Look, I'm not advocating for any particular group. This is not political. I just want to say, you cannot remove pedophilia without removing sex from humanity. Pedophilia is established in all the great societies. You simply cannot remove sex from the closeness of families and the developmental nature of childhood, because adults are sexual and they developed from children themselves. To say the world should be removed of pedophilia is like saying we should remove human hunger for sugar or fatty foods. Sex really is that fundamental to our souls and our developments.
They do research on this, there's probably tens or hundreds of millions of people attracted to children in the western world alone. Virtually everybody probably has some attraction to children. I think it's universal. An astonishingly, astonishingly low number of people create a crime from their desires. And the research is clear again... you do not have to be a pedophile to sexually harm a child or an adult. There's no connection between attraction and hurting others. You will find plenty of people who harm others their own age range, who harm others the "right orientation."
The pedophile thing is a total fucking societal hysteria, mostly to the level of constant moral panic because it's own inhabitants feel the desires themselves. I think this is an OCD-panic thing. There's absolutely no reason somebody with a taboo attraction should be separate from others. If we did that for a 'pedophile', we'd do it for damn near anybody. Ever wanted to punch your neighbor in the face? Smash out a car window? Steal? Get a promotion at the expense of somebody else? Bang your neighbor's wife or husband? Oh God no, you're the scum of the Earth, we better cast you away forever!
I would never personally harm a child, I don't believe children and adults should have sex in real life, and I don't follow my desires for children, but all be dammed if people with attraction to children are somehow special, violent or tainted. This is all superego self-policing. I'd think reading more about history and other cultures could help dispel this and see it as a universe human condition outside of the modernity's moral panic about it.
Pretty much everybody's sex is taboo in some way, just maybe not this specific taboo, but children is virtually damn near the universal taboo.
Can you get past your front-door judgments and address what exactly makes a minor attracted person such a shameful, isolating and terrible condition?
