Never since the beginning on written records have young adults aged 14-20 been as demeaned, degraded, and infantilized as they are now.

Over the last 20 years we've seen an insane unnatural very unhealthy artificial extension of childhood.

You can join the US Army at 17.

You can join the British Army at 16.

Pretending that teenagers are too stupid to control their own sex lives is outrageously dumb.

Some people will tell you that teens are too stupid to choose their own girlfriend or boyfriend.

Don't believe them.

16-year-olds are NOT children.

To say so is unscientific garbage. Our young adults have internalized their own infantilization to such an extent that they openly deny the existence of

The underlying belief here is that 17-year-olds are children, and simultaneously so stupid that they will be damaged by being allowed to socialize with people who are older than them.

Infantilizing young adults creates a group of 14-17 year olds living in adult bodies, who have never been expected to make any adult decisions. They become mental incompetents because that's what society made them. This is not their natural state.

Even if we accepted the ridiculous myth that human brains are “still developing” in our mid-20s

still developing =/= mentally incompetent

This was completely normal when I was a teen in the 80s.

There was absolutely no reason to establish a bizarre anti-age-group mixing taboo that has destroyed everybody's ability to think rationally.

If you fight against a problem that doesn't exist hard enough, you end up creating the very problem you were afraid of and several other related ones at the same time.
