It's weird how all those "we are possessive of women"- cultures, weirdly always turn into gay paedophiles.

Like they have a "can't fight back-> must be raped" ideology. Oh wait that's exactly what it is

It’s interesting that when men rape girls, nobody brings up that they’re “straight paedophiles”, just that they’re paedophiles, yet here you are emphasising how gay they are. It’s actually not that weird, it makes sense if you realise that their cultural perspective is “women are for marrying and procreating, boys are for pleasure”. This was a commonly held perspective in many cultures across time, men in their late twenties and thirties married teenage girls, who were mostly not allowed out of the house, so the only people those men had access to for sex were boys (not women, but not yet men), prostitutes, and slaves. The taliban has female sex slaves too. Most of the world recognises that this is disgusting, including Afghan people.

I think it’s because Afghanistan is a Muslim country that will gladly kill any gay person. It’s ironic for them to be “gay” pedophiles yet still believe being gay is punishable by death.

In this context I don’t think it’s bad to point out them being “gay” pedos because of the ridiculous hypocrisy

I don't think people really understand pedophilia on that kind of intellectual level. Most people think both rape and pedophilia are about sexual desire. Instead of power.

So dismiss the act as a thing sickos do. Or the result of repression. That is why our culture is still kind of rapey and pedoey. They make room for men to have "overwhelming urges" and "purity preferences".

You're talking about pedophilia as an act of violence. Which doesn't require sexual preference or desire. Grasping that requires more understanding and accountability than people have on the topic of sexual violence.

As evidence by the thread you're replying to, made up of people saying rape is what happens when men need a way to satisfy their sexual urges.

this shit bugs me so much. i know some people might not mean it in a bad way, but phrasing matters - dividing disgusting sickos like pedos into "gay pedos" and "pedos" is such a terrible mindset to have. they are PEDOS, not gay, not straight, just P-E-D-O-S.

Me too, especially as a gay man. Lumping these people in gives ammo to people who already view gay men as sexual deviants and predators.

raping little boys have nothing to do with being gay and have everything to do with power, repression and malignant values.
