[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Richard Dawkins: Pedophilia’s OK
HE ACTUALLY SAID THAT

https://www.thedailybeast.com/cheats/2013/09/10/richard-dawkins-pedophilia-s-okay

A little pedophilia is fine, says Richard Dawkins. In an interview with the Times magazine, the English ethologist and famed atheist says past stories of touching children shouldn’t be condemned. Dawkins bases his hideous assertion on his own experience of his headmaster putting “his hands inside my shorts.” The event, Dawkins says, didn't cause “lasting harm,” so it should be dismissed. “I look back a few decades to my childhood and see things like caning, like mild pedophilia, and can’t find it in me to condemn it,” he said. The Internet is, understandably, in an uproar about the comments—which child welfare specialists have deemed outrageous.

In a recent interview with the Times magazine, Richard Dawkins attempted to defend what he called "mild pedophilia," which, he says, he personally experienced as a young child and does not believe causes "lasting harm."

Dawkins went on to say that one of his former school masters "pulled me on his knee and put his hand inside my shorts," and that to condemn this "mild touching up" as sexual abuse today would somehow be unfair.

Plus, he added, though his other classmates also experienced abuse at the hands of this teacher, "I don't think he did any of us lasting harm."

Child welfare experts responded to Dawkins' remarks with outrage -- and concern over their effect on survivors of abuse.[/quote]
