I understand your feelings. People who are attracted to children should seek help and I believe in the capital punishment for pedophiles who molest, simply because they are a threat to the most precious thing in our societies, our children.
I'm not quite sure what you mean with responsibility for other children. The royal families are living rolemodels, is that what you refer to?
But where is the limit to the lenghts we go to shield our children from potential pedophiles?
Let me try and explain what I mean in another way.
I'll be damned, pardon my for swearing, if my children should be covered up and limited in doing what children have alway done, just because there are people out there who will not seek help for their urges.
Where is the limit? Should we cover up our children up completely in order not to arouse some potential pedophile who must likely is not around anyway?
That's the exuse rapists have been using about women. If women only dressed more modestly....
No way! The women are not to blame, the parents are not to blame and the children certainly cannot be blamed. - The pedophiles are to be blamed.
As a man and as a father this is something that I feel differently from women. When our children were little my wife and I showered with them. That could now lead to us being arrested in several otherwise liberal countries.
We have a society now where there are almost no male teachers in kindergardens and nurseries. And where there are rules about male teachers not taking the children to the toilet, not being alone for more than a few minuttes with a child. - Not to protect the children, but to protect the teacher.
When I was young and my nieces began to reach puberty, I began to be more careful about touching them for fear of someone thinking bad about me. Only to learn that they felt I didn't like them as much as before. They didn't understand it - and that's how it ought to be.
Okay, again a loooong tirade from me, sorry.
