There is a reason their 3rd Q earnings were down 95% in the 3rd quarter.

Wonder if this has anything to do with a certain well known Democrat politician being investigated for the crime?

The Left can always be counted on to defend the most vile behavior.

Pedophilia is what lots of people believe will be the next big equality movement. It is being normalized more and more in the Western world.

Some of us have been predicting this for a while. Liberals are running out of sexual frontiers to normalize and they are pretty much left with the bottom of the barrel with things like pedophilia, bestiality and necrophilia.

The term "pedophilia" is commonly misused. Strictly speaking it means attraction to kids, not molestation.

I read the article and it is laying the groundwork for normalizing pedophilia. They are using the same argument that was used for gay rights, namely that it is a biological predisposition.

Which might be the case. But psychopathy is a biological predisposition and we aren't going to normalize serial killing. At least not until serial killers become a lucrative Democrat pet voting group.

according to the article

A second misconception is that pedophilia is a choice. Recent research, while often limited to sex offenders — because of the stigma of pedophilia — suggests that the disorder may have neurological origins. Pedophilia could result from a failure in the brain to identify which environmental stimuli should provoke a sexual response. M.R.I.s of sex offenders with pedophilia show fewer of the neural pathways known as white matter in their brains.

A pedophile should be held responsible for his conduct — but not for the underlying attraction. Arguing for the rights of scorned and misunderstood groups is never popular, particularly when they are associated with real harm. But the fact that pedophilia is so despised is precisely why our responses to it, in criminal justice and mental health, have been so inconsistent and counterproductive. Acknowledging that pedophiles have a mental disorder, and removing the obstacles to their coming forward and seeking help, is not only the right thing to do, but it would also advance efforts to protect children from harm.

So let me get this straight. Pedophilia is NOT a choice, if it is not a choice, does professional help really help?

If pedophilia is an illness or a condition, then I would argue the people who suffer from this condition should be quarantined or put in isolation.
