One of 'em wants you to know that pedophilia is just an "attraction"

In the interview, "non-binary" Walker uses the term "minor attracted people" because of consideration for pedophile's feelings, noting "I think it’s important to use terminology for groups that members of that group want others to use for them."
Walker goes on to state that "MAP advocacy groups like B4U-Act have advocated for use of the term, and they’ve advocated for it primarily because it’s less stigmatizing than other terms like pedophile."
B4U-Act was founded by convicted multi-child rapist Michael Melsheimer for the explicit purposes of normalizing and legalizing pedophilia. In Melsheimer's own words, he wanted to ensure B4U-Act was never associated with the "prevention of offending."
Melsheimer died in 2010, but is considered a respected member of the "boy love community" to this day.
Walker says, "I sort of empathize with pedophiles because of identifying as Queer. Although I’m not a MAP, myself, I am queer, and so I too, have been through experiences and realized that I have attractions many people wouldn’t understand, and that some people find to be immoral. And those experiences have really shaped who I’ve become. And so I sort of empathize with those experiences, and I wanted to learn more."
The Prostasia Foundation has come under fire multiple times in the past for their campaigns aimed at fighting laws requiring child sex offenders to be identified in registries. Most recently, the organization came into the spotlight once again after New Republic writer Noah Berlatsky signed on to be their communications lead.
Berlatsky had previously raised eyebrows after writing an article titled “Child Sex Worker’s Biggest Threat: The Police” in which he lamented the treatment of “children engaged in survival sex” by police.
In 2017, Berlatsky tweeted “pedophiles are essentially a stigmatized group.”

I believe the problem begins with surrendering to the attraction, does it not.......sort of like alcoholism is not really harmful for those who refrain from drinking.......

Discuss.
What's to discuss? Pedophilia will be the next thing leftists will whine about and I bet crimes against pedophiles will suddenly be on the increase.

Fuck that. It will have to be happy with "it".
That ship has sailed. They're already complaining about mean police officers arresting child prostitutes.

Most eligible Americans don't bother to vote, so the DEMOCRATS vote for them.
LMAO
I wasn't joking.
Have you noticed the JPP lefties are scared to air their opinions in this thread?

They haven't soften up the American people enough yet.
They're working on it, though, aren't they?
They're running the same playbook they used to get homosexuality legally protected.
They call that "hate speech".
McAuliffe laid out the left's position on children.

A Virginia university is taking heat after one of their professors said it isn’t immoral for adults to be sexually attracted to children — prompting college officials to put out a statement "clarifying" the claim.
Allyn Walker, who teaches sociology and criminal justice at Old Dominion University, made the comments while discussing “minor-attracted persons” and pedophiles during a Nov. 8 interview with the Prostasia Foundation, a San Francisco-based organization.
Walker was discussing their book, “A Long Dark Shadow: Minor-Attracted People and Their Pursuit of Dignity,” when he insisted it’s important to use that terminology instead of “pedophile” because "it’s less stigmatizing".
“A lot of people, when they hear the term ‘pedophile,’ they automatically assume that it means a sex offender, and that isn’t true,” Walker said during the 28-minute interview. “And it leads to a lot of misconceptions about attractions towards minors.”
Walker's preferred term “minor-attracted persons” — or MAPs — suggests that it’s OK to be attracted to children, but he said labeling anyone wholly by their sexual desires "doesn’t indicate anything about their morality".
“From my perspective, there is no morality or immorality attached to attraction to anyone because no one can control who they’re attracted to at all,” Walker said. “In other words, it’s not who we’re attracted to that’s either OK or not OK. "
Walker said that having sexual urges toward children isn’t necessarily wrong.
But ODU officials distanced themselves from Walker.
“Following recent social media activity and direct outreach to the institution, it is important to share that Old Dominion, as a caring and inclusive community, does not endorse or promote crimes against children or any form of criminal activity,” ODU’s statement read.
Some students at the public university in Norfolk, meanwhile, said they were disturbed by Walker’s comments.
“Honestly, it just sounds gross,” student Jaelan Jackson told WTKR. “It feels uncomfortable to know that someone’s like that on campus.”
