GirlChat #599011
Rather, "children are sexy" was found in only 36% of the 42 posts demonstrating such cognitive distortions as "children are sexy" and "the world is a dangerous place for pedophiles". Only 2.45% of the month's posts demonstrated any of the five cognitive distortions searched for.
The author did suspend reality to repeat such howlers as "it is estimated that an average pedophile will offend against 360-380 children during a lifetime" which is attributed to "South Carolina Forcible Sex Crimes (1999). Summary, South Carolina Law Enforcement Division, Columbia, SC." I'm not sure where South Carolina Law Enforcement got this number from, but it reminds me of Gene Abel's incredibly bad "study" which has been debunked pretty thoroughly by Kristofor at BoyChat - and Abel only estimated 280 victims per boy lover (substantially less for girl lovers). Despite this and numerous other flaws, the author shows considerably more intelligence and honesty than a majority of the professional "researchers" on this topic. Her chief flaw seems to be an unwarranted trust and reliance on the fools who preceded her. |
