There's a teenage disco once a month near my home.
Girls as young as 13 dressed in vertiginous heels and tiny dresses, necking as much booze as possible before going in.
My brother and I were passing one evening and found a very young girl, legs akimbo, close to passing out drunk, slumped in a doorway. This was about 8pm.
Was she in danger of being raped? No. Because my brother was horrified, and we took her phone, rang her parents and sat with her until they arrived. The normal, human reaction to a vulnerable child, I would have thought.
I'm not condoning the behaviour, I hate seeing young teens dressed that way - but not because they are inciting paedophilia, as some seem to think. Because they have bought wholesale the message that you have to be attractive, in a very narrow set of ways, in order to be worth anything at all.
I spoke to the police that night and asked them what they were doing. Nothing. The police officer described the disco as "a paedo's wet dream." They don't even call the kids' parents. Middle class area, middle class kids.
That cleric had me spitting feathers. Yes, early sexualisation (and the continuing fetishisation of sexual youth throughout life) is a massive problem, but what caused this particular case? Rapists. Men who believed they had a right to fuck children with impunity. The root of the problem is male violence, not what their victims were doing at the time.
