The Rights of Children
Reframing Politics Based on What Really Matters
Since the civil rights movement, much of western politics has focused on the idea of the rights of adults in different contexts. We have spoken about the rights of women, the rights of black people, and then the rights of gay men, the rights of trans women, the rights of criminals, and the rights of marauding rapists from the global south. We even speak about the right for some countries to genocide others. Whenever an idea begins on poor philosophical foundations, one may find that it always devolves into something ridiculous, as the idea of “rights” has when it was divorced from the religious context from which it arose.
There is a way that human beings ought to treat one another in a way that is good and right and this idea comes from Christianity. “Human rights” are not a secular concept. It is a deeply religious thing to say things such as “innocent human life ought to be protected” or that “you shouldn’t covet or steal your neighbour’s property”. Yes, many secular people may support these ideas because they also logically work when we consider the types of rules that are most likely to sustain a well-functioning society in which people are mostly happy. However, a secular understanding of human rights divorces them from the “why” which is so crucial to preventing their abuse and perversion. In other words, the idea of rights, removed from the religious context, removes the spirit from the law and opens it to corruption.
This is exactly what has been done to the idea of human rights, and I have the perfect solution to this important philosophical problem. The solution is quite simple: we must re-evaluate every single cultural philosophical idea about rights from the perspective of children.
Women’s Rights
Let us begin by slaughtering the most sacred cow first: women’s rights are a euphemism for forcing children to pay for the selfishness and vanity of grown women.
Have women historically been deprived of basic human rights? In some places and in some parts of the world, this not only was true, it is true today. Women in many parts of the world still are treated like chattel or property to be bought and traded like animals. It was in thirteenth century Catholic Europe that women started to gain protection under the law from molestation and exploitation. This was not inspired by feminism, but inspired by Christianity which viewed the human soul as valuable and worthy of dignity, equally in a man as in a woman. This didn’t mean that men and women were equal in every quality, however.
Canon Law developed in the 12th and 13th centuries by the Catholic church mandated that required mutual consent for marriage. Both the men and the woman had to consent to marriage and to vow that they were not being coerced by anyone to marry or the sacrament would be nullified. This was radical in a world that often married off women without their approbation let alone consent. In fact, this still happens in many parts of the world. Under similar laws, parents could not force daughters to become nuns. Widows were permitted to inherit their husband’s property. Men were required by law and culture to provide for their wives and children. Divorce was not allowed. Adultery was punishable by the law. Women could own and run businesses, appear in court and own property. This was done because of all the myriad situations that arise in which a woman does not have a father, brother or husband to protect and provide for her. This is also in alignment with the descriptions of the ideal woman in Proverbs 31.
What you’ll notice here, is that in none of these “rights” is listed the right for the woman to neglect or abandon her children, or to kill her unborn children. Nowhere among these “rights” is there the right for a woman to become a prostitute and be celebrated for it, for her to subvert the natural order and rule countries, or fight in wars. Women’s rights, in the context of religion from which they arise, are meant to align our society better to nature. Not to benefit women at the cost of innocent children.
When we look at modern secular women’s rights from the perspective of children, we find that they do nothing but harm children.
Women being permitted to divorce their husbands for any reason, allows them to create fatherless homes which harm children psychologically to such a significant extent that they are significantly more likely to grow up to become prostitutes or criminals. Women being permitted to pursue the same careers as men, for example in the military, as pilots, or as police officers, denigrates the quality of these professions and this ultimately harms the children that these positions are meant to ultimately benefit. Many jobs also take women away from the home so they are not raised by their mothers and are instead put into daycares where children are known to suffer psychologically in the early years as evidenced by the thorough research of many child psychologists. T
he most prominent one talking about this today is Erika Komisar and I highly recommend her book “Being There”. Finally, women’s “rights” to abortion kills children outright. It is often argued for in the context of protecting a woman’s health or giving relief to rape victims, but these make up such a marginal proportion of abortions that it is clear the true reason is for the convenience of women who have irresponsible sex.
It is a reasonable argument to make that women’s rights should begin where the dignity of their soul and the preservation of their life is relevant, and should end where it is simply profiting their convenience and vanity at the cost of the well-being of innocent people, primary among them being children. This is not a complex or novel idea; this is how the Catholic church has been functioning since the 13th century.
Gay and Trans Rights
First, they convinced us that submitting to a sin is an identity, and then once the identity group was created, it was exposed to the same kind of civil rights treatment. They convinced men that their disordered lusts for sodomy were an immutable part of their identity, then once these men created the idea of “a homosexual man” they then could advocate for “gay rights”. The rights of gay men now supersede the rights of children in modern secular society.
Men with disordered temptations are being permitted to purchase babies from women who act as surrogates for them. These men are purposely ripping a child away from its mother and raising the child in a disordered and unnatural upbringing which harms them psychologically.
Children have the right to a present mother and a father who love each other. Gay marriage, gay adoption, and gay men hiring surrogates, denies children their rights just so some perverts can act out their twisted fantasy of cosplaying a normal family. But no matter how much makeup a man wears, he can never be a child’s mother. This standard applies to lesbian women as well as to parents who get a divorce over something that does not put at least one of the parents in jail.
Gay men in pride parades and demonstrations feel that they have more of a right to public spaces than innocent children. They feel that they have more of a right to parade their fetishes and perversions around in public, more than children have a right to keeping their sexual innocence in their childhood. They publish books about being gay, and push these books specifically onto children. They force themselves into every public avenue to assuage their own vanity. They believe their right to not be “misgendered” is more important than the child’s right to not be confused about gender at an incredibly impressionable age. Children deserve to be insulated by the insanity, mental illness and psychopathy of adults.
Gay men and trans people and any other sexually confused people aren’t being stripped of their rights when they are marginalised and ostracised and silenced. Rather, they are being put in their proper place away from society so as to prioritise the rights of children to sexual innocence and sanity in the mainstream culture and society.
We cannot litigate away insanity. But we can force people to keep their insanities to themselves.
Criminal Rights
The public world needs to foremost be safe and comfortable for children This is the best metric for a good society because these are not only the future of the society, but they are also the most innocent and vulnerable people. The laws of nature care nothing for the preservation of the innocent and vulnerable-- in Mother Nature’s Realm, Might is Right. When Man, through his Might, ekes out a garden in which to build his civilisation, it is through his protections that he creates a world in which the innocent and vulnerable are protected. To the extent that man fails to do this in the society he creates, he fails to create a society at all, as the inside of the garden becomes indistinguishable from the tangled weeds and wild flora of the jungle.
One way that modern secular society fails at being a society is the way in which leftist politics have permitted criminals, vagrants, and rapists to take over public spaces and make them completely inhospitable to the innocent and the vulnerable. When we refuse to put the criminals in jail, the whole of society becomes one big open air prison that punishes ordinary people.
Some excellent examples of this are the cities such as London, Paris, New York, Toronto, Detroit, Manchester, Birmingham, and San Fransisco. All of these cities and many more, are overrun with crime, depredation, and an overpopulation of migrants with a propensity to commit rape and violent crimes at a rate much higher than the societies they migrate to. In particular migrants to the West who are from Africa, South America, the Middle East and South Asia are known to commit more violent crimes per capita than any other group. However, migrants alone are not responsible for crime. There are many native Americans and Europeans who also degrade the quality of society. The problem is not who is doing the task of degrading these cities, but rather, why are they not being punished and put away?
Leftist politics are more concerned with not appearing “racist” or “bigoted” than they are with actual virtue. I believe this is because the idea of virtue has been separated from its religious context also. The virtue of charity is to look after those who are more vulnerable than you. Leftists tend to have endless empathy and kindness for criminals, but very little for the people they victimise. The homeless crackheads might be suffering from mental illness and poverty and all kinds of other issues we may pity, but that doesn’t give them the right to then make cities unsafe and unsanitary for children to live in. Homeless people have made public libraries unusable. Cafes in big cities have also been taken over by them. Cities like London and Paris and New York are patrolled by migrants from violent cultures that have a tendency to stab and rape with impunity.
It is not healthy for children to be locked in their homes, only to leave it to go to school and come back. It is also not fair to children to keep them away from society on remote farms and homesteads in order to safeguard them from criminals and sexually corrupting media. But this is what parents have been reduced to offering their children in the modern world. Residents of the city of Birmingham report on conversations on X that when they were children in the 1970s, they could walk around the whole town perfectly safe, but now, their grandchildren cannot go beyond one block or even leave their own backyards because, practically, it is just not safe anymore. Children can no longer enjoy the vibrant culture of cities like London, Paris and New York as they could even in the 1980s because the people who run such cities have more empathy for criminals than for children.
Foremost, it is children who have a right to cities.
Cities should be constructed to be safe and hospitable to them primarily. When children have access to safe cities, they develop more independence, courage and can develop more maturity. They can make friends and do projects in the real world. They can be more involved in their local community and therefore exist more in the real world which they stand to inherit. Instead of this, however, due to the leftist concept of “rights” for homeless crackheads, children only have the right to play video games in their bedrooms and develop toxic social media addictions.
Children Have the Right to...
Children have the right to be raised by two, heterosexual parents who love them. They have a right to a biological father and a mother. They have a right to not be discarded or frozen in perpetuity through some horrifying fertility science project called IVF. Children have the right to be raised in their own culture, in cities built by their ancestors and for those cities to be safe and clean. They have a right to their grandparents. They have the right to be raised in a society that doesn’t hate them. They have a right to go on airplanes and not be chastised for having to learn how to exist in public spaces. They have a right to go to their families’ weddings. They have a right to go to the public library without worrying they’ll be exposed to drag queens or crackheads. They have a right to go to school without the teachers robbing them of their sexual innocence or telling them they're evil for their skin colour.
Children have a right to life. And this is where any good political philosophy begins. Everyone else’s rights are subordinate.
