So this guys perspective is treated as allowable due to ideals of free speech. But if a professor at this same university were to insist that there are only two genders, he'd be run off campus.
Is he given a platform and a class to teach on the basis of free speech?
I assume he has some credentials and research.
Maybe not.
To be honest, I know little about pedophilia other than the basics and having read Nabokov. And that was when I was in high school. When I read about someone who is charged or convicted of these heinous crimes I am weirdly fascinated.
I might be interested in taking a course on the subject and learning more about it. Not because I want to be indoctrinated but because I just don't get the whole attraction to children.
I do think it is a topic worth exploring on the college level. Could be helpful in many jobs or just in life.
Not just gross but I find these people repulsive.. there are both men and women that molest young people and they tend to be teachers. I just don't understand these people.

I don't get it either.
Maybe you should think about auditing the class. Just to get a better understanding.
from the article, quoting the professor: "imagine that an adult male wants to have sex with a 12-year-old girl. Imagine that she's a willing participant. A very standard, very widely held view is there's something deeply wrong about this. And it's wrong independent of it being criminalized," fredonia philosophy professor stephen kershnar says in a clip posted to twitter tuesday.
"it's not obvious to me that is in fact wrong. I think this is a mistake. And i think that exploring why it's a mistake will tell us not only things about adult-child sex and statutory rape, but also about fundamental principles of morality," he said.
Additional clips of kershnar show him saying "the notion that it's wrong [to have sexual relations] even with a one-year-old, it's not quite obvious to me." he pointed out that in "at least one culture," there are reports of grandmothers allegedly "fellating their baby boys to calm them down when they're colicky."
he also compared children consenting to sex to playing sports like kickball or preparing for their bar mitzvah.
"so there's all sorts of things that [children] will, you might think, ‘well, maybe there's something distinct about sex and they can't really understand it.’ it's not clear to me that what they're not getting at is consent."
"there's lots of activities that children engage in that they don't understand all that well. For example, when you, when you first show up to participate in a judo tournament, or you prepare for your bar mitzvah," he said."
i think i understand why all the young people are running around not knowing which gender they are. I wouldn't be surprised if this professor had child porn on his computer. These sick people usually do.
College is becoming a joke!
s-i-c-k!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
