I’ve gotta call bs on your #2. I would request evidence of this. There may be a correlation between homosexuals and pedophilia but there is evidence suggesting “most if not all” homosexuals are attracted to children.
I would even infer that most pedophiles are heterosexual males. Most gays are not pedophiles like most heterosexuals are not attracted to little girls.
“I’ve gotta call bs on your #2. I would request evidence of this. There may be a correlation between homosexuals and pedophilia but there is evidence suggesting “most if not all” homosexuals are attracted to children.”
I have to start my reply by noting that the propaganda of the SSAD activists has gotten you a little confused.
Attraction to people between puberty and maturity is *not* pedophilia. Pedophilia is attraction to children who have not yet reached puberty. These are two separate things.
The SSAD activists like to confuse these things, because pedophilia is in fact a different disorder.
If they can get people to accept that pedophilia is a different disorder, then mislead them into thinking that attraction to youths (ephebophilia) is pedophilia, then they can claim that men with SSAD are not attracted to youths because they are not pedophiles.
You see the logical disjunction there, right?
Ephebophilia is generally defined as the adult sexual preference for mid-to-late adolescents, generally ages 15 to 19. However, reason requires that it be extended backward to puberty, because pedophilia only extends forward to puberty.
So you see that pedophilia is entirely irrelevant to what I am saying.
“Most gays are not pedophiles”
That is true. However, they are ephebophiles, and this has been known for all of recorded history.
BTW, it wouldn’t be odd if there were numerically more pedophiles among the 98% of the population that is heterosexual than among the 2% afflicted with SSAD. However, the *rate* of sex crimes against people who have not reached the age of consent is much higher among men with SSAD. In fact, that 2% commits roughly one-third of all such crimes.
At least, that was true before they stopped reporting those statistics. It’s probably much higher now.
