Two recent pieces discussing the epidemic of sexual abuse of children by men caused by men’s arousal by the abuse and rape of children.
Interview with Julie Bindel by Megan Murphy on Feminist Current where she discusses the commercial trade of children for sexual abuse by men in Rotherham. Julie’s main point is that the elephant in the room isn’t the race of the rapists in it’s their sex and the fact that society as a whole does not want to face up to the fact that a significant and growing minority of men are aroused by sexually assaulting and raping children. She points out that in her understanding the police do not care about child abuse particularly and were happy to be given an excuse to ignore the thousands of children being sold to men to rape.

Also an article in The Times today about the increasing numbers of porn addicted younger men who are now seeking out images of child abuse to masturbate to as they have become desensitised by chronic use of other types of pornography.

Where does this sick drive come from? It seems to transcend socioeconomic class, race and indeed every other classification of human beings other than that of sex. A significant minority of women are not doing this, a significant minority of men from every walk of life are. Why is it happening and how can it be stopped?
Julie advises pressuring the judicial system to prosecute these men properly and holding everyone from the police, to judges to prisons accountable.
The advice from the Times article:
Mr Bailey, the chief constable of Norfolk, told the Internet Watch Foundation (IWF)that a new generation was being drawn to child abuse imagery.
“We have got to start being very honest about this, we have got to start debating this more in public,” he said.
“We’ve got to start coming to terms with the fact that there are some appalling things taking place online that unfortunately the internet is probably the root of most of the evils.
“We have to start looking at that and we have to start genuinely asking the question, how much more are we going to tolerate?”
