In addition to the misuse of ‘pedophilia’, they also proclaim with an air of authority that, ‘of course, all sex offenders will reoffend’.
Sadly, researchers have found that when people in the general public with very misguided and harsh impressions of sex offenders are presented with massive factual study data, they say that it does not tend to change their minds. SO’s are all monsters, lock them up and throw away the key, and keep the registries.
Perhaps we should propose expanding the registry to include ALL felony convictions and DUI’s. But this would ensnare many attorneys, politicians and judges. In Colorado, the first three DUI’s are misdemeanors, becoming a Felony 4 on the fourth conviction! The offender gets three shots at severely maiming and killing people before facing a felony charge. Justice or revenge?

Seeing how our founders would have never supported this. And it is not based in history, these kinds of laws have only been on the books the last few decades and even the whole principles for why the laws are on the books have only been in existence in our country for about the last 70 years. If the conservatives are going to be using that ruling to go after gun laws, shouldn’t have progressive side use the same ruling in there support?

I doubt anyone in their right mind would ever say an attraction to a baby is normal. Which is dang near everyone that is still prepubescent. I don’t think anyone would ever try to push that as a norm. At the same time, I could see how attraction to pubescent kids could be seen as a norm by some but only because it was a norm for all of history except for this last 70 or so years. Even those in power that would never admit it. Instead, they just get on a jet to a private island and participate in without repercussions…… Y’all know what I’m talking about. That is not me promoting it, simply stating facts. I think that is the reason why they use the term pedophile to reference every sex offenses and every sex offender. Because no one will ever see pedophilia as a norm. If they spoke about it in real terms, I think they understand that they would not have the general support that they have now. And without that support the laws that they push on us would never stand.

Jeremy,

MAP = Minor Attracted Person = Attracted to Anyone below 18 years of age.
Pedophile = People who are attracted to prepubescent children.

These are not the same thing.

California is not this restrictive, but I remain cautious in social interactions. Many of us, registrants and non-, have parts of ourselves tucked away, parts that may or may not be sexually related. When the media hammers out words that trigger a part, we retreat in fear. May our media more carefully and compassionately choose words.

Epstien was never a pedophile, and neither were any of the people who went to his stupid island. The youngest “victim” was 14, and a lot of these girls I’ve read went on to live normal successful lives.

Yes, words matter and this is one shining perfect example of the media influenceers gas lighting the word pedophilia to make any underage sexual activity automatically fall into the catagory of being committed by predatory “pedophiles”. Noone likes child molesters, so now 14-16 yr olds are now helpless prepubescent children. I challenge anyone to head over to your local high school and ask all the students who identifies as a prepubescent child.

Thank You Charlie for this clear explanation……and thank you about the ‘arm’ chair judges because there are so many of them!

Hopefully others will read your explanation…..like all of Sandy’s ones!

Pedophilia is used for individuals with a primary or exclusive sexual interest in prepubescent children aged 13 or younger.
As one who claims to be a pedophile, I do not see this term inaccurately describing my mental illness. The article was correct in saying not all pedophiles commit crimes. I just want to point out that the true meaning of pedophilia does not connotate a terrible person. If we as a society can see this as a mental illness and treat those who suffer from it with dignity, it would go a long way to ensure the safety of our children.

It can change our opinions and beliefs and fears which will make us want our laws and policies to change for all the wrong and unfair reasons. How then can we say we are a truly just system if we continue to allow this to happen without any repercussions. After all they are now the offenders. Maybe they should go to Jail.

It’s in everything we see and hear everyday but no one wants to talk about it. These outdated laws (mostly from the 90’s during the get tough on crime era) nobody wants to even speak of overhauling them. That would be the equivalent of commiting political suicide. If our leaders knew someone or has themselves been through the S.O.R ringer, they’d know what a crock of crap all this is. Maybe they do and don’t care. Who knows. After all, people get elected off it.
