Childism
Childism in its original sense is the equivalent of racism. It can also refer to advocating for empowering children as a subjugated group, to discrimination against children or, less frequently, to childlike or childish qualities. It can operate as a positive term for a movement, akin to feminism, or as a critical term for prejudice and discrimination against children, akin to racism. It may be connected with critical theories like feminism, decolonialism and environmentalism, ageism, adultism and patriarchy.
