After Barbara Kay—a member of our team of columnists here at ProudToBeCanadian—got through all the extremely, um, shall we say “colorful” email following her last column, I would have thought she’d write about cotton candy this week just to give herself an easier week. But no, this one should generate a few, um, colorful emails as well.
I never perceived her as “meek”, necessarily, but lately she’s putting it right out there. I like her either way.
As usual, her column is located in our newly re-located Columnist section. Here’s a snippet:
To an adolescent boy, the sexual attentions of an older woman are perceived either as a flattering boost to burgeoning manhood or corroboration of already developed masculine self-esteem. A boy with a woman may have been exploited, but he is unlikely to see himself as a victim.
Conversely, the seduction of a child—male or female—by a man is always seen as the depraved action of a sick mind. Images of violence and aggressive rape revolt and anger us. We also know intuitively that pedophiles—virtually all male, you never hear about forced sex between a lesbian and a little girl—want sex, not romance, and with many children, not one.
