ā3. I agree that for the vast majority of children, sex with adults is neither wanted nor joyfulā
Ergo one would assume he thinks for some it is. Isnāt that statement what the Ć½oung folk would call problematic?
He goes on to mention some friend of his who was shagging older men when he was 9. Peter thinks that it was fine because his friend looks back on the memory fondly.
He wants to lower the age of consent. He claims itās because a 14 year old shouldnāt be criminalized for having sex with a 14 year old. Fine. I agree. But thereās already romeo and Juliet laws that deal with this issue.
I also skimmed an interview he did with a 13 year old who was seeing a 23 year old. Discussing the chap shagging old men as a 9 year old. Disturbing stuff. He kept saying how normal and well adjusted the boy was. Basically saying look itās done him no harm.
The stuff about that letter being edited sounds like bollix as well. He claims it was defending free speech in a book. Thatās grand but the book was advocating that grown men shagging 8/9 year olds is fine because they do in papa new guinea. The whole I donāt condone adults having sex with kids thrown in at the end comes across as very disengenuos.
From the same letterā¦He got tricked in to writing a chapter for a paedophile advocacy book ā¦
"The critics also cite the book, Betrayal of Youth, to which I contributed a chapter. I had no idea that it was involved in paedophilia advocacy when I was asked to write my essay. The book was published in about 1985 ā three decades ago.
When I was invited to write a chapter in 1982, I was told it was a book about childrenās welfare and rights. I was asked if I could write about the age of majority and age of consent. I was told that the other contributors were Ken Livingstone and child psychologists etc. It seemed an innocent and reasonable request at the time. But I was clearly tricked."
@Tank in defending paedo apologist shocker because a few looney lefties he aligns with said heās A1 and a party he doesnāt like called him out for what he is.
If you canāt see through Tatchellās attempt to rewrite history and gaslighting youāre a bigger dope than you sound.
I donāt think o gorman has much to answer for in this instance. FF FG Sinn fein etc have history of rubbing shoulders with unsavoury types in the past and being pictured with someone isnāt a crime. The more I read about tatchell the more of a creep he seems though.
The Oirish are mesmerised by a posh accent. Itās like the time the Brits ruled Ireland with two lads with posh accents and shillelagh sticks in Dublin Castle
Iāve been looking further into this Tatchell character. I think @enrique and @alf_stewart are probably right that heās re-writing his past a bit. He has an obsession with the idea that some of his mates lost their virginity below the age of consent and turned out ok. He was going on about it for years, heās learned to shut up about it now. Itās weird shit.
On the other hand, heās a big deal in the UK. He was a Labour for MP at one stage and has had his picture taken with plenty of people.
Peter Tatchell says wanking might prevent coronavirus
You get the idea. I think targetting Roderick OāGorman is homophobic if youāre going to let these other lads off the hook. Check out GOD refusing to call Roderick OāGorman kissing his BF a real kiss.
You can just imagine what this John Connors talk is going to be like - all the filthy degenerates at the Gay Pride Parade, a parade for paedophiles and freaks, they wonāt stop until weāve all been dragged down to their level, etc.
I think thereās a lot of sanctimonious cunts going after Barry Cowen this week as well and the country is losing a bit of what makes it nice.
With the likes of Norris and Thatchell there must be some element of them growing up in a repressive society but then finding themselves as heroes amongst academics and the likes. They missed out on normal teenage life really and you hang onto that.
They end up going down rabbit holes of what society was like thousands of years ago and getting themselves into trouble. Thereās always a certain freedom to say what you like in those environments and thatāll be accentuated by growing up in a repressed environment and now having that kind of freedom.
