Ephebophilia is attraction to freshly postpubescent young people, typically in the age range from 15 to 19.  


== Inclusion in MAP Attractions ==
[[File:Anarcho-MAP Flag (necromqncer).png|thumb|right|The Anarcho-MAP Flag]]
Despite being an attraction to biologically developed individuals, ephebophilia is frequently grouped together with attractions of the MAP spectrum. This happens because of the stigma shared by older people who find themselves attracted to the youth in the Western society, as well as an [[Ageism|ageist]] idea that older teenagers are in some ways equivalent to children, and associated with that legal status of a minor a large fraction of this age group has. Ephebophiles are not inherently classified as MAPs, but may identify as such.


== History of The Term ==
Anarcho-MAPism is an ideology which combines anarchist principles with the advocacy for the rights of minor attracted people.
The term itself comes from the Greek word “ephebos” (ἔφηβος), denoting a young man (17-20) training to become a full citizen<ref>[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ephebos Ehebos], via Wikipedia.</ref>. It was coined by French doctor Georges Saint-Paul in his work ''Tares et Poisons: Perversion et Perversité Sexuelles'', where he was attempting to classify male homosexuality<ref>[https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4595948/#fnr94 Janssen D. F. (2015). 'Chronophilia': Entries of Erotic Age Preference into Descriptive Psychopathology]. Medical history, 59(4), 575–598. https://doi.org/10.1017/mdh.2015.47</ref>. This term gained more traction and relative popularity in the middle of the 20th century.

This is done to validate separating age attractions into two monolithic groups, with 18, the age of consent in multiple USA states, as the dividing line.

The Anarcho-MAP Flag

Anarcho-MAPism is an ideology which combines anarchist principles with the advocacy for the rights of minor attracted people.

Definition

Anarcho-MAPism has been defined by its founder as an anarchist school of thought that focuses on MAP liberation in the context of anarchism, and advocates anarchism and social revolution as a means of MAP liberation and the abolition of mapmisia[1].

History

The term was first coined by ComradeDeath on nnia.space in October of 2020[2]. This was preceded by several posts about how he believes anarchism and MAP liberation are inherently linked.
The Anarcho-MAP Flag was created shortly afterwards by necromqncer on nnia.space[3]. Another anarchist MAP Flag was also created by an unknown user on the same site[4].

Basic Beliefs

The founder has outlined the primary focuses of Anarcho-MAPism as MAP liberation, sex and kink positivity, youth rights and an opposition to purity culture, the concept of thought crimes and the concept of normalcy.[5]. He also considered including CSA prevention as a secondary goal[6]. He further stated that the goal of Anarcho-MAPism isn't to "get an oppressive and bigoted system to accept [MAPs] by playing by its rules", but to "destroy that system"[7].

Many goals of anarchism would, if implemented, inevitably benefit MAPs too. The abolishment of law enforcement would mean that MAPs can be open about their attraction without having to worry about being reported to the police, and that MAPs who struggle with staying non-offending can seek help without being locked up against their will. Prison abolition and the replacement of punitive justice with rehabilitation would mean that MAPs who do offend are still treated with dignity and kindness. The decriminalization of victimless crimes would mean that harmless expressions of minor attraction, such as fictional child pornography, would be completely legal.

Criticism

Because Anarcho-MAPism is currently a very niche ideology, there has been very little criticism of it directly. However, there have been some instances of MAPs criticizing anarchism as a means to achieve MAP liberation[8], and many instances of anarchists criticizing MAP liberation[9]. Because anarchism advocates for the liberation of all, anti-MAP anarchists often end up arguing against their own ideals.
