    I’ve often wondered what libertarian parents talk to their children about between the regular abuse and the sexual abuse

      Probably that children are property and they are lucky to be working at home instead of sold on the free market.

        No no no, it’s my rights stop at the end of my fist and the start of your face! (Unless they’re my kids)

      Often they don’t, since save for a small number of moderates among them that are actually mostly decent on this topic or even have somewhat progressive views on the subject, they either believe children are property thus the parents can do anything they wish to their children, have all sorts of excuses and conspiracy theories about why people with common sense doesn’t let them abuse their kids (won’t go into it, I’m already mentally scarred by reading about it, curiosity killed the cat), or limit their interest for teens under the guise of all sorts of excuses (supposed enough mental maturity, thinking the issue stems from “undeveloped bodies”, etc.).

      Wonder no more… They start early and often using any free moments to convince their children that ayn rand wasn’t a hypocrite for living off social security when she died.
