It shows that people have a biological disposition to experience strong sexual urges which society demands that they suppress. This could be a strong refutation to one of the moral arguments against prohibiting homosexuality. People argue that if people are born with or develop SSA, it is immoral to tell them to restrain those urges their whole life. Well, here we have evidence of a biologically caused desire to engage in intimacy with children, which nobody considers permissible. (I understand there's a difference between minors and two consenting adults, but one aspect of the moral argument falls.)Dovid in Israelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7309929059139673041.post-73331469329529164412012-06-18T19:07:03.477+03:002012-06-18T19:07:03.477+03:00There is still a preponderance of professionals wh...There is still a preponderance of professionals who have acquaintance with the scientific data who believe there is a noticeable history of abuse as a victim that is found in perpetrators. As is common to society, it takes many people with "kleine kepelach" who misunderstand a position taken in the scientific world and misuse it to disastrous results.<br /><br />It was not too long ago that parents of a 14 year old yeshiva bochur reported that they were called to the out of town yeshiva and told by the menahel that the boy must leave. He had been molested by a goyishe worker in the neighborhood of the dormitory. The reason given was not that he would need therapy, and being closer to home might be preferred. Instead, the parents were told that this boy, having been victimized would now pose a risk of abusing others, and this was a threat the yeshiva would not accept. <br /><br />The studies cited above suggest the validity of the abusee becoming an abuser is not necessarily that great. But if we assume this to be fact, this menahel misused this information in a most damaging manner. He essentially revictimized the victim, convicting him of something he never did or would be likely to do. That is chutzpah. That's what happens when people in power assume their role gives them information and knowledge which they never studied. Such people should NEVER act on their own.Destroy evilnoreply@blogger.com
