You wrote a lot of very true things.

"that's why we need to get out there - not debating, not defending, not trying to be prove anything, or bitching and whining - just out there, being ourselves, putting a face on the reality."

This, I think, was the most important.

Even those who know about me are often afraid to tell people they know a pedophile and he is a great guy. Like you said, "they don't compare notes, and they're not about to stick up for us, in company - they all toe the line, yeah, paeds are sick, because each is afraid what the other will think."

"hey think we're ok.

they do - honest - at least in canada, around here..."

I don't know about this. On one hand, people understand that guys like girls who are younger. One second it will be okay, the next it won't. And then when you like 8 year olds, or God forbid 3 year olds, it then becomes a different matter.
Yet, most pedophiles that I know of are or were well liked in the community. So yes, on one level we are liked, on the other we are hated due to pre-conceived prejudices.

Maybe canada is okay, although I hear they don't even allow lolicon. The japanese might like us, understand us. This is why I embrace their art. They don't hide the sexual interest that so many have in little girls. In an artistic way, and also a postmodern way, they commercialize it.

But yes, we can't be vilified forever. That is, if we live as pedophiles; take upon ourselves a child love lifestyle. If there are pedophiles checking out kids in public, proclaiming love of their beauty, and collecting stuffed animals and cute films with kids, then people will know that there are pedophiles out there who aren't rapists.

That is the problem, a collective belief that all pedophiles are rapists. But the pedophiles who distinguish themselves as girl lovers aren't rapists. And society must face this fact. Let us not accelerate our declining status by hiding. Sure, hide your identity on the internet so the likes of PJ won't harass you. But in your everyday lives, live as a child lovers--girl lovers. This will be the catalyst which will change the direction of our decline.

This is where the real change will come from. Activists, theorists, writers, even future lawmakers are all waiting for the living support to their claims. Pedophiles living as child lovers are that support.
