Whenever the police bring in a suspected pedophile for an “interview” (interrogation), a standard question is: “What do you think should be done with child molesters?” The answer tells them whether they are guilty.
“Tie them down in the road, run over them with cars, burn the body and shoot the ashes out into space” = not guilty.
“They need counseling and treatment” = guilty.
I suspect the author of this piece is a pedophile.
Rueful laugh. You could be right: the author himself might have a predilection.
But the people who think, oh heck, my grandmother married at 15 (mine did at 16) are missing the point. Grandpa asked for her father’s permission. Anyone committing sex with a young teen today KNOWS it’s wrong yet chose to indulge himself at her expense.
And the example I gave, very true and current, is that the lust for the forbidden youngster can GROW. Grow worse. Sex with a 14 year old can be a gateway to sex with a 9 year old. And on down the ages.
