re: 'advancing the cause'

But I don't have faith that others would respect them like I would. I just can't get behind changing social attitudes about pedophilia - I'm too worried about the girls. The healthy outlets you mention sound much safer. It still seems like I am the wrong thinker, not you.

Coming up on Alice Day and I don't feel much like 'advancing the cause'.

To me, "the Cause" consists of more than just one issue. If one doesn't believe in lowering the AoC, maybe one could focus instead on advancing the cause by promoting greater acceptance for people like us, who are attracted to young girls, and hated by society for it. Promoting more humane treatment of pedophiles, etc.
