VERSION|0.5.1|NAME|Dinah|DATE|1359155416|CONTENT|The Catholic Church has spent the last two thousand years or so trying to suppress and repress human sexuality. Its attitude is fundamentally misogynistic, with a fear and loathing of sexuality in general, but particularly female sexuality.  That is one extreme.  The other extreme is allowing children as young as seven or eight to watch hard core porn, with women being degraded and dehumanised in all sorts of ways.  It seems that adolescents are being affected by this material into believing it represents normal sex.  Girls under the age of consent are being intimidated into having sex and performing sex acts, even to the point of allowing themselves to be filmed on mobile phones.  Neither extreme has anything to do with helping girls and women to value themselves, be independent and enjoy their sexuality by having the confidence to make their own decisions about when and with whom to have sex.  Both extremes have everything to do with treating females as commodities, to be exploited by men, be they celibate priests or men seeking sex with under-age girls  sometimes of course the celibate priest and the paedophile will be the same person.  It is very sad that feminism has been twisted and corrupted in such a way that young girls now feel they have to degrade and abase themselves in order to be considered normal by their peers.|IP-ADDRESS|79.71.126.151|MODERATIONFLAG|
