My questions/observations are:
If people that are of an adult age discuss some type of sexual molestation or interaction that occurred to them when they were underage by a person that was of adult age....is that considered therapy or "crossing the line"? Does it have to be with a licensed therapist to qualify as therapy or is it good to talk it out in a platform where it tends to be anonymous and allows some individuals who may not be able to afford therapy to "walk in the shoes" of experience and maybe obtain some form of help or at least something that helps them?
If a person goes to a family nudist camp and you're of legal adult age and see participants of under legal adult age in the nude, does that make everybody who sees them a pedophile because they're viewing "children" in the nude"?
I personally think that almost the entire world could be incarcerated for what they think or what their thoughts are as it pertains to the current laws had they actually acted on their thoughts.......so perhaps we should just keep acting like we as individual human beings don't really think of any illegal or immoral things and pretend that we are all pillars of the community and "above" all the others who are weak and criminal in their thoughts, if not deeds.....BUT it has been my experience that a lot of those who preach the most and "wear it on their sleeves" all the time....usually have something to hide themselves, and are guilty of the very thing that they are speaking out against. Just observe the news and realize that not all who commit these violations are under educated, and ignorant souls and the dredges of society, but rather all shapes and sizes, genders and colors.
That includes people in very high places, who are very educated, and seemingly "together" in outward appearance. In other words, they feel like a "good defense" is to throw up a "good offense" and preach and espouse to the "others" when they really should look in a mirror as it pertains to certain illegal or immoral behavior.
Most of the time a society promulgates laws to cover and control what the majority of the populace agrees with or deems "normal" accepted or unacceptable" behavior. Amazingly a lot of countries view what we in the U.S. A. consider a slam dunk to abhorrent behavior or illegal to be legal in their country when it comes to "proper" behavior and most of the times it is readily apparent to a lot of "outside "individuals in their personal opinions that it isn't.....at least to us here in this country. Are we the "world police" of opinion and morality? Is our way the only way when it concerns drug, sex, criminal behavior/law etc.? Just throwing the question out there.....
We are generally a moral nation and a moral global community, and we tend to agree with the obvious.........that's what we refer to as "black and white" issues and opinions (such as overt child molestation), but the bigger challenge and issue is the "shade of gray" issues (the discussing of underage sexual issues perhaps) that change as opinions change and therefore what is acceptable today, may not be tomorrow or vice-versa.
However where it gets confusing is that what is a law today or in this current generation can be totally changed by an Appellate Court in the future or overturned to a retroactive position of another time and place. People are judged by a "moving target" opinion pool and have been since time began. It's the theory of "the only constant thing is change itself."
I think it's easy to be a Monday morning quarterback on almost any topic or situation and hindsight is always 20/20...........but if you have to be held accountable is it better to error on the side of caution or is it better to sound it out to the masses and as a result get things changed because a squeaky wheel does seem to get the grease? Look at how many individuals live by the rule of "Do as I say and not how I do." There are a lot of members in this club and I'd hazzard to guess we all have been in this club at one time or another.
You have touched on a volatile subject and one that is open to a lot of interpretations (just ask the Supreme Court).....but be aware of this.....THERE IS NO SIMPLE ANSWER OR SOLUTION TO THIS QUESTION as long as people have different opinions.
