I don’t know, the protest from adults of “you’re treating me like a child!” to point out that they’re being treated with disregard, or having their autonomy revoked, or being treated like a lesser person who doesn’t deserve to be treated like a human says something about the way we treat children. If you are being treated so poorly that you liken it to being treated like children, doesn’t that tell you something about the way children are, by and large, treated?
