This may be a hot take but if someone's attracted to children I don't think that's very politically correct and I think they should go to therapy to learn how to suppress that attraction.

It's been my personal experience that sexual attraction is a separate thing from acting on it. Like, I can find my friend's wife attractive, yet somehow I don't assault her or pressure her to have sex with me. Even if I found myself in a situation where we were alone and she was unable to resist me.

Even if she took some crazy aphrodisiac and wanted me, but I knew she wasn't really in control of herself, nothing would happen with me because I know it's wrong and I have self control. I can say for sure because I've been in a similar situation to that, but it was a woman who was desperate to control her sex addiction.

But I'm not a pedophile, maybe it's different for them.

Rape is a choice by the rapist, news at 11.

I am not making fun of you, btw, that is something basic that lots of people don't get.

How is that a hot take? Pedophilia isn't related to politics at all, its a mental disorder. It doesn't take opinion to judge its "correctness" as it is factually incorrect; as stated by DSM5 and other papers.

For once, you are right about something.
