Sexual Revolution. Sexual liberation. In the 1960ies, 1970ies, even 1980ies, even bra-burning feminists thought that sexual repression was at the root of most evils.

Anti-authoritarian education was in. Age of consent was considered a relic of Victorian sexual repression. Wilhelm Reich’s theory about sexual repression being the root of all evil were main stream progressive creed of progressive leftists. Reputable magazine’s "Der Spiegel" May 27, 1977 cover depicted nude 11 year old Eva Ionesco on the cover who already had appeared in Playboy October 1976. (Trigger warning: nude child photos) German newsstands freely sold the magazine Sonnenfreunde (careful, nude children at this Google search link, if you don’t have safe filtering). 16 year-old Samantha Fox appeared nude on page 3 of British Newsmagazine "The Sun". 11 to 15 year old Brooke Shield’s nude photos were everywhere. (Disclaimer). The German Green political party had a committee that favored liberalization of adult child sexuality[1], in similar fashion as Nambla.
What would a man do when anti-authoritarian children would open his fly and play with his privates? After all, antiauthoritarian theory would not allow for chastising the children, for repressing their natural curiosity and impulses
German politician and European Parliament member Daniel Cohn Bendit is in hot water. His old writings from the 1970’ies resurfaced, where he describes being accosted and fondled by children.
Back in the early 1970s Cohn-Bendit, who had been declared persona non grata in France and sent back to Germany as a consequence of his involvement in hooliganism and rioting,
Hooliganism and rioting are forgiven and forgotten. In today’s world, we have more pressing problems. Child and Teenage Sexuality. (Disclaimer).
worked as an educator in a day care centre for children that had been set up to make experiments with “anti-authoritarian” education. An essential tenet of the “anti-authoritarian” concept apparently was to confront the children, who were at the time five or six years old, with unbridled sexuality, in order to overcome traditional morality.
We don’t think that children need or ought to be confronted with sexuality. Even in the most repressed society, they occasionally play doctor and show interest in sexual experimentation totally on their own accord.
Later on, Cohn-Bendit wrote a book about this, describing his experiences as a nursery school teacher in the following terms:
Writing is almost as dangerous as photographing. It is a proof of a crime, but can be denied more easily then a photograph. Because women like to read child abuse novels, feminists made sure that only the male crime of possession of child porn photos was criminalized while women’s favorite child abuse novels are best-sellers at Amazon
My flirtations with all children soon acquired a definitely erotic character. I could sense how young girls aged five had already learned how to get off with me…
In the original German text it sounded more like the 5 year old girls were flirting with him (Disclaimer)
It happened several times that some children opened my codpiece and started caressing me. According to the circumstances of each case, I reacted differently, but the children’s wishes posed problems for me… when they insisted, I caressed them in return. I was accused of being a pervert, and there were letters to the City Council, asking whether I was paid for by public funds. Fortunately I had concluded my contract directly with the parents’ board, otherwise I would have been sacked…
It is hard to believe, but in the 1970’ies, there was not much of a child sex trauma myth, teenage sexuality hysteria, or child porn laws. Sexual liberation was considered progressive and adult-child sex (Disclaimer) was considered less offensive then gay sex.
In Germany, the anti-authoritarian movement has had its strongest impact in the field of education…(Wilhelm) Reich and Marx were the pillars of this new movement. Freud was less important, because he had done objective research on sexuality, whereas Reich represented the fight for sexuality, in particular for the sexuality of younger people.
These lines were published in 1975. At the time they seemed to represent a “modern” and “enlightened” approach to education, and nobody took offense. It is only in recent years that they have begun to cause a problem for Mr. Cohn-Bendit, earning him repeated accusations of being a pedophile.

The 1970’ies Cohn Bendit has to explain the 1970’s Cohn Bendit. And of course he must not state the truth:
In the 1970’s Germany, there was not much of a child sex hysteria, no repression of academic research like the Rind Study. The child sex trauma myth had yet to be invented (Disclaimer). Daniel Cohn Bendit must not say that children’s sexual experimentation is pretty harmless, but that the adult’s hysteria causes most of the trauma (like Susan Clancy found).
Cohn-Bendit published a number of provocative statements regarding "sex with children" in the 1970s and early 1980s, notably in his 1975 book "The Great Bazaar" where he describes erotic encounters with five-year-olds in his time as a teacher in an anti-authoritarian kindergarten. He has been accused as advocating pedophilia since at least 2001. This controversy re-erupted in 2013; as Cohn-Bendit received the Theodor Heuss Prize, there was a rally by anti-pedophilia activists. The affair triggered wider research into the pro-pedophilia activism which prevailed in the German Green Party (without direct involvement on the part of Cohn-Bendit) well into the 1980s. An article in the Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung uncovered numerous "repulsive" passages (abstoßende Texte) in Pflasterstrand, a leftist magazine which appeared under the editorship of Cohn-Bendit, and cited a 1978 defense of Cohn-Bedit’s of this editorial practice, as well as an appearance of Cohn-Bendit in a French television talkshow in 1982 where he described being erotically undressed by a five-year-old. Cohn-Bendit reacted to these allegations by claiming that his descriptions of erotic encounters with pre-pubescent girls were not based on true events but were merely intended as what he today calls "obnoxious provocation" aimed at questioning sexual morals at the time that "shouldn’t have been written that way."[10]

kids should have sexual rights just like adults,to say yes as well as no.there needs to be a change in attitudes to cross generational sex,therefore there should result in less damaged people.

It seems like the whole Anglosphere and most of northern Europe is going into some kind of mass-insanity these days. These witch-hunts and sexual taboos are more characteristic of totem-pole worshipping savages than civilized societies.
The same people who brought you free child sexuality in the 60’s and early 70’s brought you child sex abuse hysteria in the early 80’s. We were at war with Eurasia, then East Asia. The memory hole is a little harder to maintain with the internet.
I imagine some of these people had young children by this time and wanted to control their sexuality- something any decent and responsible wants to do. But they couldn’t say “I want to restrict and control my child’s sexuality so they will grow to be a functioning bourgeois adult and not a sleazy pervert” because that would of course be bourgeois. They had to say “sexual activity traumatizes children and so is evil.” I don’t know that sexual activity traumatizes children, but it certainly imprints them, as they are ripe for imprinting. Which is why pedophiles and homosexuals groom vulnerable children.
I insist children be off limits because I would like other people’s children to have the same respect my children have.
