Dawkins Pedophilia Remarks - Derail from For Reason & Science

[Bella Fortuna]

Not...........A PETITION!

They should start a petition for Assad to hand over the nasty chemicals, that'd sort it. Petition!

[Clinton Huxley]

Repent! Repent or we shall petition you A SECOND TIME!

Because we have monsters amongst us in positions of authority we should be thorough in examining those who have risen to power before the bright light of the information age cast its critical glare on those who seek power.

Are you drunk, or am I?

The Dawk responds:

Well, if that's one of the points that he's making, then I'd be on the same page as him. But it's not the whole story, is it?

[Coito ergo sum]

The point is that if Dawkins expresses anything less than complete and total outrage over everything, then it "silences" victims of pedophilia.

[Seth]

Maybe he's just a closet homosexual and enjoyed the "touching," but he's unwilling to admit it.

[Coito ergo sum]

I think what he's saying is that, like, when the 25 year old woman introduced a young, 16 year old Coito to some, well....coitus...it probably was illegal or would be now in the state in which it occurred, it really didn't do me much harm, I think. Well, at least in my view it didn't, not to belittle anyone else's experience. According to Greta Christina and the rest of the Torquemadas over at FTB, I shouldn't mention that it didn't do me much harm, or I'm belittiling all the real victims out there...

Didn't Bobby Goldsboro write a song about that?

FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU! Why aren't you curled up in a ball in the corner traumatize beyond belief while cutting yourself. Funking peado enabler or something.

well, if I did that then they would accuse me of being an MRA-dudebro who is equating men's experiences with women's experiences, and thereby belittling teenage girls who are subjected to sex by older men. Somehow, I'll always be belittling someone...

This is a sensitive subject for Dawkins obviously. There are no shades of grey with abuse. It is all shades of black and deeper black.
