"I am SO going to puke."
I understand your reaction, it is also important to understand why Kinsey's language can be used as legitimizing the results. As putrid as it sounds, this is more an issue of advocacy and reception.
For example, it is true that children look to adults particularly when they are small for the appropriate reaction to pain. Think of small children who fall down, and immediately look up at the adult. Their reaction is halted, and does not reach fruition until the adult reacts. In that sense if you smile and say "great fall!", they will not cry....where as if you over react and look horrified, they will howl.
It is this rational, that is being used to prove that if an abused child were to receive positive accolades from an adult, the behavior would not necessarily immediately be received as a negative.
What needs to be repeated and reenforced is that it is the adults responsibility to protect children from both dangerous physical injury and dangerous psychological injury....and not misuse the excuse of moral equivalency in the reaction to the injury.

Molesting children....trauma based mind control....
all in the unholy name of "Science"
The Nazis in the death camps were not the only ones who could come up with such lofty words and describe their evil as nobel ideals
The sexual immorality of the 60s brought us the arbortion hollocaust of the 70's to our present days...
Hollywood reveals it's intent upon the America of our founders once again...
The hatred of our Christ the hatred of our founders and the hatred of our culture....
And we keep making them rich so they can pump our kids heads with more of their filth...and other lies...
Must have missed that one in Catechism class....
By then we'll be voting on DMA from the rooftops. They're not going to TOUCH my kids.

bump!
This is simply trying to let this animal Kinsey off the hook. This is what is printed in a related article:
infants as young as five months were timed with a stopwatch for "orgasm" by Kinsey's "technically trained" aides, with one four-year-old tested 24 consecutive hours for an alleged 26 "orgasms." from :
http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=41407 ^
Given that information Kinsey is a child molester by proxy at the very least! This monster must have told the molesters to use a stopwatch and write down what they were doing. People need to know this before they spend their money for another Hollywood love affair with a child molester!
A couple of points. First, people who pioneer a particular science or area of science aren’t perfect. Sigmund Freud was one of the most unscientific pioneers in a field of study; his conclusions usually lacked any research and were baseless hypothesis. Yet he is still regarded as the founder of modern psychology despite the fact his conclusions are largely ignored. Kinsey pioneered human sexual scientific research. That doesn’t mean that his research, methodology and conclusions are correct. It only means he was the first.
Some contend that attacking Kinsey is the same as attacking the science, which I disagree with. Peer review is a heartless process that crushes bad science. If you want to avoid scrutiny by your peers, you avoid peer review and just publish a book ( a practice still done today ). The science of studying human sexuality is commendable and needed. But making erroneous conclusions is the real crime.
The charges that he was a pedophile seem to confuse the nature of his research with his own sexual actions. Out of all the things I’ve read online, I’ve never seen a documented instance that proved that Kinsey sexually molested children. He did a host of other sexual acts, but molesting children wasn’t one of them. His used records of pedophiles to make poor conclusions. His adherence to medical ethics (using SS “research” )were deplorable. He is guilty of being a poor scientist, but the charges of pedophilia are ungrounded.
Michael Moore is pushing his F911 into every nomination category he is still eligible for (he passed the deadline on Best Documentary, in part so he could try to get a US broadcast, I suspect also so there was not further investigation in that Cuba state television broadcast).
In recent years, we had The Cider House Rules selling the abortion agenda in the pre-RoeV.Wade 1930s also get Oscar nominations.
The Silent Majority needs to tune out Hollywood's award ceremonies and films if this is "the best" propaganda they have to offer us. Nothing good from "other" perspectives.
In this year of the political documentary, how many Best Documentary Feature/Short will be an anti-Bush/Iraq War film???
Screw Hollywood before they screw America.
I've never heard anyone say these studies should not have been done. I have heard (and agree) that Kinsey should have conducted his studies more carefully with less bias. His studies indicate that 10% of the population is homosexual. No other study supports his conclusions in that arena.
I was suprised (and pleased) that the radio crime reporter on KFI (www.kri640.com)
mentioned his apprehension about the current film...
because of Kinsey's questionable investigations into pedophilia.
Well , thats the thing. Doing research on something doesn't mean you approve it. Lots of people are currently doing research on all kinds of horrible things like genocide, that doesn't mean the researcher condones the topic they are studing.
