I agree with you to a certain extent but sexual harassment and sex crimes would exist with or without capitalism and so both must be dealt with on their own terms, but the combination of the two must definitely be considered because they overlap heavily. I think your position is basically frustrated that the two are dealt with in a way that demonizes sexual harassment and sex crimes but gives capitalism an eternal pass, but you can still be open to hating both together and separately.



I'm really not trying to white knight priests and religion but I think the general perception that the priesthood attracts pedophiles is based on the reporting of pedophiles in the Catholic Church, which is really more based on the the Catholic Church covering up crimes from the top which feels like a betrayal of what people think religion should stand for and so it gets coverage in the same way that political corruption does. You'd need to look up actual statistics on priesthood pedophilia rates vs. rates of pedophilia in the general population to make the statement you're making though I'm not arguing that it would come up 50/50.
I don't think there is a proper statistic on this yet. Just as there isn't a proper statistic on sex trafficking, though there are better statistics on that. This is kind of a new thing that we are discovering.

I really don't want to do research on a half-cocked point when it's not really a hill I'm willing to die on.

Lucem, you're right, it's silly to talk about what I would or wouldn't do IRL. Glad you brought it up. Maybe you should write an instrumental about it. I recommend a piano paired with a clarinet. With ambient sounds of you hanging from your shower curtain you ****ing failure.

Art Is Dead. Buy My ****.
