where on earth do you feel like pedophilia has become more acceptable?
seriously... can anybody talk about facts and stop the brain wanking?
My point was more about how society (particularly in Europe, but also in many other regions around the world) is opening up in general, although on a more specific note it could be pointed out that in Europe adult-child sexual relationships have become a subject of academic research and discourse (e.g. Sandfort) and that children are in general becoming more openly sexualized (e.g. the marketing of padded swimsuits and make-up to pre-pubescent girls).
Not to mention, of course, that in many countries the marriage of female children to adult men is still commonplace in 2016. Countries with an Islamic culture spring to mind, although a colleague of mine whose family are Indian said that when her grandparents married her grandfather was 20 and her grandmother was 13.
well yes, sorry there are all the countries where marriage can happen extremely young, even prepubert, being in africa or in asia, due to family agreements. I wouldn't really call it pedophilia though, because the groom didn't necesairly choose to be married with a prepubert/extremly young girl; or he can also wait a few years before having sex with his wife until she's pubert.
I'm on my work laptop so I'm not going to Google examples to disprove you, but I highly doubt all those husbands go
'she's only 13, better leave that one to mature for 5-6 years'. Plus, we are talking about the legalization and social acceptability of adult-child relationships, not the amount of people who actually act upon the legalization. So the point here is that in many countries such relationships are legal and accepted.
It's more of a tradition/culture issue rather than a true deviant behaviour.
Well, yes. Behaviors are only considered 'deviant' in societies where they are outlawed or otherwise unaccepted. In many countries adult-child marriages are considered deviant, in others they are considered not deviant. The discussion at hand in this thread is, at what point will adult-child relationships stop being considered deviant in places such as Europe?
What is really scrary is what some parents are willing to do with their kids to get a few bucks in thailand or other third world countries wheresome perverts take advantage and go on sex tours to f*ck kids.
Good point. There are who industries built around pedophilia in many countries, notably in SE Asia. Also worth noting that their business models are sustained almost entirely by the money of North American and Western European clients, so there is clearly a demand for it in the developed world.
But I absolutely don't agree about europe. At least in southern europe... A pedophile is seen at least as horrible as a serial killer or a terrorist. An adult fucking a prepubert... that's kind of the worse thing a person can be accused of.
For now. It wasn't so long ago that homosexuals and Jews were reviled across Europe, and they've both done a good job of breaking down those walls.
