While I agree we shouldn't dress little girls provacitivly, I don't think pedophiles prey on those girls any more than ones dressed like little girls. After all...they want little girls because they are little girls, not adults. As far as rape, I thought everyone knew that rape is about violence, not sex.

No, everyone doesn't know that. There are a number of motives for rape including sex and dominance. Rape is not a crime committed just to be "violent", although violence is often part of rapes committed for sex, dominance and even revenge.

I respectfully disagree with this particular broad brush.

Rape is about power, always has been, the violence is a byproduct of that quest for power, and to find out who pedophiles target, we can ask them........and they do have serious problems that bother us when they give their answers.
