Ethics Professor At New York Public University Praises Evolutionary Advantages Of Pedophilia

An ethics professor at the New York public university has praised the ‘evolutionary advantages’ of pedophilia. He isn’t the first, and the reality is that he’s been openly backed by 153 other professors.

There seems to have been an increase in individuals striving to initiate a dialogue regarding “de-stigmatizing” pedophilia in recent months. We previously recounted the example of a transgender-identifying professor who wrote The Long Dark Shadow: Minor-Attracted People and Their Pursuit of Dignity to “destigmatize” pedophilia.

Alyn Walker prefers the word “minor-attracted people” (MAPs) to “pedophile” since it has fewer unpleasant overtones and conveys the idea that sexuality is variable, whilst evading the question of whether she views pedophilia to be a different sexual orientation.

In January, USA Today published an article on pedophilia by journalist Alia Dastagir, lobbying for “de-stigmatizing the attraction” and arguing that it is “among the most misunderstood,” mentioning that “researchers who study pedophilia say the term describes an attraction, not an action,” and that “using it interchangeably with ‘abuse’ fuels misperceptions about pedophiles.” After receiving outrage, the newspaper took down a string of tweets.

Nevertheless, it’s possible that now the social media microphone is merely attracting our attention to these isolated incidents, and that instead of a trend, we’re simply witnessing academics whose research would otherwise go unnoticed getting their research highlighted in public.

But, with the Netflix movie Cuties; the phenomenon of “drag kids” (which a pedophile proponent has outlined as advantageous to his cause); and the continual fetishization of kids in entertainment — not to bring up the notion that sexualized entertainers such as drag queens are adequate as children’s entertainment — everything seems sinisterly troubling.

Something has now become a viral phenomenon once more. Dr. Stephen Kershnar, a professor at SUNY Fredonia, has now been suspended following an inquiry into a footage of him saying that opposing pedophilia is “a mistake” and that “evolutionary advantages to child/adult sex.” Kershnar teaches integrated ethics and libertarian philosophy (surprise, surprise). Students reacted angrily to his remarks, leading to his suspension.

Kerhsnar appears to believe that sexual connections among adults and children can be beneficial. According to his own words, here are his thoughts:

Imagine that an adult male wants to have sex with a 12-year-old girl. Imagine that she’s a willing participant. A very standard, very widely held view is that there’s something deeply wrong about this. It’s wrong independent of it being criminalized.

It’s not obvious to me that it’s in fact wrong. I think this is a mistake. And I think exploring that why it’s a mistake will tell us not only things about adult/sex and statutory rape and also fundamental principles of morality … The notion that it’s wrong even with a one-year-old is not quite obvious to me.

Kershnar defended this heinous advocacy of pedophilia by claiming that there have been societies where grandparents purportedly conduct oral sex on infant boys to calm them down, saying, “It’s hard to see what’s wrong with it.”

Despite acknowledging that youngsters “can’t understand” sexual activity, Kershnar claims that this reasoning is refuted by the fact that children frequently engage in activities they don’t fully comprehend, such as athletics or religious rites.

The awfulness of Kershnar’s words is challenging to overstate. Kershnar noted, “[Attraction to minors is] fairly widespread among young men, particularly young men in our society.” He said that allowing this could have “evolutionary advantages,” and also that the issue, in his opinion, is society’s attitude to pedophilia rather than pedophilia altogether. He does, nevertheless, argue that pedophilia should continue to be outlawed, but it is unclear just how this ties to his other beliefs.

What bothers me the most is not that a professor harbors such terrible beliefs. After all, he isn’t the first. Kershnar is a descendant of Dr. Alfred Kinsey, and it was just discovered that Dr. Michel Foucault, the father of “wokeness,” was likely a pedophile rapist.

It’s the reality that he’s been openly backed by 153 other professors, who said that while they may disagree with Kershnar’s results, his academic freedom ought to allow him to investigate this topic further.

Interestingly, philosopher Peter Singer, who has argued for infanticide on the premise that a human newborn is no more precious than a piglet, is among the signatories to an open letter supporting Kershnar.

Should there be any points of view that are beyond the pale? Should a defense of pedophilia fall under the purview of intellectual freedom, particularly in our post-sexual revolution cultural environment of fluid modernity and relativism? I’m not a big supporter of cancel culture, but supporting child sexual abuse has to be one of the worst things you can do.

The notion that it’s wrong even with a one-year-old is not quite obvious to me.

”Allow me to clarify it for you.”

This has been going on in much of the Muslim world for centuries. The idea is that the mother stimulating the boy at an early age encourages his hormonal surges to make him more aggressive during development and, therefore, more liable to be the victor in combat.

Visualize dead child rapists.

Kids smell bad and they are covered with germs. How anyone could want to get closer than 100 feet to one is beyond me.

I think the larger issue in the West is decoupling sex and child bearing from marriage. From my family research, in the late 1800’s it was fairly common for girls to get married at 15. The idea was to marry them off as soon as they were able to reproduce so they didn’t start experimenting sexually and get into trouble, and since people didn’t live as long, the sooner they started having children, the better. This involved marrying them off to men who had completed their military service who would have been at least 22. Today a 22 year old male having sex with a 15 year old is in danger of getting charged with statutory rape in most of the U.S., but not in Europe.

There is a place for some academic discussion of such topics, but too often it’s homosexual men trying to justify their own obsession with per-pubescent boys. I certainly don’t support that, but people should understand how society has evolved.

Sick and evil beyond belief.

“researchers who study pedophilia say the term describes an attraction, not an action,” and that “using it interchangeably with ‘abuse’ fuels misperceptions about pedophiles.”

It IS abuse. The "action" that takes place when these creeps give in to their "attraction" leaves a trail of untold psychological effects on the child being abused. Many children enjoy the attention and this is what these creeps prey on. Trust. Many do not.
But the end of the tale, decades away, the victims will suffer.

But the child molesters do not care about that. Because when the chickens come home to roost and the victim is 20-30 years older, the diddlers have been on to various other children. They leave a trail of tears and issues they don't have to deal with.

They are animals that must be exposed and expunged.

Dr. Stephen Kershnar and the rest of his sick clan of pedo’s need to be silently swinging in the morning breeze from the end of a short rope.

Sick and depraved perverts.

Ethics professor? New York public universities have no ethics.

[gibsonguy]

Thank Justice Kennedy for legalizing gay marriage. The slide could have stopped there instead he gave it a push.

To define “ethics”, a culture must have a core consensus of reasonable, commonly held values. That consensus largely no longer exists. Pro abortion, pro drug use, pro homosexuality and all its perverse permutations, pro censors of speech and delusional people of all sorts can call themselves “ethicists”. They can even be appointed to professorships. It goes without saying that such people become politicians and clergy and consider themselves paragons of virtue.

Decent, rational people should be very suspicions and wary of people who proclaim to be “ethicists”.

[gitmo]

This ethics professor knows nothing about ethics.

"Kids smell bad and they are covered with germs. How anyone could want to get closer than 100 feet to one is beyond me."

Deranged much? Luckily, you aren't parenting material.

[dartuser]

Something about ... “God gave them over to a depraved mind” ...

[Perseverando]

Are the 153 “professors” and Walker all Muslims or just your average global elitist friends of Epstein/Clinton Commucrats?

[Chode]

and how bout the moral and ethical advantages of grinding them btwn two stones...

[Chode]

i wonder if any of the devices it used belonged to META?

if so, does this mean their own firewall allows going onto homosexual dating sites and talking to kids?

“Alyn Walker prefers the word “minor-attracted people” (MAPs) to “pedophile”
The power to name something (and have it picked up by the media) is the power to legitimize it. That’s why pro-lifers have called themselves pro-life for 50 years, but the MSM still calls them “anti-abortion.”
