Soft science, hard time: the expanding sexual regulatory state as facilitated by science-light

Children now exist almost entirely within protective bubbles; ghettos of other children whose ages are within several years of their own, without any access to "unqualified" adults. No choice is exercised by the children in choosing these adults, since their instincts for sensing danger are considered to be wholly absent, even when well into puberty. "Unqualified adults" i.e. those adults not blood relatives or without "appropriate" academic credentials and unlicensed by the state, are almost entirely unavailable to children and adolescents as mentors and friends. As a result, children now must derive all intellectual and emotional sustenance from those adults vetted and approved by their government and their parents. [...]

Social isolation has replaced, in just one or two generations, real world experience, experimentation and exploration. Children themselves are now scrutinized for any sign of "inappropriate" behavior with other children. Six-year-old boys have been charged with felonious sexual assault for playing doctor with five-year-old girls. Children are now routinely added to sex offender registries for sexual interests expressed towards other children. Children who sexually "offend" are, invariably, subjected to involuntary "therapy" to ensure that they will not "re-offend". [...]

Any displays of affection expressed towards a child or adolescent are now fraught with peril and condemned as "inappropriate" when exercised by non-parental, particularly male, adults. [...] As a result, men are today far less inclined towards activities or professions which bring them into contact with kids. [...] This is not to say that women are immune from such scrutiny. Perhaps as a result of so many fewer men in contact with kids today, women have, in recent years, been themselves increasingly subject to exposure as "sexual predators" of children and adolescents, undoubtedly a consequence unforeseen by some of the moral panics' original authors.
