Infantalisation (why?)

Infantalisation is a word that I use with some frequency, especially in recent years. It has a very specific meaning to me. Specifically, it denotes trying to reduce a person to the living level or function of an infant. There are other connotations, such as trying to make a person see themselves as an infant or in a way commensurate with a lower age. I also have a couple of synonyms I use when speaking aloud. Baby-fication or kiddy-fication are ones I utter aloud, usually to others.

Who shot first is actually beside the fukking point, George.

I am a child of the 1980s. Well, actually, I was born towards the close of the 1970s, but that pretty much puts me in the child of the 1980s category since on December 31, 1979, I had only just worked out this whole walking and staying upright 80% of the time thing.
