Feminism is often described quite accurately as "the radical notion that women are people."
So what is the radical notion that children are people too called?
I don't know if there is such a word, but I propose we create one. Most people don't even acknowledge that ageism is a serious problem. So I think its important to create some language for discussing it, for bringing into the consciousness of more people, especially the young people.
I read recently that the Lakota word for child is wakanyeja which is translated directly as sacred being.
This is all I have to say right now.
