'Mild Paedophilia Never Did Me Any Harm': Atheist Scientist Richard Dawkins Declares

128. A man stuck his hand inside a kid's pants.

Of course it's sick, that goes without saying. But apparently it was somewhat common in the past.

And nobody talked about it, because it just wasn't talked about. That, and much, much worse that abusers did to kids, and it's highly likely the "worse" stuff, ie, going beyond touching to insertion or worse, fucked up a lot of peoples' lives permanently.

Relatively speaking, what he talked about was mild. RELATIVELY SPEAKING.

Thankfully, we're in an age where those who "feel up" a child are recognized as the sickos they are, and hopefully caught before they do worse. Because there's much worse molesters could do, up to and including killing a child so they don't tell. The corollary is "godly" molesters telling kids that God wants them to do it and Jesus will get them if they don't give in and will kill their families if they tell. That happens much more often.

Now, as a child, I also got felt up -- but it was by other child-boys, who I also felt up. It's kind of a given, as humans are curious, and boys take it to limits. I'm no psychologist, but the man who felt the kid up may have been trying to fulfill a part of growing up he was denied. NOT saying it's right, just a possible.

Flame away.
