This might be a half-baked theory, but I wonder how much of the "think of the children!!" ideals that are almost... aimed at women rely on the idea of women as Forever Children.

What I notice is that a lot of these ideas of corruption in youth are feminized in a way that evokes motherhood, but I also notice that many people blur the lines between women or anybody forced into or expected to be women and children so that they are as one.

#politics #feminism #the idea of women being essentially children with the bodies of adult is something that's age-old #but i notice it still as something that's... subtler sometimes #such as the 'think of the children!' for the ~case~ of trans people existing i sometimes notice that people...#...subtly start including women in that 'think of the children!!!!!!!' line and it makes me wonder...#...if people see women and children as functionally the same...#again maybe this is half-baked or i think too much about this but. hm. yknow.#alright i guess... back to doing my crochet project and playing video games instead of studying 👍
