I once read this one article titled "CA Democrats Author Bill to Protect Sex Offenders Who Lure Minors" by Katy Grimes. It was poorly written, and even many of the posts in the comments section of this same article were just as intellectually bankrupt as the article itself.
After reading the title of my article above, you are probably wondering what exactly is a pedophile-panic fanatic, especially since I used that same term in a previous article of mine titled "Stop Blaming Teenage Girls' Problems On Older Men!" Well, allow me to elaborate on that curiosity further on herein.
In the comments section of Katy Grimes' above-aforementioned article, a Noneya stated:
First of all people are stupid if they think this is okay, Now as a parent , no child under the age of 18 should be having sex period, now if the child is having sex and its with a person older than 18 , if the parents feel the need to press charges its for a reason. Now i see it maybe 2 years difference but people we are talking about 10 years!!!!! Now a child of 14 (has no sense of what they are doing) can have sex with a 24 year old(grown adult) and it be okay and they dont have to worry about being considered a pedophile!!! Come on people this world is rotting more and more ans by allowing these type of laws , whats next that parents have no say in their kids life
Okay, Noneya. I completely get it. You're a helicopter parent who lives in the delusion that restricting your 14-year-old daughter to dating boys no older than 2 years her senior is going to turn her life into a bed of roses. However, you are obviously missing the bigger picture here.
First of all, how does it make any sense that a 14-year-old girl cannot consent to sexual relations with her 24-year-old boyfriend, whereas the American criminal justice system is striving to try as many 12-year-old boys and girls as adults for some of the most pettiest of offenses? We now live in an era where youngsters this age are being prosecuted as adults for having a squirt gun on them when they go to school.
A typical pedophile-panic fanatic like Noneya will insist that a 14-year-old girl cannot safely consent to sexual relations with her 24-year-old boyfriend, whereas these same pedophile-panic fanatics will cheer on police officers and prosecutors for successfully trying a 12-year-old as an adult and convicting that same youngster. How does it make any sense that if a 12-year-old boy or girl has the psychological wherewithal to premeditate a crime, a 14-year-old girl is completely out of touch with her actions whenever she chooses to have sexual intercourse with her 24-year-old boyfriend?
It's almost as though these pedophile-panic fanatics want to have their cake and eat it too. They are clearly incapable of critical thinking.
Second of all, Noneya has apparently never read the Fifth Edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders ("DSM-5"), because a 24-year-old man who has sexual intercourse with a 14-year-old girl would never be diagnosed as a pedophile in accordance with the DSM-5. Teenage sex has nothing to do with pedophilia regardless of whether it is intra-generational or cross-generational. Therefore, Noneya's opinion lacks validity altogether.
Third of all, Noneya is incorrect in her assertion that parents do have full say in whether their 14-year-old daughter's older boyfriend is to be arrested and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Yes, the parents can lodge a complaint against a 24-year-old man for having sexual intercourse with their 14-year-old daughter, but it is the District Attorney or the like who presses the charges. Once the police get involved in the matter, the parents cannot turn around and ask the authorities to drop the criminal charges against the 24-year-old man.
Noneya is not grounded in reality. She is clearly a pedophile-panic fanatic, because anyone with even half a brain would realize that there is a major difference between a sexually active 14-year-old girl having sexual intercourse with her 24-year-old boyfriend and a 79-year-old man luring a 3-year-old toddler off a playground to violate her sexually in every manner.
Also, a 24-year-old man who has sexual intercourse with a 14-year-old girl is not necessarily a sexual predator if he does not intend to harm the girl and she is well aware of what she is doing. Pedophile-panic fanatics simply don't want society to live in reality rather than in their make-believe world of age-appropriate perfection.
Each and every time that I read an ignorant post in a comments section like that of Noneya, I simply would like to haul Dr. Roni Cohen-Sandler and Lenore Skenazy into a shouting ring and have them both duke it out verbally with each other on how fair or unfair the statutory-age-of-consent laws are in the United States of America.
I absolutely dread the day that a 14-year-old girl gets charged with contempt of court for refusing to testify against her 24-year-old boyfriend in a statutory-rape case against him and the judge allows for that young girl to be charged as an adult. Then both the American criminal justice system and the court system will be reeking with hypocrisy.
Anyhow, just when I thought that I couldn't find a pedophile-panic fanatic in that above-described comments section who was any more of a dunce than Noneya, I came across Jacob at the very end of it. Therein he stated:
What an absolute tragedy that this law has passed. If you think for 1 second that a 16 yr old knows what theyre doing messing around with a 26 yr old you are completely disconnected to reality. And if you think that a 26 yr old having sex with a 16 yr old is somehow ok, youre actually insane in my book. You think that just because someone has a thought you feeling that its valid on the basis of nothing at all except that, they had a thought. How deluded can you get. It is absolutely telling that with sex trafficing being one of the biggest black market activities and now lawmakers are creating loop holes people perpetrating evil like this, that obviously theres more manipulation of public opinion going on here than the 26 yr old manipulating a minor into thinking they mean anything to them. There is one solution to pedophilia, and its moves at 1500fps.
No, Jacob. You're the one who is disconnected from reality and deluded. Moreover, your school of thought is very dangerous. Not only do 16-year-olds know exactly what they are doing when they have sexual intercourse with older partners, there are even people that age who have misused the statutory-rape laws to weasel their way out of a forcible rape charge involving an adult victim.
Read my article titled "Can Children Sexually Victimize Adults?," and you will clearly realize that teenagers can and do rape adults. Get your head out of the clouds, Jacob, because intelligent people like me are sick and tired of your aimless rhetoric regarding pedophilia.
What makes Jacob's misconception of what pedophilia really is dangerous is the fact that more and more underage boys are committing heinous sex crimes against adult women here in the United States and these poor women are being rendered vulnerable to our statutory-rape laws as described in Part 2 of my article titled "Should Hebephilia Be Reclassified As A Psychiatric Disorder?"
Jacob? Does your contention that men in their twenties are pedophiles for being with 16-year-old girls include accusing John Walsh of being one? When he was comfortably in his twenties, he was dating his wife, who at the time was only 16 years old. He's the co-founder of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.
Oh, wait a minute. John Walsh is likely your hero, Jacob, because every pedophile-panic fanatic idolizes him and his work with law enforcement. Therefore, nobody can accuse him of being a pedophile. Well, actually he is not a pedophile, but neither is a 26-year-old man who has sexual intercourse with a 16-year-old girl.
Jacob? You need to take whatever it is that launches an object that moves at 1,500 feet per second and aim it at your own head to spare us all the agony of listening to your intellectually bankrupt pedophile-panic propaganda. You clearly don't know what 16-year-olds are all about. There is a reason that many state jurisdictions in our nation set the statutory age of consent at 16 years old instead of 18 or 21 years old, and it has nothing to do with legalizing pedophilia.
Furthermore, pedophilia is already legal, because there is no law against the paraphilia itself but rather against someone acting on the paraphilia. The only thing that a 16-year-old has to do with pedophilia is that he or she is at the youngest age that a pedophile can be.
Pedophilia is the exclusive or primary attraction of an adult or adolescent 16 years of age or older to a pre-pubescent child five or more years that person's junior. Read your DSM-5, Jacob, so that you don't keep using the clinical terms "pedophilia" or "pedophile" as misnomers.
Jacob? I do agree that human trafficking is a problem here in our nation and worldwide. However, it is not all older men who are committing these crimes. Teenage boys are luring their teenage girlfriends into the sex-trade industry to be prostituted and sold also.
I realize that like the term "pedophile-panic fanatic," I may be the first person in the world to have coined the term "fake pedophilia." That is, fake pedophilia is the misguided assertion that an adult man is a pedophile merely inasmuch as he finds an adolescent girl to be physically appealing to him or she sparks a non-Platonic interest on his part.
Amelia Adams of 60 Minutes Australia did an investigative coverage of Elvis Presley's dating patterns. She interviewed women who had dated the King of Rock-and-Roll back when they were each 14 years old. Watch the video below.
Elvis Presley's Unconventional Love Life Didn't Make Him A Sexual Predator
Now, first of all, nowhere in this same video above does anyone mention that Elvis Presley did anything more than DATE 14-year-old girls from the time that he was in his early twenties to the time that he was in his early forties. He may have been a non-conformist, but it didn't necessarily make him a sexual predator.
Amelia Adams handled the reporting and the interviews poorly in that she continued to talk as though Mr. Presley had committed the crime of the century, when perhaps the worst thing he ever did upon dating these 14-year-old girls was perhaps bring them a bouquet of roses. No crime there.
The ultimate insult to injury that Ms. Adams commits against a musical celebrity who has been dead for over four decades is that she asked one of his former female suitors if she felt that he was a pedophile. Now, normally I would not bash any Australian for misusing that clinical term, because, after all, Australia has a 21 percent illiteracy rate, which is even higher than that of the United States and England. However, Ms. Adams is a journalist for a prestigious news series, and she is supposed to be educated on how to use such terminology. Therefore, she had no excuse for speaking ill of the dead and even defaming an icon of musical entertainment.
I found it entertaining when one of the interviewees stated that pedophilia did not exist back when she was 14 years old and dating a significantly older Elvis Presley. Actually, a psycho-shrink shyster named Dr. Richard von Krafft-Ebing coined the words "pedophile" and "pedophilia" back in 1886. However, this woman's statement is not completely without merit.
Mr. Presley died in 1977. Three years later the American Psychiatric Association ("A. P. A.") produced a full-text written definition of what pedophilia was in their periodical publication of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. From that point on, mental-health professionals who were reputable adhered to that same definition in diagnosing patients in that regard.
To the best of my knowledge, the words "pedophile" and "pedophilia" were not uttered on camera until the 1981 film titled Fallen Angel starring Richard Masur and Dana Hill was released shortly thereafter. If you watch television shows and movies from the 1970s and earlier, you will never hear anyone say the words "pedophile" and "pedophilia" unless a physician or a law-enforcement official appears in a scene and speaks.
Dr. Richard von Krafft-Ebing did society no favor in coining the terms "pedophile" and "pedophilia," because he had to have known that these words stood the strong chance of being used as misnomers. It gets me so angry whenever I think about it that I feel like pouring a bottle of caustic lie on Dr. von Krafft-Ebing's grave. Then again, a whole host of psychiatrists belong in the doghouse posthumously to this very day.
So what next? Are journalists going to start accusing actor Henry Winkler of being a pedophile for kissing teenage high-school girls on the lips in his role as The Fonz on reruns of Happy Days? In that role, Mr. Winkler clearly played a 20-something-year-old man and later on a 30-something-year-old man who was popular with high-school girls on Happy Days. However, never was he promoting pedophilia in that same role.
Like so many other Australian journalists, Amelia Adams is a pedophile-panic fanatic, and she is promoting fake pedophilia by pushing her agenda in her reporting techniques. If Ann-Margaret had been sitting across from her in an interview and Ms. Adams asked her if she thought of Mr. Presley as being a pedophile, Ann-Margaret probably would have punched her lights out right then and there.
In the comments section to the same news show above, the usual love fest of men-hating pseudo-feminists and, of course, your typical pedophile-panic fanatics came out of the woodwork. A YouTuber named hollyjean237 posted a comment that I found particularly annoying. Therein she stated:
The times weren't that different though. One of the Women's mothers thought it was weird and went on all their dates. Another's parents asked what a nearly 40 year old man wanted with their 14 year old daughter. The fact that he knew there was a line he could cross shows he knew it was wrong and did it anyway. There is a power imbalance between any child and adult and throw in celebrity and those girls who are children didn't stand a chance. He was making out with them. That is disgusting and the fact that you're defending this behaviour is too. He can be both talented and a creep. It sickens me when people defend celebrities as if they know their character personally instead of looking at the facts. You don't know him or what kind of person he was. You know who you want him to be. Listen to the facts. This isn't some new smear campaign. This has been known for a very long time and is why I refused to see the Elvis movie which conveniently left this out.
Oh, YouTuber hollyjean237? Mr. Presley merely took teenage girls out on dates to buy them a chocolate milkshake. If he shared any affection with them, it was completeley benign.
Mr. Presley wasn't some depraved deviant who went sticking his finger up some 3-year-old girl's vagina as your twisted mind apparently interprets the scenario. Mr. Presley was not a child groomer under any given standard except perhaps in these men-hating pseudo-feminists' deluded minds.
YouTuber hollyjean237? As for your point about power imbalances, shut up! You pseudo-feminists want older-man-younger-woman age-gap relationships to go away, but yet you have no problem with women practicing hypergamy.
Hypergamy is the reason that such age-gap relationships continue to exist. You cannot really have one without the other. You cannot have the chocolate-chip cookies without the chocolate chips, but it appears that YouTuber hollyjean237 wants it this way as so many other narrow-minded women like her do so. There is no truth in YouTuber hollyjean237's make-believe world of age-appropriate perfection.
YouTuber hollyjean237? You say that Mr. Presley knew that he was crossing a line. Well, don't you women always go after the bad boys? You want to go after bad boys, and then you want them to turn into saints once you have them wrapped around you. Make your minds up! Otherwise, shut up!
It seems as though many Australian women are as big of whiners as a large number of American women are. I'm not making generalizations, but there is clearly a problem with females in the United States and how they perceive reality or rather poorly perceive it.
Pedophile-panic fanatics are everywhere. Now, they are obsessing over celebrities who have been dead for decades. If you argue with any of them about a juvenile-justice-related matter, they will point the finger at you and accuse you of all sorts of horrendous things.
They proclaim themselves to be child advocates. However, if they were really child advocates, instead of slandering Elvis Presley, they would be waging war against parental testamentary freedom. Their actions upon society are more harmful than good.
We must learn how to recognize these pedophile-panic fanatics' propaganda whenever it confronts us. Their opinions do not matter to anyone who recognizes them for what they are.
