"What, are we comparing the 70's to now?"

Something wrong with that? Actually, I was thinking more of the 50s, though.

It isn't going to help lower the age of consent "You a betting man?"

No, since I'm a woman. But I do enjoy Vegas or Atlantic City once in a while. And I'd bet that removing pedophilia as a disorder will NOT make people think it's ok for adults to have sex with children.
