I know it’s fashionable to view the Victorians as horribly repressed perverts who did their dark deeds out of sight, but allow me to give you my perspective:
I believe that the public morality is always higher than private morality. It has been said that hypocrisy is the homage vice pays to virtue. If society sets very high standards, people will still commit sins, but they will – in the aggregate - be less serious. That’s why in the 50’s school discipline problems centered on gum chewing and running in the hallways, whereas today it’s about armed assault and sex acts in the classroom.
Were we more repressed in the 1950s? Surely. Was that a bad thing? You have to decide, but I know which way I vote. Did the teenager in the 1950s get “into trouble?” Yes. Did they knock their classmates up at the rate they are doing today. Nope. When girls got into trouble did they go away, or get married and have a pre-mature baby? Yes. Did we have classes for pregnant high schoolers who have no plans to marry? No. In the long run, which time period made it easier for youngsters growing up – and their offspring?
What a bunch of junk science.
"In a recent lead article of the Journal of Homosexuality1, for example, Harris Mirkin says the "sexually privileged" have disadvantaged the pedophile through sheer political force in the same way that blacks were disadvantaged by whites before the civil-rights movement"
and, yes, i agree he even looks like a perp. What a twisted individual. Those "sexually privileged" wouldn't happen to be the parents of the offspring he's attempting to screw would it?
"Homosexuality has become so accepted in the past 20 years, pedophilia is the next to be accepted then beastiality."
"Pedophilia Chic" Reconsidered - The taboo against sex with children continues to erode
Oh, please! My kids can't consent to going out for a popsicle without my permission. As if they can consent to sex! BARF
Children cannot consent because they are much weaker, physically and emotionally. They don't have the moral authority to make that type of decision for themselves.
I knew this was going to be an interesting discussion. Believe it or not I don't feel that we were repressed in the '50's. And,I guess I'm agreeing with your point here--there were standards in the school, in the workplace and in public. All of society was better for having those standards--we didn't worry about someone bringing a gun to school, shooting us on the street corner or the myriad of things that make our daily lives fearful.

On Positive Reports of Adult-Child Relationships: Taking a Closer Look
There is a special place in Hell for the people who are pushing for acceptance of pedophilia. God help us.
I love how they remind us that Liberal, God and religion haters have made premarital and homosexual sex seem normal. And what has such normalcy brought us? Aids, epidemic STDs, abortions, and who knows what other evils.
Actually there is some merit to this particular part. I do think that children, who have been found to have been molested (not repeatedly) and are rushed into treatment and told that their life will be a living hell from then on, will suffer more from the treatment than the actual molestation. Kids are somewhat more resilient than moder psychologist seem to give them credit for. However, this, in no way, excuses molestation. It is still vile and immoral.
