I was introduced to this article two years ago but just sort of let it rot in my bookmarks until just now. I don’t think my reading comprehension was all there when I read it just now, but it was an interesting enough thing about how sexual desire is socially constructed nonetheless. But I still want to further develop my understanding of pedophilia, to have my preconceptions refuted and my questions answered and so forth. Moreover I just want to see how leftist understandings of pedophilia have changed in the past 30 years since this article came out.
