Paidika, Pieterse, Monica, Interview, 1991
I thought it was important for society to listen to paedophiles; to hear and understand why they had sexual contacts with children, what they feel about children. I hoped society and paedophiles would come closer to each other and so the happiness of children, paedophiles and parents would increase. Parents often react panicky when they know their children have had sexual contacts with an adult. And their reaction is very bad for the child. I hoped they would react in a better way, when they knew more about paedophilia. So, I wanted to make visible a large group of paedophiles and see what things they had in common. I made a questionaire and had the interviews. The interviews were useful because they gave a background to the answers in the questionaire. They put the answers in the right perspective.

Painter, Kim, The Sexual Revolution Hits Junior High, USA TODAY , 15 March 2002
Picture the mating rites of middle-schoolers. Perhaps you imagine hand-holding and first kisses, girls trying out eye shadow, boys sneaking a peek at vulgar men's magazines.  
Now look again, through the eyes of increasingly concerned educators and experts:  
* Researchers in Washington, D.C., recently started a program to prevent early sexual activity. They planned to offer it to seventh-graders, but after a pilot study to
target fifth-graders -- because too many seventh-graders already were having sex.

"Pariah", CounterPunch, Scapegoats and Shunning; Sexual Fascism in Progressive America,  March 4 / 5, 2006
There is a class of people in America today, numbering two million or more, who have been utterly scapegoated, ostracized, demonized and shunned. [...]
About 600,000 of them have been rounded up and forced to register -- many soon to be monitored for life with electronic bracelets and global positioning devices. Nearly 4000 have been locked up for life, not on criminal charges, but by civil commitment, and those numbers are growing by the day. The remainder are mostly in hiding, desperately afraid of sudden exposure and witch hunts by neighbors, fellow-workers and friends, whom they fear will suddenly see them as monsters beyond redemption. 

Parris, Matthew, Child abuse, or a crime in the eye of the beholder?, London Times 20 January 2003 
Contrary to the spirit of the age, I think we should have a graduated response to those troubled by a sexual interest in children. [..]
I am unsettled by the application of the 1978 Protection of Children Act to computer images. [..]
The practice is a denial of the human rights of those thus attacked, and seriously corrupt. [..]
I am uncomfortable that it should be an offence to look at something. [..] 

Palmer, Alasdair, Silenced Wittness, news.telegraph (UK), 24/03/2002
THE disturbing case of Bill Thompson, a criminologist specialising in child abuse, and a police search for pornography. Why was his home raided when he has legal protection?

Pattaya Daily News, Contradictory stances on under-age sex and sexual exploitation;  December 16, 2006 
There has been yet another incident reported of under age prostitution reported in Pattaya, resulting in Western Human Rights Agencies such as the International Justice Mission crying exploitation, yet this whole controversy contains certain ambiguities. [...] If one considers the ethos of agencies such as the IJM, one can detect an element of hypocrisy underlying their professed aims. [...] Presumably the IJM are not familiar with the psychological 
phenomenon of projection!

[...] Erstaunlich ist die weitere Feststellung Prescotts, daß taktilnutritive Mangelerscheinungen in der Kindheit nicht zwangsläufig zu einem gewalttätigen Charakter führen, sondern daß sie wieder ausgeglichen werden durch spätere voreheliche sexuelle Aktivität. 

Percy, William A., In memoriam: Vern Bullough - Quotes from: Vern Bullough, our greatest Sexologist, dies at 77; The Gay & Lesbian Review Worldwide, 1 November 2006 
The GLBT community has lost its most effective advocate from outside the gay world. Sexologist, activist, nurse, and historian, Vern Bullough died from cancer on June 21st at 77. 
Facts are facts, and science is science, and no amount of wishing them away, no amount of
pressure or calumny, ever deflected Vern from his mission -- to learn the truth and communicate it to others.

Philips, Jim, Modern-Day Scarlet Letter; Leave the perverts alone; Jim Philips,  WESH.com, June 15, 2006
It's becoming the cause of the week, whether it's catching sexual predators on "Dateline" or putting up signs in the neighborhood to identify your local flasher. I'm starting to wonder what all the fascination is about? [...]
How about watching your children more closely? Keep your eyes open and leave the neon "PERVERT" signs at home.

PJS, Woman Who Had Baby With 14-Year-Old Boy Gets Probation; wtol.com, 12 October 2006 
Dawn Fisher, the 33-year-old Swanton woman who gave birth to a 14-year-old boy's baby, was sentenced Tuesday to five years in community control -- with no jail time. 
Even Judge James Bates admitted there's a double standard when men and women commit the same crime. 

Powell, Adam-John, Michael Jackson (1958-2009) 
The obituaries claimed Michael Jackson to have been a genius yet a complex and misunderstood character. I think they got it wrong. Jackson was neither a genius, complex or misunderstood. He attracted hostility but that is not the same as being misunderstood.

Primoratz, Igor, Sexual Perversion, American Philosophical Quarterly, 04/1997 
In both everyday and more theoretical contexts, the use of the term "sexual perversion" is plagued by considerable inconsistency and confusion. 
This paper explores whether this term has a reasonably clear meaning and can be put to use to some useful purpose. I take a critical look at a number of attempts by philosophers to capture its proper meaning and delineate its correct application, and argue that none have succeeded. In view of that, I suggest that we simply drop it once and for all, and get on with saying whatever needs to be said about human sexuality without first trying to have its varieties classified as either "natural," or "unnatural" or "perverted."

Principles of Non-Violent Warfare - Author & source unknown 
Non-violence begins with a non-violent attitude toward those who oppress us. 
Every successful revolution begins with a consciousness raising of the oppressed group. 
Demonization is always the rational by which dominant oppressive groups justify their violence against the oppressed. Demonization itself must be challenged. 
Members of the oppressed group who are able to network together should support each other in avoiding panic; they must try to assess situations as coolly as possible, and find ways to be as safe as possible, without giving up the struggle. 

PSVG Booklet, 1981: Pedophilia, Protestantse Stichting voor Verantwoorde Gezinsvorming
(Protestant Foundation for Responsible Family Development), The Netherlands.
This booklet is intended for everyone who wants to know more about pedophilia, but especially for those who actually deal with it. That includes primarily pedophiles themselves and the children with whom they are involved. Then there are the parents of the children, and the families of pedophiles. Because of present day penal laws, policemen, judges and public prosecutors are also confronted with this phenomenon. Social workers, too, are involved.
Quite properly, this booklet is also intended for children, but children who read this booklet will very quickly see that it is especially written for grown-ups. This is because 'pedophilia' isn't just a grown-up's word, but, in many cases, is a grown-up's problem.
