Teacher's thread claiming sex between adults and minors is not 'intrinsically harmful' HORRIFIES Twitter

We have read some straight-up evil and awful threads on Twitter (yay, it’s part of what we do) but this one from a teacher? Ummm … yikes.

Absolutely horrifying that this person is actually in a position to teach children. While there may be gray areas, children are generally not in a position to be able to consent to sexual relations with an adult and the harm is obvious. https://t.co/3bBZ0EKn4n

Sometimes in education, a student hits you with what can only be described as a "curveball". In my case, as a provider of consent-awareness and sex-positivity-oriented courses, I often find myself getting pulled towards some rather tricky…

One common conflict, is where my responsibility to teach students *responsible self-conduct within the law*, clashes with the importance of teaching *assertiveness and agency* within their sexual relations. This tension often flares up…

…when we are discussing Age of Consent laws, and the ever-changing "close-in-age" exemptions of some other jurisdictions.

A reply I often hear when explaining the topic of sexual relations among minors and between minors and adults, is "how is it abuse if I wanted it?"… pic.twitter.com/J4oQ7iuwdN

This, is of course, a reasonable question for a young person to ask, and shows a precocious and admirable degree of critical thinking.

The answer to this question, is (deep breath…) that sex between a minor and an adult isn't *intrinsically* abusive, nor innately harmful!

But socially "inappropriate" in christian america… sure, I won't contest that one. Irresponsible? Well, maybe, particularly if highly religious parents or radfem-adjacent moms are alerted, which can lead to serious legal repercussions that I have witnessed first-hand.

One does not have to be a Christian to know adults should not have sex with minors.

One thing I do quite often, is get the kids to ask themselves whether there is some kind of "trip switch" inside their brains, or some kind of hardwired biological mechanism which ensures they will be traumatized if somebody touches them sexually before they pass a legally… pic.twitter.com/a5vokowSp8

…determined age cut-off. This is a useful thought-experiment, because of course, the idea is an absurdity. An ahistorical and evidentially devoid absurdity!

Since harm in casual relations with peers and adults comes from guilt and social conditioning…

…or in thankfully rare cases, force, which is always wrong, it's important to drill these ideas into kids from an early age. As sex-positive educators, we have a responsibility *not* to teach the next generation to see themselves as helpless victims, especially young girls…

Understanding that adults have no business having sex with them does not make any minor a victim.

…who are known to be the demographic most at risk of purity culture, social shaming and gaslighting. Consent is such an important subject to teach when it comes to preventative public health, as when kids are equipped with the *right kind* of information…

The crap these people make up to excuse this behavior and line of thinking … wow.

It is, of course, a great relief for my students to learn they are not innately "dirty", corrupted, or bound to suffer some great psychological torture following consensual sex play…

…with partners of their own (or any) age. If any of them ask for evidence, or repeat the hogwash about sex being intrinsically harmful (usually learned from the trafficking/rescue industry, prohibitionists, quack TV doctors and "grooming" RW culture warriors)…

…I then immediately point them towards the work of Bruce L Rind, described by one author as "scientifically correct, politically incorrect".

Rind's original 1998 study in the thread attached, has not only been passed by regulators…https://t.co/JLe1rmxuCK

…but successfully repeated on two occasions (Ulrich, Daly), and his more recent work with a Finnish sample is VERY interesting.https://t.co/ApDVnvKwOg

You have no business discussing sex and gender with anyone’s children you monster.

You make me want to puke. Stop trying to normalize adults having sex w a child. If I knew your real name I’d turn your ass in, child molester.

We are living in a Genesis 19:9 world...

“This fellow came here as a foreigner, and now he wants to play the judge!
We’ll treat you worse than them.”
They kept bringing pressure on Lot and moved forward to break down the door.

Genesis 13:13

Now the men of Sodom were wicked and were sinning greatly against the LORD.

Genesis 18:20-21
20. Then the LORD said, "The outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is so great and their sin so grievous
21. that I will go down and see if what they have done is as bad as the outcry that has reached me. If not, I will know."

Genesis 19:4-7
4. Before they had gone to bed, all the men from every part of the city of Sodom--both young and old--surrounded the house.
5. They called to Lot, "Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them."
6. Lot went outside to meet them and shut the door behind him
7. and said, "No, my friends. Don't do this wicked thing.

Leviticus niv

18:22 Do not have sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman; that is detestable.

they parade their sin like Sodom; they do not hide it.

2 Peter 2:13b Their idea of pleasure is to carouse in broad daylight.

They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their pleasures while they feast with you.

Ezekiel 16:49-50 "`Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom:

She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy.

They were haughty and did detestable things before me.

Therefore I did away with them as you have seen.

Romans 1 New American Bible (Revised Edition) (NABRE)

18 The wrath of God is indeed being revealed from heaven against every impiety and wickedness of those who suppress the truth by their wickedness. 19 For what can be known about God is evident to them, because God made it evident to them. 20 Ever since the creation of the world, his invisible attributes of eternal power and divinity have been able to be understood and perceived in what he has made. As a result, they have no excuse; 21 for although they knew God they did not accord him glory as God or give him thanks. Instead, they became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless minds were darkened. 22 While claiming to be wise, they became fools 23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for the likeness of an image of mortal man or of birds or of four-legged animals or of snakes.

24 Therefore, God handed them over to impurity through the lusts of their hearts for the mutual degradation of their bodies. 25 They exchanged the truth of God for a lie and revered and worshiped the creature rather than the creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. 26 Therefore, God handed them over to degrading passions. Their females exchanged natural relations for unnatural, 27 and the males likewise gave up natural relations with females and burned with lust for one another. Males did shameful things with males and thus received in their own persons the due penalty for their perversity. 28 And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God handed them over to their undiscerning mind to do what is improper. 29 They are filled with every form of wickedness, evil, greed, and malice; full of envy, murder, rivalry, treachery, and spite.

2 Peter 2

1. But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them--bringing swift destruction on themselves.
2. Many will follow their shameful ways and will bring the way of truth into disrepute.
3. In their greed these teachers will exploit you with stories they have made up. Their condemnation has long been hanging over them, and their destruction has not been sleeping.
4. For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but sent them to hell, putting them into gloomy dungeons to be held for judgment;
5. if he did not spare the ancient world when he brought the flood on its ungodly people, but protected Noah, a preacher of righteousness, and seven others;
6. if he condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah by burning them to ashes, and made them an example of what is going to happen to the ungodly;
7. and if he rescued Lot, a righteous man, who was distressed by the filthy lives of lawless men
8. (for that righteous man, living among them day after day, was tormented in his righteous soul by the lawless deeds he saw and heard)--
9. if this is so, then the Lord knows how to rescue godly men from trials and to hold the unrighteous for the day of judgment, while continuing their punishment.
10. This is especially true of those who follow the corrupt desire of the sinful nature and despise authority. Bold and arrogant, these men are not afraid to slander celestial beings;
11. yet even angels, although they are stronger and more powerful, do not bring slanderous accusations against such beings in the presence of the Lord.
12. But these men blaspheme in matters they do not understand. They are like brute beasts, creatures of instinct, born only to be caught and destroyed, and like beasts they too will perish.
13. They will be paid back with harm for the harm they have done. Their idea of pleasure is to carouse in broad daylight. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their pleasures while they feast with you.

What kind of a people are we;

that we allow men dressed in womens clothes

to pervert the minds of little children?

But there IS hope!!!

1 Corinthians 6:9-11

9. Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived:
Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders
10. nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.
11. And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.

If you could NOT change, you would be in most pitiful shape...
