Re: Never mind mods ....

If a child's 'yes' is disavowed, then their 'no' is meaningless. They learn that they have no real power over their bodies. They learn sex is always something secretive (and therefore shameful). And on and on.

Moreover, this lack of choice for children convinces pedos that they need not even seek consent. Makes sense: if consent is either not recognized by law; or if philosophically it is denied that consent exists (as Lee does), why even try to obtain it?

Nope. If the origins of pedophilia are genetic, then destroying what occurs naturally will be no different than eliminating blacks, or Jews, or whatever. I[t] would tantamount to genocide.

And?

If, however, it is caused by environment, then the exact cause will never be eliminated because environment cannot be controlled to that extent.

I thought you believed in Anthropogenic Global Warming?

In either case, I do think neither of us three will live to see that point fully expressed.
