The cognitive dissonance required to see a group of people doing a stupid and bad thing and having your first response be "this is the kind of thing the opposite group of people would usually do," it's really amazing.
"That boy doing X reminds me that I hate it when girls do X!"
"That adult doing Y reminds me that I hate it when children do Y!"
"That Buddhist doing Z reminds me that I hate it when Hindus do Z!"
It's so bizarre.

I'm just pointing out that those on the left have a reason for being ambivalent about it inasmuch as, in addition to its laudable goals, it also has the side effect of making it more difficult for them to influence minors.
