>You can get more human rights if you don't interact with children.

I think some elaboration is needed.

I think we're arguing about pedophilia again.

I...maybe.  I mean, not really, but I suppose there's a claim that human rights and pedophilia are connected, usually when it comes to rights concerning gender and sexual orientation.  And pedophiles are human and have human rights, and maybe that's a very good special case where they are safest avoiding children.  So kinda about pedophilia, but not really.

Human rights are often held back by an argument that they will harm children ("think of the children").  If you avoid children, you can get the deluxe version of human rights because you don't have to wait for those freedoms to no longer be seen by some as impure.

Be careful. Human rights is a very laden term.
The right to abuse children (sexually, physically or through neglect) or to have sex with another human being while discarding their right to consent, should not be a human right.

I feel like Think of the children can be considered a tool to put rights away in a societal level of sense though, but that doesn't really depend as much on a person's proximity towards kids.
