You’re a moron with projection issues. That’s the basic answer.
You have been answered time and again in this thread pointing out that this is not a MALE issue and you’re wrong to accuse all men of doing this. If you choose not to listen to this and call those people “pompous” and accuse them of having anger management issues, this only shows that the issue lies within you and you aren’t willing to see it. You’re the one with anger and hate issues and you’re projecting them on people who refuse to join into your hate fest.
Can you see how these 2 statements don’t reconcile? You can’t just say you want a thought provoking debate, you have to make thought provoking statements.
But to answer your question, ‘just say no to socially prescripted sex, even if it means you have to find a tree’ has pretty much failed throughout human history. Singling out one group for failing to do what humans have routinely failed to do is great for outrage, but not much for solutions. ‘Why do some people fixate on children and can we change that?’ is a useful question, but one that’s been frustratingly hard to answer, so not as much fun.
OTOH, we do lots of recreational outrage in the pit, so have fun but don’t be surprised if not everyone takes you seriously.
Then too, LadyMadonna is just another hate spewing troll giving us the same crap.
Make racist or hate filled post.
Get expected (for this board) lack of agreement.
Proclaim that s/he is just asking questions/ trying to have an honest debate, and what’s with all these pompous hate filled people who responded to an innocent question?
Didn’t read much of this, but I have something to say.
I hate children, always had, always will. They are noisy and greedy, ill-mannered psychos. The last thing I would do is to touch a kid in ‘that way’.
So this is what happened: I was biking on the countryside when I saw this kid maybe three-four years old on a lawn, no shirt, just shorts. No adults around and there was a few meters to a road, no ditch between. It occurred to Me that this toddler might easily wander off to the road and get run over by a car. So what to do? I got the hell out of there, no-one is going to see Me approaching a half-naked little kid.
It was a damn nightmare to wait the next day’s newspapers to see if there was a story about a little kid killed by a car.
So Ladymadonna and all Your kind, with that attitude You’re not helping anybody.
Listen, lady. I know that at least two posters in this thread have been sexually abused in their childhood, hence might know a thing or two that you don’t about this issue. Neither has been taking you seriously. That should tell you something about the value of the “thought provoking” content of your post.
I feel your pain. Awhile back I was in the local Barnes n Noble and this toddler’s wondering around, just tall enough to push the button for the elevator. It opens and he walks in, I look around for the adult, and see no one. I’m thinking, ‘no way I’m getting in with him alone, but what if he pushes the down button and gets off on another floor?’ So there I am, ex peds ICU nurse, current ER with a well deserved reputaion for establishing rapore with kids so I can finesse them through a painful or scary experience, leaning agaist the elevator door hoping the kid will wander back out before some nutcase lands on me.
Well, I know of a third. And I take myself seriously. People can avoid addressing this issue all they want. Wait until it happens to your kid, or your niece or nephew. You’ll be feeling differently about it then.
Child abuse (including sexual abuse) has been steadily decreasing for years. Yes, one is too many, etc., but we should be celebrating in the streets that it has decline by over a third!
If by that you mean we’ll be eager to return the counterproductive paranoia of the McMartin witch hunt days, most of us certainly hope not.
Tell me, what do you think we should be doing to address the problem?
While I understand the source of your anger, it is misdirected in this instance. And definitely uncalled for. I never stated that women don’t abuse (or assist in allowing abuse). But it’s a well known fact that the vast majority of sexual abusers of children are male.
