Yes, treating biological adults as though they are children is the
infant-ization, belittling, and disempowering of young adults and
ultimately adults, as well as criminalizing rather than celebrating
wholesome relationships.

A good comparison is Italy vs Australia, where in Italy is common for
older children and younger teenagers to be allowed a small glass of
wine at dinner when the parents are drinking wine at dinner.

As a result of this, binge drinking in much of Europe is basically
non existent.

In contrast, in Australia, under the moral virtue signalling banner
of "refusing to normalize alcholoholism", we have laws on the books,
and a MSM enforced culture of stricture around "children and alcohol"
(with children of course being defined as anyone under the age where
drinking alcohol publicly is not criminalized, in Australia usually
18, and in America often 21).

So parents who might do as the Europeans do and allow their young
offspring a little alcohol on occasion, are vilified as irresponsible
parents who ought be prosecuted.

And in Australia, as a result of the above, binge drinking in young
adults is some of the worst in the world.

A similar situation is the case with the fear, loathing and almost
universal (in the (((MSM))) dominated West at least) condemnation of
age differential sexual relationships.

Our "public conversation" is messed up, and I say it is messed up for
very specific reasons, intentions and purposes, which you appear to
continue to rail vehemently against.

One reason such railing and raging is counterproductive, is that as
more people become aware of the underlying causes, intentions and
purposes for the "crappy public conversation" that we have around
these issues, the better the chance of shifting that conversation and
ultimately collectively rectifying some of these problems.

Yes, of course, there are more reasons, more causes - such as the
puritanical history which some of us share - but one cause does not
necessarily detract from another cause, and in fact they may be
complementary.
