      What is the deal with all these damn rapists.

      The sexual abuse of children is vastly more common than many people want to believe. It happens all over the world and it isn’t confined to any particular group or class.

        I mean… I can think of a few classes and groups that have the vast lion’s share, but I’m not here to get banned.

          Eh, nobody is going to get banned (at least not from my instance) as long as it stays inbounds.

          There are well understood reasons why sexual abusers cluster into certain jobs, such as priests, but they are commonly found all over the world in every social, political, and economic class. The truth is that for for every Jerry Sandusky or Vince McMahon you hear about there’s 100, or even 1000, non-famous people that you don’t hear about.

            I was actually referring to men…

            I also would like to see the data on how much more likely a famous/rich/powerful person is to be actually tried/prosecuted if they abused boys/men vs girls/women. It sure feels like it at least gets way more publicity when it’s boys/men as victims.

      The cycle continues. A tale as old as time. The only difference is that victims are finally being supported and perpetrators are finally (sort of) being held accountable.
