"Easy for someone who fits and therefore supports most of those norms to say"

In case you hadn't noticed, I'm a pedophile. Pedophiles are not particularly liked in the United States. Even less liked than hebephiles.

And pedophiles are pretty much the only class that is virtually universally discriminated against in the United States today. Many groups are unpopular in some areas, but they also have places where they are the majority and in power.

You might be right. On the one hand, we have discussed this frequently enough that it gets a bit repetitive to point it out repeatedly - and as qtns has pointed out, let the Antis be the ones who are constantly thinking about rape, not us. But we do have to bear in mind that some of our readers are not familiar with things that to us are commonplace.
