No dark secret whatsoever. But can you honestly say that abnormal sexual behavior should not be studied? Some of these abnormal behaviors really are psychological problems that can be treated. If the person can be brought back to normality through therapy or medication, I am all for that! Just because something is wrong doesn't mean it isn't worth researching, primarily for the goal of righting the wrong.
Under your strategy we would just say, "They have cancer? Well, I guess it's inevitable they're going to die. No sense studying it." Geez!
Studying pedophilia legitimately is not what Kinsey did.
Mengele also did research. Was that legitimate?
If you want to remain either ignorant, or stir up trouble by pretending that you are neutral, that's your business. But you're transparent, you're no more conservative than I am from Kentucky.
Well, you've had plenty of time to study up on Kinsey, and plenty of time to post comments on FR.
What's your verdict? You tacitly supported him by claiming neutrality, now what do you have to say about him?
