I agree in general with pushing back against the simplistic discussions you are attacking, but be careful you don't go too far the other way: I'm not sure 'intercrural intercourse' is super progressive. And though many pushed back against an abusive erastes, many did not.

Yeah I'm not in favor of the discourse over saying "the ancient Greeks said 'erotic' teacher/student relationships were the ideal, so why can't professors fuck undergrads?", at all But the fact the Greeks did fight bitterly over this is evidence the word is complicated
