The way this actually works:

Dependent variable: number of little girls being raped by pedophile rapists

Independent variable: number of pedophile rapists

Mediating variable: posited conditions (legalization of consensual intergen sexual conduct)

Outcome: decrease in number of little girls being raped by pedophile rapists (my prediction).

The way you think it:

Dependent variable: number of little girls being raped by pedophile rapists

Independent variable: posited conditions (legalization of intergen sexual conduct)

Mediating variable: *?!*posited conditions (legalization of intergen sexual conduct - "reframed" as proof of non-consent required)*?!*

Outcome: increase in number of little girls being raped by pedophile rapists (your prediction).

Why you think that way:

- Unexplained interchangeable usage of "man", "pedophile rapist", and "pro-contact girl-lover" in thought process.

I.e. man = pedophile rapist; ∴ pedophile rapist = pro-contact girl-lover.

(I'm assuming of course that the default active pedophile is obviously a pro-contact girl-lover.)

.... Is what I think is going on here.
