we need an attitude adjustment
School is for kids. but puberty makes us adults. but modern society keeps young adults in school and treats them like children. It's a strange artificially extended childhood and it results in odd behavior.

Look at the stats. Youth are having less sex now than at any time in like 70 years. They're all running around going "Ew. You perv!" and shouting about how bad it is that they, someone else, or a cartoon character is being "sexualized" Gens Y and Z are obsessed with sex. Just like the Victorians were. and this is precisely because they are very sex-negative For all the talk of kinks, pride, and 57 genders, they spend most of their time condemning "ick", "gross", "kinda weird", "sus", etc
Nature turns children into adults. Nature doesn't use calendars and count to one's 18th birthday. Biology doesn't work according to legislation.
It's absolutely amazing that the same age group that is infamous for being disobedient, intractable, and stubborn as hell, the 14-18 crowd, are simultaneously believed to be completely helpless against the magic brainwashing power of older men.
We have created the world where 6th graders act a certain way. Most of that isn't nature. It certainly isn't inevitable.
Puberty turns girls into women. Most women finish puberty around 14 years of age. So logically at 12 or 13 you are an old girl. A young girl is 3 or 4 years old.
The fact that an American soldier can come home from a year of combat in Iraq and it's illegal for him to go to a bar with his dad on father's day, because he's "too young" is so appalling, so shocking, and so fucking stupid, every citizen of this country should be ashamed AF.
The term "teenager" is a linguistic thing which describes a mathematical thing. It has nothing to do with biology, psychology, or human development.
These statistics are old, but they show that the perpetrators of sexual assaults of teens are VERY OFTEN other teens. We have reduced our thinking to THE ONLY PERMITTED narrative, which says the perp must be a "grown ass adult" Let's fucking get honest about these things.

Teens and 20 somethings used to mix in social situations all the time. They knew each other. They dated each other. (I know, I was there, in the 80s) None of that is true anymore. Young adults have been artificially separated into two groups alien to each other. 30 year olds talk about 20 year olds as if they are a different species, and they are literally disgusted by the idea of kissing someone that young. Hostile tribes have been created.
The people arguing that teens have brains good enough to choose abortion... ONE WEEK AGO ...were claiming that teens have such feeble brains that they can't consent to make love to their girl/boyfriends. So which is it? Are teenagers mentally capable adults, or retards?

Peeps got angry as hell at John Denver for palling around with Pinochet, and with Cat Stevens siding with the Ayatollah. The Cons stopped buying Elton John records when they found out he's bisexual.
We let 16 year olds work full time, drive cars, etc just like all other adults, but then pretend that they're little kids who can't handle drinking beer until they are 21. America has a bizarre unhealthy schizophrenic relationship with her young adults.
It takes 2 minutes to teach a young woman to tell potential suitors to fuck off. This guy writes "grown men would approach her" as if that's the same as meeting an ax murderer :-D

The vast majority of brain development happens *during* puberty. Pre-pubescents are not able to handle certain challenges. After puberty however 14, 15, and 16 year olds have perfectly good brains, and we all know it. We need to stop infantilizing them.
He thinks they should internalize their infantilization.
This is EXTREMELY unnatural. Evolution designed us to be parents raising small children at age 18.
but this idiot wants to make sure we brainwash all teens into believing they have to be idiots for many more years.
