I think this is a matter of availability....priests in general have more access to boys than girls.

That definitely is a factor especially in the case of all boys high schools. However once past puberty I'm not sure a pedophile would still be attracted. I also find the fact that pedophiles can not only distinguish their sexual preference but also display it through symbols on jewelry etc. flies in the face of the accepted theory they have no gender preference. I'm just glad law inforcement hasn't accepted it.

No I think psychologists who have somehow come to the conclusion that individual pedophiles do not have any gender preference are confused.

When a child molester boards a plane for Thailand do you think he/she will hire which ever gender comes their way or do they know which sex they are looking for? I obviously think the later. Child molestation is IMO one of the most horrible crimes there is as the victim is always completely innocent. To not recognize the signs and clues because of some false, accepted, theory is dangerous.

BTW I know far more girls who were molested than I do boys despite attending 12 years of catholic school. And they are all forever injured some far worse than others.

if all the priests you ever met were gay and liked little boys why would you think there were some that weren't.

i googled "do pedophiles display gender preferences?" and could find no link suggesting they didn't. whatever widespread opinion you think there is otherwise has managed to elude the internet.

maybe you set up a straw man argument sometime in the past and then forgot about it so are now arguing with your past self. because i don't know who else it could be.

This was an argument based on past dt posts. Think it may have been a danzig post. I'll get back when I get a minute.

I had a minute and this is what I was speaking of

By Danzig as I thought

http://psychology.ucdavis.edu/rainbo...lestation.html

The distinction between a victim's gender and a perpetrator's sexual orientation is important because many child molesters don't really have an adult sexual orientation. They have never developed the capacity for mature sexual relationships with other adults, either men or women. Instead, their sexual attractions focus on children – boys, girls, or children of both sexes.

and


the important point is that many child molesters cannot be meaningfully described as homosexuals, heterosexuals, or bisexuals (in the usual sense of those terms) because they are not really capable of a relationship with an adult man or woman. Instead of gender, their sexual attractions are based primarily on age. These individuals – who are often characterized as fixated – are attracted to children, not to men or women.


and

This well known lack of a linkage between homosexuality and child molestation accounts for why relatively little research has directly addressed the issue. Proving something we already know simply isn't a priority.

I didnt realize psychologists came up with that conclusion. I dont study much about sick, disgusting people... even though its hard to miss articles about catholic priests these days.
