Re: A bad anti argument I hear

Many truly believe paedosexuals are inherently sociopathic and that they "rape" children because they get off on power, abusing children, causing harm, and "ruining innocence".

A very short time talking with you guys or doing research will prove two things. One being that paedosexuals are no different than people of any other sexuality. The other being that children are not asexual porcelain dolls and enjoy and seek out consensual sexual pleasure.

As others have said, all relationships have power imbalances. Pretty large ones at that. Even comparable to the adult vs child relationships.

Also as others have said, with power comes responsibility. It does not mean the power is inherently abused. At this point people will say that kids naturally succumb to those in power, but this is patently false. Children are hugely independent and let their opinions and how they feel known. Unless an adult abuses their power over the child.
