The central argument put forward against sexual contacts between adults and minors by victimologists such as [[David Finkelhor]] is that inequalities between the generations are concrete in nature and often lead to abuse and harm. Critics point out that this argument could be applied to various other forms of unbalanced relationship, yet it is selectively applied against taboos by victimologists.

'''Inequality''' in human relationships refers to a ''status quo'' whereby one party is considered in some way superior the other. Whilst this situation is practically unavoidable, relationships in which specific (age, disability) and/or marked inequalities are present have been interpreted as inherently abusive by modern society and its scholars - particularly in the fields of popular thought, [[victimology]] and mainstream [[feminism]]. With said dogma taken for granted, the emphasis of anti-oppressive social theory moves from a pro-choice position to advocacy for social restrictions; "protecting children and young people from potential harm".
