    People who were sexually victimized during childhood are at higher risk of arrest for committing crimes as adults, including sex crimes, than are people who did not suffer sexual or physical abuse or neglect during childhood. However, the risk of arrest for childhood sexual abuse victims as adults is no higher than for victims of other types of childhood abuse and neglect.

    However
    The vast majority of childhood sexual abuse victims are not arrested for sex crimes or any other crimes as adults.

    Mix that with a society that consumes copious amounts of growth hormones in milk and meat products and has girls reaching physical sexual maturity at younger and younger ages and you're bound to have men attracted to younger and younger girls. It's a natural conclusion.

    Correlation =/= causation.
    Males of any species prefer young females because they're the healthiest.
    Girls tend to start puberty when they accumulate enough body-fat to support a baby. The reason girls are starting puberty younger is much more likely because of increased obesity rather than growth hormones in milk -- there's always been tons of growth hormones in milk, for the calves. That's why you have those 17 year old Chinese gymnasts who haven't had a period yet - their body fat is too low.

    Just thought I'd point those things out. It's not a natural conclusion at all.

    You clearly pulled that number out of your ass. People can go through all sorts of trauma and lead fairly normal lives after. Kids are especially known for being able to "rebound" from trauma.

    Being sexually abused doesn't make you somehow less-human and less capable of being "normal". This is a stereotype that's more damaging than you realize.

    I know that companies like Asus have 3 year warranties on motherboards and video cards, AMD has a 3 year warranty on their processors, and companies like OCZ have Lifetime Warranties on RAM, SSD's, and PSU's.

    Your assumption that I'm female just shows how much of an ass you really are. It's possible for men to be empathetic to feminist ideology from a respect (that you obviously don't have) towards women.

    Your blatant acceptance and preaching of stereotypes is offensive to me as a human being.

    Do I need to spell out that

    women have their own kind of logic

    Are you ready to spend your money on her clothes, clothes and clothes?

    Most women are bad at controlling their spending, so it stops only when your wallet is empty and your c/c is overdrawn.

    There will be of course need to get "many" children (as if you need any) and don't you say "no" to that.

    Are all just dripping with misogyny and stereotypical sexism?

    a man may need a woman occasionally

    Objectification much? I don't know about you, but I think of women as other human beings with feelings and such, not just a tool to fulfill a need, a disposable commodity like a razor that you chuck in the trash when you feel it's too dull.
    And yes, I am arguing that women are identical to men in their ability to be individuals.

    Guess what: Y chromosomes don't make you more logical or fiscally responsible, ass.

    Church leaders have lied cheated and stolen to support their agenda. The organization has a longstanding harrassment policy against it's detractors. They are extremely good at abusing the legal system to their ends and mostly getting away with it. Other groups most certainly do not come anywhere near the level of abuse that the Roman Catholic Church does

    It's all the same, I'm not just singling out the Vatican. When you live beside a mushroom plant for most of your life, you forget about the smell. Scientology is just the new manure repository.

    We're all born human, is what I more or less meant. The problem is that we aren't all born with the same default settings; some of us might have bad drivers and loose connections. They're still equally human, just not on the same platform. It's poetic speech, not a fallacy.
