Here's what I don't get regarding the "normalisation" argument:
Considering the scandalous stories widely published across the world concerning child sex in the media, in organised religion, in school sports, and in other areas, that are met with such widespread disapprobation and disgust, how can anyone except those so stupid as to be considered legally incompetent to operate anything more sophisticated than a doorknob, ever think that such activities are "normal"?
I mean, someone who acts like child sexual abuse is normal is bound to come a cropper eventually (more like pretty damn soon I reckon). Yet most paedophiles, I assume, attempt to hide their activities. Which implicitly says that they don't view their activities as normal, even if they refuse to admit the same to themselves.
