01) Why pro-contact pedophile arguments are bullshit (by a pedophile)
“Pedophiles (or MAPs) can be moral human beings who never hurt a child, despite their attraction. Don’t be suckered by those who say it’s OK to act on it or those that claim it’s inevitable you will.”
I haven’t yet fully read this virtue signaling mess, that appears trying to throw other MAPs under the bus…
…To be honest…I don’t feel like it…and I know, if I start…it could be an “all night project”, just responding to these points…I have other things on my mind…
I can say one thing, though…Bly Summer and company should be fully ashamed, for starting out with a title like “Why pro-contact pedophile arguments are bullshit”…
…One hell of a lot of contempt, worn on their sleeves there…Very cocky…a sort of “shot over the bow”, if you will…and when they don’t even have the resources and knowledge, to back themselves up…
Enter A Voice for the Voiceless…Likely the only person involved in any way with that post [in the comments section], who is even worth reading…And I must say…Voice is remarkably worth reading…
I knew this sort of thing was eventually going to happen…particularly with the cocky VP members, who strut around doing this sort of thing…generally spewing venom at the rest of us who don’t hold their “pious” positions, and misrepresenting us…
…At some point, someone who actually knows their shit “down to a T”, was going to stroll into their “virtue parade”…and outright embarrass them…mop the floor with them, with hard facts…actual studies…and a working knowledge of them…
…And the cocky bunch don’t even know what to do…On some level…it’s sad…on another level…it’s hysterical…
…This is an embarrassment, they sorely deserve, for such a stunt…I’m glad I got to see it…
I’ve been extremely charitable, and supportive of VP:
…Over the past few years, I’ve tried to be supportive and have a good faith, healthy relationship with the VP members on Twitter…There are a lot of them, and you cant really avoid them…
I initially saw them as something “fresh and new”…maybe not perfect…but a hell of a lot more energetic and motivated to fight “pedophile” stereotypes, than I was at their ages…
Maybe I should have stayed out of it…or at least asked if I was welcome…but, I really liked the idea behind their #talkwithpedophiles hash tag…and I intermingled with it, during it’s early days…being more reserved, because I didn’t want to step on anybody’s toes…I understood…I was in “their house”…
I released in #talkwithpedophiles, one of my most personal and hard offerings, ever…which was no small thing…
…I wasn’t trying to steal anybody’s thunder…I just thought it was a powerful something, to help spark life into the project…give real life issues, to discuss…It got only a couple of tweets in response…It got ignored by virtually everybody…
…Which says a lot…I think, mostly about the sociopaths who visited that hash tag…that something like this would be entirely sidestepped by them…in preference for quick bashings and death threats…Virtually nobody arrived at that hash tag, for substantive dialogue…
At any rate…I’ve been happy to give them a bit of extra exposure and traffic…so long as they weren’t getting too rowdy, with their poo pooing of other MAPs…so long as they were reasonably playing nice…
…It’s disappointing, to see where they’ve decided to take things…to say the least…
Pro-Contact:
I don’t call myself “pro-contact”…and this is intentional…
I’m not entirely sure where the pro/anti-contact dichotomy came from…though it’s been around for many years…
…I’m not even aware of “pro-contact” having an established, agreed upon definition…
…What I do know, is that it emphasizes “contact”, in a way as to make it seem…that “contact” is a leading, or primary, motive…Very much like how anti-abortionists call pro-choice people, “pro-abortion”…without their input or agreement…It’s a way to pigeonhole…maybe even poison the well…but it’s boxing somebody else [an adversary] into something, that maybe isn’t entirely honest to be boxing them into…
If you want me to pick a position…I will readily admit, that my views are of a pro-human, pro-dignity, pro-respect, pro-tenderness, pro-loving, pro-freedom, pro-rights, pro-education…pro-choice…
I am confident, this would land me into what some call “pro-contact”…
…But “contact” of that nature, is not my goal…I am no drooling pervert, with a single mind on sex, and how to get it…
To me, and my definitions of life and ethics…”Sex” is a sliver of the mixture…It’s just naturally there, where the rest of the relationship is working…It’s not something you can base everything else off of…and if the relationship is failing…then so is your chances at sex…
…If you don’t put in the work, and treat your perspective companion right…then there will be no sex…
…There is nothing dirty, about beautiful sex.
Relationships must be fully represented in their total accuracy…including their sex…Socially inconvenient things [by some people’s opinions], must not be censored…
We must make value judgements, and practical judgements…based upon real representations of relationships, in society…not based upon stereotypes, and old wives tales about “curses of the sexual touch”…
If my defense of these principles are offensive to anybody…then so be it…
…But, this is where I stand…
…I tell society [most especially the fanatics], to stop impeding research…and let the chips fall where they may…We can discuss things, when we have a clearer picture…But allow the picture, to be attained.
Above all I am pro-honesty, and pro-decency…And what we have emerging so far, looks favorably upon people who hold my open minded stance…I know that much, because I’ve paid attention to the research, over the last two decades…Which is why I am pro-choice, in the spirit of my broader stance.
I cannot even tell you:
I find it hard to put into words…what it has meant to me on a personal level…having the ability to journey down this path of self discovery, over the past twenty years…This is a pilgrimage, which every MAP should experience…
…As MAPs…we don’t even comprehend, all that we don’t know about ourselves and the world around us…until we experience this trek…
…It is honestly important, in understanding who we are…and our natural place in this world…
…It is disheartening, to say the least…watching young MAPs act as parrots and lap dogs, to the very system…which is going to tare them apart…
It is disheartening…watching them embrace the lies…and believing as though they are in the morally superior place…
…One day…when they’ve had enough time to build a personal history to look back upon…I hope they will have wised up…and that they will have learned the value, of listening to wise, knowledgeable MAPs…the value of respecting MAPs, who’ve known and navigated this treacherous world…the value of having these MAPs as allies, to draw upon…the value of building and maintaining bridges, with people who should have been sought out by them…
“Pride cometh before the fall”…
This face of VP…is damn prideful…
…It’s just sad.
They don’t want to be part of the movement seeking truth?…
…Then they’re not part of a real movement, at all.
Thank you:
…to A Voice for the Voiceless…
You are an uncommonly good human being…
…I just wish the pursuit of accuracy, and the necessity behind it, weren’t lost on so many people of this era.
I also wish so many others hadn’t forgotten, how to allow other humans to be human…nor about the necessity in it…
…We live in a world that’s obsessed with timelines, calendar dates, social roles and strictly followed “life” scripts…
…Somehow…our cultures forgot how to make a life worth living…
…In my personal theory…the modern mass violence…shootings, and domestic terrorism…I cannot believe, that there is not some kind of link, to our subjugation in this anti-human culture.
