A Difference?

Posted by on Tue, Dec 2, 2008 at 3:16 PM

Not good news for potheads and pedophiles in Switzerland:

GENEVA — Swiss voters on Sunday rejected a proposition to decriminalize cannabis for personal consumption. In a surprise, voters chose to remove the statute of limitations on acts of paedophilia, despite government opposition to the proposal, which was put forward by parents’ groups. This put sexual offenses against children on equal footing with genocide and war crimes, the only other crimes that have no statute of limitations under to Swiss law.

Speaking of pedophilia...

If a man desires a girl who is dressed up like a sexy adult, is that really pedophilia? Or is something else at work here. Something that is yet to be named. A desire not for fruit vert but for little women? A homunculus fetish? Truly, a man who desires girls does not want the woman in the child but the child in the child.

Let's now consider the type of man whose thrills are twisted from making grown women dress like little girls: Isn't such a one more of a paedophile than a man who twists his thrills from making girls dress like grown women?

I think what makes the above photo possible or intelligible in the American context is this difference. The girls are not trying to be girls but women. And so the football fan who desires them really desires a woman, a little woman.

This reminds me of one a dilemma I have faced for years:

Is a gay man who prefers effeminate men more or less gay than a gay man who prefers masculine men?

Charles?

I don't see how the little girls in this pic are dressed as sexy older women. The little girls are fully covered unlike the women in this picture wearing low cut crop tops. If you think those children look sexy, then there is something wrong with you.

Charles, you sick fuck, the general public only sees "cute" when they see that photo. It's like playing dress-up.

Isn't such a one more of a paedophile than a man who twists his thrills from making girls dress like grown women?

No.

Ok, Charles just crossed the line into the bad place. There's a big difference here. Fruit vert my ass,these are obviously young girls, even if they are wearing clothing that is somewhat similar to that of the women in the picture.

These little girls aren't trying anything in this photo, they got pushed out their by their parents.

If someone wanted to look at small women that would be midget photos they would be seeking, not pics of 8 year old girls.

Jesus Christ, sober up and get some help. You've got a daughter Charles. This is really not ok.

I agree that shots like that are creepy. But this post sounds a bit like it's trying to villify a legitimate (if creepy) kink, and legitimate a creepy and dangerous mental illness. The difference here is women can consent to their infantilization while little girls can't so much consent to their sexualization.

I think the law would rather strenuously disagree with you, Charles. An interest in little girls dressed as women is pedophilia, while an interest in women dressed as little girls is not. Unappetizing, perhaps, but legal.

@ 12, i have to agree with you. i failed to think of it that way. my point of view was, as always, purely a male one. the one who desires, what is his situation? but it's a matter of who desires and who is desired.

@ 10, it's nothing but a struggle to keep my daughter (who is 7) within the limits of her childhood. pop and product culture daily commands her to become a woman.

Charles post of the year. (BTW: Somehow ridiculing Chuckles is harder if he's in the comments section; it's like a star stepping outside the TV. In the spirit of Chazz, let's ask the question: what makes the depersonalization possible? what in the Western media experience validates the sudden erection of thick albeit arbitrary walls barring honest communication as not just a likelyhood, but a rock-solid necessity? is this contrived space of encounter between observer and performer, and the rules governing the attendent boundaries, simply a desperate, defensive thrust to protect the ego?

Also, here's a woman I want to fuck. Her tits represent the speaker, while her ass -- invisible in the photograph but still very much suggested -- represent the unseen spoken to, the group that truly validates the act of speech.

God, I want to fuck her. While she wears a cheerleader uniform. Is that wrong? Okay, what if I wear the uniform?)

Another article promoting perversions from Charles. First it was animal-fucking and now it's kiddie fucking. You must be so proud of such divershitty, Seattle.
