There’s a well known adage that says a frog placed in a pan with cool water will remain in the pan as the water is gradually heated until it dies. I doubt that it’s true, but the point is valid: if something pernicious is initially portrayed as benign but slowly changes until it’s harmful, it has a chance of eventually being accepted. The chronically battered wife probably didn’t fall in love with her husband because he beat her from the start, it just kind of escalated until it becomes the norm.
Presently, the water is still tepid in regards to normalizing pedophilia, i.e. adults having sex with children. Soon enough, however, it will be boiling, and one of the most disgraceful accusations- of being a pedophile- will give way to something like, “if you don’t accept and embrace sex between adults and children you are a pedophobe!
As usual, this type of societal transformation begins with nuancing the language. Hence, the current innocuous term being floated, which sounds so much less pejorative than “child molester” or “pedophile,” is Minor Attracted People, or MAP. The main advocate for this term seems to be a “transgender” (of course; “they and them” pronouns) post-doctoral fellow at Johns Hopkins named Allyn Walker who wrote a book entitled A Long, Dark Shadow: Minor Attracted People and Their Pursuit of Dignity.

Reid,
This is another well written piece, accurate in its insights, thorough in its exposition, and entirely accurate with the main point. The sexualization of children is utterly revolting (your pics from the media clearly show this), and to say that they can or should be consenting at an early age is preposterous. How about letting the kids grow up in as much innocence as possible? Let the natural processes of life allow them to ask the questions of life that come about in the years of transition to adulthood.
More to the point is the accurate depiction of the underlying program by the elites: power and control. It is ever and always all about this in the end; that being the case, there is no boundary they cannot and will not cross to achieve their ends. This is indeed a sick world in which we live and the old maxim still holds true: absolute power breed absolute corruption.
