But instead of education, which so many adults <em>claim</em> they want for their children, they instead literally brand these children not merely as criminals, but <em>sex offenders</em> and sentence them to a second-class status FOR LIFE. It's astonishing and infuriating and, even worse, even ostensibly freedom-loving people like sex-positive communities actually get in on the censorship action!<br /><br />At a recent sexuality conference, <a href="http://maybemaimed.com/2009/11/01/on-youth-sexuality-education-and-your-fears/" rel="nofollow">whose own participants wished to restrict the access of teenagers</a>, I gave <a href="http://vimeo.com/7783159" rel="nofollow">a 20-minute speech about the issues of sexual adultism</a> that you might find interesting.
