I agree with your assessment that there is much more than a couple percentage points of males attracted to minors. While I don't think it's 80%, I think that 25% are exclusives and probably another 25% that are seriously attracted. But, then, I am just guessing. I am pretty much a recluse now and have little data to base my guess upon. If I were a betting man, I'd bet those numbers.

To win the war...

Because I spent most of my life in the States, I'll use them as my referent.

In 1789, the united thirteen American colonies formally formed a formidable union and called it the United States of America. It had violently broken away from the ruling "powers that be", specifically, the British Government at the time. So, the base tenet of that formulation came from its own declaration to the world that the thirteen original colonies were independent. You can read the most potent and consequential words in American history in that formal Declaration of Independence which are the following (quoted throughout history by many):

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

The right to life of a under-aged child is generally taken as a given (birth being the demarcation line).

But liberty? Liberty is the state of being free within society from oppressive restrictions imposed by authority on one's way of life, behavior, or political views. The right to liberty, then, for the under-aged child does not exist. The same, years ago, went for the African slaves. The U.S. Government, at the time, to get around the philosophical point, did not consider African slaves to be "men" (i.e., humans.) Nor, in governmental matters, neither were women or whatever "Indians" actually were (Native Americans, in today's vernacular.) Liberty, then, applied to only those that the "powers that be" wanted and to no one else. Right or wrong, that's just the way it is.

The pursuit of happiness? Little girls, as has been my personal experience, will vigorously pursue sexual happiness once exposed to the pleasures of such a natural, human thing. Yet society, in its laws and general attitude, makes it a severe and complete restriction for under-aged children... humans. Little girls, then, do not qualify as "men" -- as intelligent creations -- people -- just like Africans, Native Americans, and Women did not qualify years ago. Until recently, even some men (and women) legally qualified as "men" were severely and completely restricted from the pursuit of happiness. I refer, of course, to the... if I can get the letters correctly... LGBT... or is it GLBT? People were incarcerated for their sexual experiences several decades ago yet, today, the LGBT community thrives. In fact, in many instances, public figures such as the past Premiere of Ontario were openly (one of those letters.)

You wrote, To win the war we must appeal... to what? Them? Yes, the Africans did appeal to "Them" yet it took hundreds of years and an entire civil WAR to even get "Them" to consider the Africans' appeal. Then, after that war, it took another hundred years to get that "pursuit of happiness" installed into society.

We MAPs, then, have just started our centuries of struggle. Must we have a civil war, too?

I'll give you a quote that I quote many times over the years.


I am free, no matter what rules surround me. If I find them tolerable, I tolerate them; if I find them too obnoxious, I break them. I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do.


For four wonderful years, I broke society's rules. My mistake (one of many) was getting caught. I was not careful.

Well, to quote Forrest Gump, "Shit Happens".
