It’s sick to be sexually attracted to children, even if you don’t act on it.
Don’t disagree, but do you look for a way to prevent it, or just have to wait until they act on it. I see the danger of normalization, but it doesn’t seem she is advocating that at all. And sadly, that effort (normalization) exists today anyway.
I agree that it’s sick, and it seems like she does as well. She’s just saying that it isn’t criminal unless you act on it, which is correct.
“Its sick to be sexually attracted to children, even if you dont act on it.”
Define ‘children’.
I ask because the left often seems to define ‘children’ as being anyone 25 or younger when they talk about children and gun deaths.
But what’s a ‘child’ when we talk about physical attraction?
A good number of people on this site will have ancestors from the past two hundred years who were married as young as 13 and that was accepted as ‘normal’ up until World War Two.
So how do we define children and will we apply that definition consistently or just when it suits the particular narrative we’re discussing?
Figure out that issue first and then it will be easier to enforce laws against child molestation regardless of what agenda the leftists are pushing.
THIS.
Salon magazine insists that you can be virtuous as a pedophile. So do their readers.
Agreed. It is clearly a mental maladjustment to be sexually attracted to the pre-pubescent.
But there seems to be a lot of confusion and conflating on these subjects.
