Death of a Thousand Cuts

Maybe it's contributing subtle, well written and difficult to refute points to wikipedia. Perhaps it is anonymously engaging groups in thought experiments, or exposing irrational issues surrounding the periphery of the topics like sex offender registries, or Megans' Law or "Amber Alerts" in the US, but each point of refutation is a cut at the thick skin of indifference.

We want a delusional belief system to die "the death of a thousand cuts", and since we lack the resources to nuke it, the alternatives are few. One potential hazard to this multi-pronged attack approach is that, almost inevitably, we will wind up shooting some of our own side in the ensuing crossfire. There are shibboleths enshrined in that delusional belief system - the veneration of childhood is one instance. If society and the law is to treat with kids as fully functioning people, it must first set aside this faux-Victorian adoration of childhood, and its supposed "innocence".

The sex-negative culture can be attacked without any mention of P. The promulgation of victimhood can be attacked, without any mention of P. The surveillance society, and over-intrusive law. The nanny culture which smothers children in a straitjacket of "protection", shutting off from them most avenues of socialising outside the home--the paranoid "vetting" of any adult who wishes to work with children. It's not hard to draw up the various prongs of an attack.
