I chose an extreme case, but children are cruel, nasty little shits. They're so nasty that we literally have to let them get away doing with all kinds of shit.

We let them do things to each other that we'd send adults to jail for. We let them bully and harass each other to degrees that would see adults having restraining orders put on them.

We treat women and children (a phrase you'll hear commonly!) the same because they literally ARE the fucking same. Small, weak, nasty little retards.
