KT, Maybe it's not my comprehension. Perhaps you were ambiguous and your point was irrelevant unless interpreted the way I interpreted it. Perhaps, I was not clear the first time. The difference between pedophilia and sexual assault with post pubescent minors (regardless of sex) is relevant because of different public perceptions about the degree of the crime and actual differences in the law in some places. If you want to report honestly, you give the percentage of each. If you want to maximize the damage among to the institution you call them all pedophilia. That's just a simple fact and obvious bias and agenda in the reporting. I agree there is no difference between male and female abuse in either category (and no one anywhere suggested otherwise - not even in the liberal media) other than potentially understanding the cause of the problem. If you want to understand the problem, you report the breakdown of each. If you want to avoid discussing the problem because it conflicts with your politics, you avoid talking about the much lower number of female cases. That's just a simple fact and obvious bias and agenda in the reporting.
