…BC Post…
Politics are not about truth, nor who is right and who is wrong. I learned this from the fundamentalist christian right, and their behavior.
No…politics are about “superior” classes, who is allowed to speak and who is not allowed to talk at all.
Rind, Bauserman…these men are a lightning bolt for fundamentalist venom, because they dared to break the deafening silence…and say something, which bucked a system, built, put in place and guarded, by very influential and threatening associations, who hate that humans are sexual.
What we are seeing here, is the same thing which occurred with Kinsey, who has been getting his name dragged through the mud, endlessly, by fundamentalist zealots who are still pissed off at him for being a catalyst in the sexual revolution.
Always be mindful of where you collect your information from. It is fine, and even well advised, to get perspectives from those who have identified themselves as our enemies…
…But understand this first…
…For our enemies, “telling the truth”, is a very loosely applied virtue.
They have an agenda…and that agenda, is trying to keep human sexuality caged, as much as they can.
“Telling the truth”, is a very common casualty wherever it gets in the way of fundamentalist zealot agendas.
In short, I would not trust Ms. Slater…The title of her book, alone, tells me that it is likely to be no more than fear mongering propaganda.
In layman’s terms…my understanding of “the Rind report” [I’ve read it a few times], is that it basically just categorizes different types of “sex abuse”, and tabulates the data by category. This, then, allows us to better understand outcomes, associated with the specific type of activity experienced.
Where as, some studies might have blended everything together, making no distinctions between “horny kids 69ing”, and “being kidnapped, brutally raped, beaten, stabbed and left for dead in a ditch”.
Obviously, there is a world of difference between these two scenarios, and reaction towards each would be expected to be substantial in their lack of resemblance.
It is fair and honest, to group all instances of “horny kids 69ing” together, and give that category of “sex abuse” it’s own assessment (in order to understand how harmful it is, if at all).
It is fair and honest, to group other “like” forms of sex abuse…and to keep the violent ones separate from the non-violent ones.
From what I have witnessed…the fundamentalist zealots seem hyper rabid, over the fact that such a distinction is even being made. They don’t want the illusion broken, that “children are destroyed by sexual experiences”.
If they can salt in some tame, fun sexual experiences, along with the cases of other people who were put through a hellish nightmare and left barely sane from it…that serves their purposes very, very well.
…because you will never get an accurate understanding, of tame and fun sexual experiences had by those who are illegal to have them.
Life experiences, once seen as beautiful growing experiences, are now obscured behind a myriad of factually unrelated atrocities…and yet another worthless “research” paper gets cranked out, which some busy body can wave in everybodys face…and make more demands, based upon it.
This practice allows people to claim that, because experiences which are not typically traumatic, were included in a “sex abuse” study with a wide range of other experiences, then “the outcome indicates” that these tame and enjoyable experiences “are traumatic”, or at least “harmful”…
…because every chance at a fair representation has been perverted and corrupted.
The hostility, is towards any act of attaining clarity.
They are hostile, because light is being shown on them, and what they have been doing. The smoke and mirrors are being moved…and it’s ruining their magic show.
The fate of their agenda, rests upon their magic show.
