And the best way to prevent abuse to remove the stigma recategorize it as acceptable?
Great plan Mr. Pedo.
Oh sorry... Mr. Minor Attracted Person.
These are terms used in academic research helping to prevent sexual abuse. Minor-attracted person is adults who are attracted to people under 18 or 21 years of age. This person is at medium-risk of offending.
Pedophile is someone exclusively attracted to pre-pubescent children and has engaged in sexual activity with them. This person is at high-risk of offending.
If it's your job to study this, you need different terms to differentiate between different types of abuser.
It's been picked up by the far-right and they're pushing back against sexual education that would prevent sexual abuse, and pushing back against research centers that study how to stop it. I wonder why.
There are terms for every group already. The "MAP" movement is entirely dedicated to removing the stigma.
I'm just trying to decide which was the lamer, less relevant comeback, "Jim Jones (CULT leader) was a leftist," OR, "How many primaries is Trump running in?"
Looks like a tossup.
Take your TDS to the Trump thread. This thread is for the dementia patient currently occupying the Oval Office.
Agip - I hang around with a lot of conservatives and most are pretty well off - and never ever ever does anyone bring up Trump. No one of us conservatives care about Trump. He is yesterday's news. It is only you Libs who need a boogey man. So let's quit calling the conservatives here Trumpists or Trumpzees because we are not Agreed?
You guys are all underestimating the redneck population. There are way too many uneducated white people for Trump to not win.

Let's say that removing the stigma helped pedos acknowledge their issue and improved their ability to not act on their thoughts. I don't know that to be true, but if it was, wouldn't removing the stigma be a good thing since it would lead to fewer kids being harmed?
Obviously I don't know if it would or wouldn't and I'm not sure it's been studied enough to really know, but the goal should always be to reduce harm.

Stigmas are a thing for a reason.
People aren't @ss raping 4 year old's because they're upset about the stigma placed on them for wanting to @ss rape 4 year old's.
They do it because they are mentally ill and can't get off unless a child is involved.
Being nice to sharks doesn't turn them into vegetarians.

There is no "MAP movement" Why would the 'Center for the Prevention of Child Sexual Abuse' want to destigmatize child abuse?
When Allyn Walker joined last month, they released this statement:
Walker is an emerging leader in the field of perpetration prevention research, which is essential for developing a comprehensive public health approach to addressing child sexual abuse and effective prevention programs.
As a postdoctoral fellow at the Moore Center, they[Walker] will support several research projects and help identify new projects. These scholarly projects work to prevent child sexual abuse and focus on stopping harm from occurring in the first place. Designing effective prevention programs, establishing support for those programs, and getting people into those programs is essential. We recognize that if this work were easy, it would already be done. Child sexual abuse is preventable, not inevitable.
You're saying an organization that produces a short statement with "prevention of child abuse" written five times is actually pro-pedophile?
What are you doing to prevent child sexual abuse apart from reposting articles vilifying people who are involved in working to stop it because they happen to be trans?

Hint: if your employees are pedophiles your "prevention of child abuse" organization probably isn't good at its job.
Shockingly, there are people in the liberal media attempting to normalize pedophilia. These media sources range from outlets like Salon.com to peer-reviewed journals to popular cable news media shows. One would think that a s...
No one would ever nefariously exploit gender non-discrimination laws to prey on little girls, they said. Right-wing fearmongering, they called it. Over the past few decades, the Left has been engaged in the glorification of a...

For starters, you didn't answer my question. You didn't have to, of course, but always worth noting. Instead, you made an assertion about a topic you're unlikely to be an expert in (unless you also have 4 degrees). Stigmas exist for a reason, but we've destigmatized plenty of things for a reason as well. If the outcome can be better, then we should explore how we can make it that way.

These are opinion articles where the writer "thinks" the left has a pedophile problem and wants you to "think" that too. These are writers' thoughts, not reports.
Where are the pedo groups trying to infiltrate politics? Oh right, there are none because that would actually be called news.
People aren't @ss raping 4 year old's because they're upset about the stigma placed on them for wanting to @ss rape 4 year old's.

My complete dismissal of your premise should have been enough information for you figure out what my answer to the question was.
You don't need a degree to understand that people don't commit crimes because they feel bad about the way people view them for committing crimes.
What are some things we destigmatized that were a benefit to society?
Single motherhood was destigmatized. Now broken homes are increasingly becoming the norm.
Obesity is out of control so we destigmatized obesity. Now the country is fatter than ever and in the rare occasion there's a biological woman on the cover of the Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition she weighs 260 pound.

Barack Obama was the last president to be elected who was anti gay marriage.
These movements don't start with the politicians they end up with the politicians.

So gay marriage might mean pedophilia will be legalized because some guy at 'American Thinker' wrote an article about an 18th century liberal Swiss philosopher.
So that must mean it's definitely going to happen.

No... it means movements are real even if the politicians aren't talking about them yet.
I think most people assume when they say "masters degree", they include the time it takes to get their bachelor's degree prior to getting their masters degree.
Really? Not in my experience.
When someone talks about the years and expense involved in going to med school, do you understand that to include the years and expense they spent on getting an undergraduate degree--without which, in this country, it is essentially impossible to get a medical degree? I don't understand it that way, and I really doubt that the majority of Americans do. Certainly the several MDs in my family would disagree with your statement.
Similarly, when someone says, "My master's program is going to cost $27,000" [or whatever], s/he's ordinarily not including what the expenses for a bachelor's degree were.
