Thank you for this post

No one in the pro-choice faction of the MAA community support the idea of underagers being literally forced into sex rings or in making CP. These are what people think whenever they hear about intergenerational relationships, much as so many people automatically think about sweatshop conditions when child labor is mentioned. Pro-choicers are exactly that--pro-choice. If the element of choice is taken out of a young person's life in any type of situation, we do not support the situation. In fact, the very idea of kids being forced to adhere to our society's modern conception of "innocence" is one example of the law and culture working in concert to remove the element of choice for kids to define for themselves what type of societal paradigm they will adhere to. Such attitudes also serve to besmirch the public image of sex by implying that sexual activity invariably "taints" the concept of innocence and fills what is supposed to be a blissful time of life with icky impurities.
