Of course you are a tiny drop in the bucket compared to all the other people who care deeply about the welfare of children.

You are as you do.

Anything else is pretense and deceit. At best.

It is very hard to believe there really are many people who care about the welfare of children. It is impossible to believe antis are among them.

And this is why swimming pools are relevant:

The idea that reduced concern for child sexuality would translate to greater concern for auto safety and swimming pool safety seems very questionable to me. Those freed up resources could go anywhere -- including simply into tax cuts.

Fiscally, you are right. Dissident crashed against an Economic Calculation Problem.

But this is still a very important point of evidence.

If people really cared about the welfare of children, they would be having greater concern for automobile and swimming pool safety than they do. I don't need to hypothesize what they would do if the resources devoted to child sex were liberated from that. All I need to do is show that swimming pools and automobiles are being neglected. The greatest sources of harm are allowed to go on unchecked. Because of that, even lacking other data, I can affirm in all honesty and seriousness that people don't care about the welfare of children or prevention of harm. In many people it is at least forgivable if they don't care about swimming pools because they also don't care about child sex. In Antis, who don't care about swimming pools but care a lot about sex, it's completely unforgivable. This is why I say Antis do not care about children. And I will sustain it until I see them acting against greater dangers and sources of harm.

I am against penalizing minors for their sexual activity, but when society puts limits on how adults can interact with them, I don't take that limitation on the minor's sexual expression as a very serious infringement. The people who may feel it as a serious infringement are pedophiles, not girls.

My rights are not being infringed. I am very well allowed to go to a bar and get sex. In many jurisdictions, I am very well allowed to hire a prostitute and get sex. Nobody is threatening me for having sex, nor my partner for having sex with me.

It is only the minor's rights which are infringed.

Even apart from the theoretical question, the illegality of the minor's body condemns her to having to seek outlaws for sexual partners. But that's not serious, of course!
