Is it controversial to state that not all paedophiles are molesters?
- Auracle 5y agoI just looked it up. They advocated changing the terminology to “minor-attracted persons/people.” I agree with the critics in that seems like a way to destigmatize pedophiles, but I also think our current policies on pedophilia do nothing but force them underground. If the end goal is to prevent children getting molested, we need to somehow break down the barrier of treatment. I don’t know much about this, but I would think that treatment would be medications that suppress their sex drive. I guess I would personally advocate a way for those medications to be taken anonymously. That’s neither here nor there, of course. Free speech isn’t free speech if it isn’t absolute, and as long as there was a good argument with the above I would think it would be welcome at this university. Apparently not, though.
