Normalizing pedophilia: Abolishing the age of consent
LifeSiteNews ^ | 11-12-13 | Jacqueline Laing

Posted on 11/13/2013 6:57:44 PM PST by ReformationFan

After certain press criticism and a productive online backlash in the blogosphere, the American Psychiatric Association (APA) is performing a gratifying volte-face in its use of the term sexual "orientation" for paedophilia.

In its fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), the APA has distinguished between paedophilic disorder and paedophilic orientation. Paedophilia-advocacy groups, like B4U-ACT, a grassroots lobby group, have long seen the declassification of paedophilia to the status of an "orientation" for “minor-attracted persons" (MAPs) to be a necessary means to their ends. The North American Man-Boy Love Association (and numerous international affiliates advocating sex between men and boys) see these and other developments as an important step towards their continuing objective of legalising and normalising paedophile activity.

In response to the online critique, the APA has confirmed in the last few days that the DSM will be altered and that "it stands firmly behind efforts to criminally prosecute those who sexually abuse and exploit children and adolescents."

Whatever the recent anxieties that have caused editors of the DSM to have a sudden rethink, efforts to abolish the age of consent have a long, though not so venerable, history. In 1977 around 70 French intellectuals signed a petition seeking the abolition of all age of consent laws. Michel Foucault in his History of Sexuality reports that these included himself and Helene Althusser, Louis Althusser, Jean-Paul Sartre, Simone de Beauvoir and André Glucksmann, Roland Barthes, Guy Hocquenghem, the jurist Jean Danet, filmmaker Alain Robbe-Grillet, writer Philippe Sollers, pediatrician and child psychoanalyst Françoise Dolto and many others.

Who didn’t see this coming on the back of “gay marriage?”

Morals are just suggestions in today’s world.

The true degenerate phobia is of those feeling rejected because they cannot molest another.

I think we should just all promise ourselves as conservatives, that if we wake up tomorrow and CW V 2.0 has started and everything’s down including the internet, that these pedophilia groups will be hunted down like animals.

It was predicted by many — and denied vociferously by the perverts and Pinkos.

We on FR all saw this coming — but that it is coming so soon is absolutely shocking.

Start making a list of names and addresses, because it won’t be possible once the Internet is down.

I predict a run on shovels.

It has been my observation that although not all homosexuals are pedophiles a large percentage of pedophiles are homosexual.

The two are closely related for some reason. If you doubt me then can you tell me how many priests were accused of molesting little girls?
