Rosa Brooks: No Escaping Sexualization of Young Girls With JonBenet back in the headlines, it's hard for a parent to avoid paranoia. August 25, 2006
IT'S BEEN a good week for the media, and a bad week for parents.
The arrest of former schoolteacher John Mark Karr in the slaying of child beauty queen JonBenet Ramsey launched a flurry of excited stories about pedophiles, child abduction and murder. The cable news stations could hardly hide their glee, and even the New York Times joined in.
In a two-part series on pedophilia, the newspaper reported that many pedophiles now use Internet support groups to swap how-to tips on getting jobs as camp counselors and teachers. Increasingly, the Times said, "pedophiles view themselves as the vanguard of a nascent movement seeking legalization of child pornography and the loosening of age-of-consent laws. They portray themselves as battling for children's rights to engage in sex with adults ."
Great. For anxious parents, it was a week of being paranoid and creeped out a week to double-check the....
In a culture in which the sexualization of childhood is big business mainstream mega-corporations such as Disney earn billions by marketing sexy products to children too young to understand their significance is it any wonder that pedophiles feel emboldened to claim that they shouldn't be ostracized for wanting sex with children? On an Internet bulletin board, one self-avowed "girl lover" offered a critique of this week's New York Times series on pedophilia: "They fail, of course, to mention the hypocrisy of Hollywood selling little girls to millions of people in a highly sexualized way."
....we should worry a whole lot more about good old-fashioned American capitalism, which is busy serving our children up to pedophiles on a corporate platter.

Yes that's another of their methods. Then there was that thing in Afghanistan where the old rich men had young boys with them. They had some name for them that would have translated to "bitch" here. Then there was the "prison" of young boys that were "political" prisoners. The prison was really a sex slave house. Now, I saw this on TV and on the intenet, I don't have proof, but it is just really easy for me to believe.
Better than "Burka"...always look on the bright side of life...
If you really can't see the difference between sex with two consenting adults and an adult and a child having sex - then you are being purposely obtuse.
Behold, I [Jesus] come as a thief. Blessed is he who watches, and keeps his garments, lest he walks naked, and they see his shame. Revelation 16:15
There is a push among some gay men to 'remove the stigma' of sex with children. Gag, I could hardly type that without wanting to vomit. Their national group is called Nambla.
What makes pedophilia worse (not one bad, one good) is that the children can't protect themselves from their predators (and these freaks are predators), but adults (not teens) are free to make their own choices, even questionable choices. And if laws are broken, then they are free to face the consequences.
Indeed. I wonder what his older children know? What broke up his first marriage and if these kinds of police suspicions had anything to do with it? The Ramseys struck me as the kind of couple where he was into it and she wasn't but went along for whatever reason. I can't imagine what life must be/have been like for JonBenet's older brother, wasn't he 9 or 10 at the time, if any of these police 'suspicions' are true. And now he's lost his mother, as well. Seems tragedy still follows them.
"There is a push among some gay men to 'remove the stigma' of sex with children. Their national group is called Nambla."
Fortunecookie and Youngman, you've got it.
Also, note in the article: "....the newspaper reported that many pedophiles now use Internet support groups to swap how-to tips on getting jobs as camp counselors and teachers."
There have been scads of news reports on teachers molesting kids in schools the past year or two.
And what started out as sex ed for heterosexuals in the public schools has now moved into sex ed teaching about homosexuality, bisexuality and transgender too.

Wake up, sheeple.
If enough people pulled their kids out then things would change because they would be forced to respond to market forces.
You nail it. Homosexual 'marriage' opens the door to any kind of relationship the mind can conjure, from polygamy and polyandry to bestiality, pedophilia, whatever.
But that will just bring this stuff out into the open. When I was a young boy I was hassled by Boy Scount troop leaders, teachers and a priest -- and that was in the late 40s in Idaho. The "Pedophile Grapevine" has been operating forever in some fashion. The internet just makes it quicker, bigger and a whole lot more efficient.
There, I fixed your post.
Or incest, bestiality, prostitution, etc.
Don't forget - way more heterosexuals engage in sodomy than homosexuals. Experts say that 10% of hetereosexual couples engage in anal sex. 60% of homosexuals do also - but homosexuals are only 2% of the population - so you've got 1.2% of the population engaging in homosexual anal sex and 9.8% of the population engaging in heterosexual anal sex.
My point is that sex is meant for a husband and wife. Everything outside of that isn't anything good, even if it is "between two consenting adults."
