Dicky Dawks defends paedophilia

[touchingcloth]

I see things like mild pedophilia, and can't find it in me to condemn it

Blimey.

If mild paedophilia were wrong then paedophiles would have gone extinct thousands of years ago. Ever think of that?

I noticed the article is from 2013. He tried to clarify what he meant with a tweet in 2014 but only really dug himself a deeper hole

'Theological' abuse is worse than sexual abuse, because I was nonced up as a kiddie and I grew up to have a normal healthy relationship with an actress in a children's TV show 10 years my junior.

But weren't you also able to recover from the same teachers telling you about Jesus?

Yes, but only because I am a brainy intuallectual. Most children cant cope with listening to bible readings or hearing hymns it is literally worse than paedophilia.

Do you think you are being a bit ...

WORSE THAN PAEDOPHILIA.

I vaguely remember this. Was he making a not particularly challenging point that there are degrees of illness and degrees of criminality? Looks like it.

The main tweet or what?

I disagree with his comment about rape below it.

Shoulders is a mild nonce

[Dr Trouser]

is mild paedophilia just the tip?

[Thursday]

UGH! Another thread descends into chat about paedophilia!

[bgmnts]

Again, surely paedophilia is just the desire to engage with a child sexually, its not an act is it? I am unsure if my pedantry is correct but it always irks me.

Regardless, this is fucking mental and I'm amazed Dawkins hasn't become irrelevant yet.

[Zetetic]

You're not alone with that pedantry, bgmnts - if people mean the "sexual abuse of children", I rather they said it.

Setting aside this old news, I think there are plenty of interesting battles that Dawkins could be picking these days around things that he once seemed to take a serious interest in.
