Dogfighting In A 747

An F-14 is a jet and a 747 is a jet, therefore a 747 is a fighter.  That's what many people are saying when they say that homosexual = pedophile.

I'm all for hatin' on pedos.

They cause harm which lasts a lifetime to their victims and I really think that it should be a capital crime.

But there's a lot of confusion about gay = pedo.

This gets complicated because it isn't simple and can't be reduced to a nice simple pithy phrase.

On the surface it appears that most pedos are gay because most of their victims are same sex.

Aside: If you're going to conflate that pedo = homo then you're also going to have to conflate male = pedo because most pedophiles are men.

Something important to remember here is when someone is prepubescent, they don't have any secondary sexual characteristics.  It's that lack that makes them attractive to someone who can only be fixed by a slow feed rate into a wood chipper.

The reason that most pedos are going for same sex victims is access.  Men have more access to boys than girls.

It doesn't make them gay per se, homosexuals are attracted to POST-pubescent members of the same sex.

Pedophilia really is different from homosexuality.  Harmful.

The best analogy I've come up with is that two gay guys willingly going at it doesn't create a victim.  No traumatic experience for either participant.

Another Aside: What the DisneyLGBTQ crowd is pissed about is losing the ability to train the victims into thinking that what just happened to them isn't wrong.  Even without the grooming it's hard enough for a victim of molestation to come forward; especially with all the implantation of false memories which were all the rage in '90's which devalues a child's accusation today.

At the end of the day the Western Civ answer is still the best one.

Children, as minors, cannot make decisions for themselves which are in any way binding.  What choices they do get to make should be tightly observed and restricted by the people raising them so that they learn to make good decisions and learn HOW to make good decisions.

By 'cannot' I mean it in both senses of the word.  They are both forbidden by law and tradition from making binding decisions AND they are unable to make such decisions because they simply do not have the proper experience to make an informed decision.

Children dive for instant gratification without fail.

PS: That "huge uptick" in children claiming to be some form of LGBTQ?  It's more likely that they are being cued by their teachers and being rewarded for making such claims rather than actually feeling that way.  Some people keep forgetting that prepubescence also severely limits the kind of thinking they're trying to say is coming from a child.

PPS: I am grabbing most of my position from my dusty old psych books where I spent three years learning that I was not cut out to be a psychologist.  At the time it was unremarkable that a pedophile was doing evil even if they could not help themselves from doing it and that the proper response to it was harsh.  Shit like chemical castration being the most compassionate level of harsh.

PPPS: There's a whole other debate to have about statutory rape = pederasty.  Pederasty is malum in se, statutory rape is malum prohibitum.  While there's a victim, there's rarely trauma.  Someone who's through puberty is ready and willing to have sex; but probably shouldn't because of a lack of social experience needed to pick a good mate.  Older people (especially people with power over the victim) shouldn't be taking advantage of that lack of experience; so it's illegal.
