This is just stupid; essentially they are making a judgement on child sexuality and trying to force kids into a chaste society.
As someone who struggled with intimacy and other issues in my teens (aka the kind of environment these people are trying to foster) and I can tell you now: it's incredibly damaging
This is just knee-jerk reaction to a few people's distaste at overt sexuality in minors. It's damaging to the campaign against those who really are abusing minors.
- thewiglaf 17y agoMy theory is that the people with "distaste at overt sexuality in minors" are actually just uncomfortable with their own sexuality. For example, this Skumanick guy sees young girls at the beach in bikinis and is uncomfortable with the fact that he's sexually attracted to them. To me this is just part of our biology and it's not a big deal. But this guy is so insecure that he goes on a mission to make it be known that he does not approve of this behavior because to him the thoughts he's having about the girls at the beach are impure. He even goes so far as to say he's able to prosecute minors in bikinis at the beach. It's the same sort of situation with the article's reference to Mark Foley.
