Technically this was addressed to Danielle, but they haven't answered it yet, and the claims are just so blatantlly hand-waving, that I have a very hard time believing that you want to follow "logic" ethang.
Studies show there are two types of child molesters: fixated and regressive. The fixated child molester — the stereotypical pedophile — cannot be considered homosexual or heterosexual because he often finds adults of either sex repulsive, and often molests children of both sexes.
Bolderdash. A heterosexual man would find any sexual contact with another male, regardless of age, repulsive. I call bs on this study.
That's an appeal to ignorance if I've ever seen one, the entire point of the study is to establish that pedophiles are separate from homo or heterosexuals in their sexual attraction, gender isn't the concern there, age is. Something that might help you understand - Sapiosexuality is the sexaulity that deals with people finding high levels of intelligence sexually attractive, just people with high intelligence is the measure, not gender at all. Just like pedophiles, they don't care about the gender of the person, while pedophiles are interested in children, sapiosexuals are interested in people of high intelligence. This isn't me being patronizing, this is me legitmately trying to explain things, I know its a little bit abstract whenever you yourself are viewing things as, presumably, a heterosexual. And your only frame of reference is as one, but this is an entirely different sort of sexuality.
Regressive child molesters are generally attracted to other adults, but may "regress" to focusing on children when confronted with stressful situations.
More bs. Many, many otherwise "normal" adult guys would sleep with a physically mature 16 year old female if they could get away with it. It has nothing to do with regression or stress.
Let's just note here, all of your arguments are built on assumptions with no citations, they are all also built on generalizations. I know adults who have been visibly disgusted with the idea of sleeping with a teenager of their preferred gender. The funny thing, this guy isn't the best at lying, he's not atrocious or anything, but anyone who knows him could tell that the reaction was genuine. Because some people realize that kind of thing is manipulative and wrong, especially the older you get. I would implore that you provide some actual logic behind your assertions, before, asserting them. Danielle has an actual study that has been peer reviewed backing up their words, what do you have?
Researchers found that the majority of regressed offenders were heterosexual in their adult relationships. The Child Molestation Research & Prevention Institute reports that 90% of child molesters target children in their network of family and friends, and the majority are men married to women.
Word play. The majority of pedophiles ARE men, and the majority of men ARE married to women.
Um... that has nothing to do with it, the point is that the vast majority of pedophiles are married to women. That was the point. Even if we ignore Danielle's phrasing and use yours - "The majority of pedophiles ARE men, and the majority of men ARE married to women" we come to the exact same result, that the vast majority of pedophiles are married to women, and the study (which you have failed to address seriously once) draws a distinction between their sexuality. I understand that the entire idea makes you uncomfortable, it makes me uncomfortable too, that isn't an excuse to dismiss the research because you don't understand it.
Most child molesters, therefore, are not gay people lingering outside bathrooms waiting to snatch children or whatever other nonsense the far-right peddles to fear monger and scare ignorant people that are easy to trick.
More deceptive word play. Male child molesters who molest boys ARE gay. We know most child molesters are not gay, because most men are not gay.
This is just incorrect, as noted above, the vast majority of pedophiles are interested in either gender, the gender doesn't actually matter, but that the person is a child. That is the distinction, sexually speaking, for a pedophile according to the research. Let's use a heterosexual man as an example: James is walking down the street, and coming down the path opposite him, is a pretty woman. He is sexually attracted to that person because she is female. If we switch out the heterosexual man out with a pedophile, and the woman out for a child, that pedophile would be attracted, not because of gender, but because of their age as a child. Again, this is abstract and not something people like to think about, but that is not an excuse to use your blatant homophobia.
Instead most pedophiles are people who seem normal and trustworthy; that is why parents do not suspect anything and give them access to their children.
Most child molesters are easy to figure out if the parents paid attention and weren't fooled by insipid political correctness that tries to cancel reality. Most children are never molested. Molesters look for children of poor, uneducated, uninterested parents with loopy progressive ideas about parenting.
Do you have any evidence for anything you're saying? Everything you claim here seems to be built on a bias against progressive ideas, in "canceling reality" as a progressive, I'm actually not the biggest fan of the whole "cancel" rhetoric. Not to mention, you are also biased on what you think reality is, the entire rhetoric you are using is what racists use to claim whenever "progressives" said that black people were human. Its what sexists said whenever people finally let women vote, its what homophobes said whenever gays were finally allowed to marry, and its what transphobes said whenever trans people were allowed to actually exist. You seem explicitly and implicitly bigoted and biased.
But I digress. I hope you find it in your heart to do some
research and accept that your beliefs about gay men are totally invalid and predicated on bigotry and discrimination that is not substantiated by the facts.
I don't subscribe to PC nonsense, and I never allow it to cancel reality I see before my eyes. Gay men are just like straight men. That is how I know them. They are no more honest or saintly than straight men. And homosexuality, like heterosexuality, is nothing to be cheered, or congratulated. It does not bestow virtue. It just is.
Uh huh, your entire rhetoric doesn't agree with this, it shows that you are biased against them.... well that or you just dismiss all studies with a hand wave whenever they reach conclusions you don't agree with. Your framing of this whole issue does not at all imply what you said. Also... I would definitely say that if it was illegal for you to show your sexuality, which you have admitted here there is nothing wrong with being gay, where you could be hung for being gay for centuries, then yes - you absolutely should celebrate being able to actually express that sexuality. The whole "PC nonsense" as you call it, is trying to protect people who need it, not pedophiles. Its to protect mentally lagging children and adults, who have been oppressed and abused with words like "ret**ded" and its used to make sure that people who treated black people as literal property can't use the word they used to declare them so. Its to make sure that words that were screamed at gay men as they were hung at the literal stake, can't be used.
