Law & Order Advocates Lesbian Pedophilia
According to Tuesday night's Law & Order episode, on US State controlled network, NBC, it's okay to feel up your daughter as long as you're her mother, and you're teaching her how to be a lesbian. And if the child's heterosexual grandparents try to pass on their values to their grandchildren, the cops will arrest them for hate crimes.
In the episode, an 8 year old girl with two "mothers", is caught up in the criminal assault of a bullying Catholic school classmate, and in the midst of the investigation, and the natural of the two mothers' death, are found nude photographs of the child lying in bed with the other mother. And the child has disclosed to her grandparents that the woman had touched her, 'down there.' The surviving mother claims it was in the context of therapeutic massage prescribed by the child's therapist, along with lessons regarding shame, and body image. In the end, the grandparents apologize - after having been arrested - for trying to turn the girl against her "mother", as they counseled their Catholic school grandchild that homosexuality was a sin.
So let's get this straight. It's not about pedophilia, but rather, it's about world view? Isn't that exactly what pedophiles argue? Let's say we accept there were no sexual intentions in the therapeutic massage 'down there', even as the mother character tells the child, 'it would feel good.' Second thought, let's not accept there were no sexual intentions. How can there not be sexual intentions when we have the elements, massage, 'down there', and 'feel good'? Michael Jackson ring a bell? What happens when the child gets the hang of it, so to speak, and starts lusting after her mother? What then?
Are we so advanced as a culture that we're ready to start teaching our children about their bodies, and yes, call it what you will, but that show was about sex, with hands on lessons? Are there good reasons societal taboos against just that have been handed down for ages? It's pan human wide, this single common taboo, incest. I dare say, not even Margaret Mead's literature argues for it - if she did, I'll bet not very successfully. Apparently, it's the one taboo with which all cultures agree. But, according to Law & Order, they're right, and the rest of the entire, big wide world is wrong.
Otherwise, I don't get it. And if this was one of those "Ripped from the headlines," shows based on real events, it's even more disturbing. What the hell is wrong with the people over at that show? Not only are they advocating incest. They also advocate locking up relatives when their social values disagree with the State's, or at least, those of lesbian mothers. That show is the biggest load of Statist propoganda you could ever imagine, and it reads like an f'n 70s After School Special. Could they *be* any more transparent? To paraphrase Jerry Seinfeld, "Who *are* *these* people?"
I don't know. I guess it just comes down to two questions. One: Is handing down values, and world view a hate crime? Two: Is parental hands on sexual training healthy? At best, these are provocative. At worst, they're perverse. And, as in the show, the distinction between training, and abuse would be excruciatingly subjective, to the point of rather quite nearly impossible. Does this fact argue for, or against keeping the State out of personal life?
In the show, whether it was abuse pivoted on the fact the child didn't express anguish over her encounters until *after* her grandparents told her lesbianism was wrong, and so the State, interpreting the mere transmission of values as obstruction, arrested the grandparents. After the arrest, the show didn't even address the pedophilia, or incest aspect of it, but rather, only the world view clash aspect. The grandparents' charge of abuse is turned against them as charges of obstruction, and hate crime based on a subjectivity essentially not substantively different from groups advocating pedophilia as a lifestyle.
If there is any difference, it is a very subtle difference indeed. I submit, it's a difference much too subtle to leave to courts of law. After all, that's why they say the law is a blunt instrument. So I think the solution is, if you want to hands on sexually train your children, you better not let the State find out about it - unless maybe you're a lesbian, in which case, you get extra points if your child's father is gay, and you have a son for him to teach as well.
