"...[C]ognitive distortions are sometimes referred to as "stinking thinking" in sex offender treament manuals, which suggests that engaging in distortions is both aberrant and restricted to offenders when, in fact, all people distort some aspects of their experience. The word "grooming, which refers to non-violent behaviors offenders use to gain cooperation from victims, has similar negative connotations. Using the word "grooming" as a descriptor of what are ostensibly courting behaviors fails to acknowledge that many of these activities would be considered appropriate were they not used in the context of an abusive encounter." Not exactly open-minded, but at least it calls out some of the bullshit expelled by the incestuous SOT psychiatry cult. [Fernandez, Yolanda M. 2006.
