3 reasons we’re losing the war on pedophilia — and 4 ways you can fight back

What you can do
If you’ve read this far, thank you. You’re the kind of person who wants to get something done.
I’ve given you three contributing factors. Now here are your marching orders — in reverse order.
1. Face your revulsion
Being disgusted by pedophilia is a wholesome and natural instinct. But that doesn’t mean you should avert your eyes. Look at that feeling objectively now, so you’ll have the courage to face it when someone you love needs you to.
2. Face the tribes-before-truth problem
Identify your own tendency to excuse some while rushing to judge others. Don’t let yourself off the hook. Most of us won’t have to make legal judgments — but your ability to face the truth will matter in what comes next.
3. Do your part to stop the ideas that groom
Here’s John Manly again:
“No one was mandated by law to go to Epstein Island. But you are required to send your children to school. Parents in many cases have no choice. And if you get the wrong teacher, that’s just too bad.”
Get your kids out of public schools. Make a stink at your local school board. Write letters to advertisers. Complain at your local library.
Once you start looking, you will see endless opportunities. The propaganda of the sexual revolution is everywhere. That means there are unlimited opportunities for you to do something constructive about this grooming atmosphere.
4. Reach out to victims
Anyone can do this.
If you know someone who has been sexually victimized, reach out. Ask how you can help. If you dismissed or shunned someone in the past, reach out and apologize.
It’s a matter of justice. It’s a matter of kindness. And it’s simple common sense.
Because honestly — do you really expect the most powerful people on earth to come clean if you and I won’t do our part?
