Abuse

ChildLine's disclosure that far more boys now ring in complaining of sexual abuse by women should come as no surprise. The child abuse field, industry, or whatever you want to call it arose out of the feminist and homosexualist movements of the 1970s.

This is not to say that it has not done good. But it has concentrated heavily, indeed almost exclusively, on abuse by heterosexual men, with a view to banishing them from the socialisation of children. Abuse of boys by men only features when done by Catholic priests, almost always to boys who would be above the age of consent if the industry had its way. Abuse by women does not feature at all. But in fact, it may very well turn out that heterosexual men, possibly along with homosexual women, are the people least likely to abuse children sexually.

By contrast, women have an access to children in intimate situations that men very rarely have, while the homosexualist political movement is a product of a subculture defined by adult male abuse of adolescent boys. Female no less than the male homosexualist politics springs, it must be said, from those roots.

Based mostly on my experience on supply in schools up to a couple of years ago, I also suspect that there is now another huge problem still waiting to be exposed, if it ever is. I mean the sexual assault of teenage boys by teenage girls. I was truly horrified when I saw, as I did on quite a number of occasions, girls subjecting boys, who were extremely distressed by it, to really very serious indecent assaults, such as would rightly have caused the Police to be called if the roles had been reversed. Absolutely nothing was ever done.

Will it ever be? After all, today's ChildLine story mysteriously disappeared from Radio Four from ten o'clock onwards. Well, you can't lead into Woman's Hour with that. Can you?

  1. So why didn't you call the police?

  2. I have argued at length with people on whether a man can physically be raped by a woman as they "consent" physically.

    Also, todays society is such that I would never even think of stopping and talking to a young parent whose child is doing something funny in the way the older generation used to talk to children when I was younger.
