If not cutting yourself...what the hell is a mental disorder?

Keep pushing your idea that there's no difference between child molestation and consensual sex between adults.
Every post clarifies your position; and may I say personally, it's disturbing.
This is not a "right-left" phenomenon.
And it has nothing to do with sexual orientation or gender identity.
Sorry, that absurdity will not be allowed to stand.
Actually...it will stand. You can say it isn't politics but the fact is (for a recent example) the left have no problem with a man using the women's room, etc. The left have no problem forcing straight people to give up liberties to allow gay people to do as they please. The right doesn't want nor stand for that. So if you think it has nothing to do with politics...fine. But everyone for these things are on the left and everyone against is on the right. Or so most people say.

YES.
That's just your own opinion though. Clinical definitions may not though based on how it effects the persons behavior.
A mental illness is typically something that causes distress in someone's life and causes them to act in ways that cause problems in normal living.
Which this might actually apply if it was impossible for these guys to experience sexual pleasure without some form of pain and humiliation.
But if it doesn't compel them to change their behavior then it would probably just be considered a fetish.
In either case it's just a label. I don't know what difference it makes here for the most part.

Ah ... so this furor is really about Trans* issues and not pedophilia?
Thanks for your honesty. Particularly considering that most notable child predators are Republican.
The Left wants EVERYONE to have their rights; wingnuts only want those they consider "the majority" to have theirs.
... and that just breaks the Right's little authoritarian heart.

Definition: Mental illness refers to a wide range of mental health conditions — disorders that affect your mood, thinking and behavior. Examples of mental illness include depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, eating disorders and addictive behaviors.
I think cutting yourself for sexual pleasure falls under that category. But maybe you don't. Maybe you don't believe that whacking off to a child is a mental disorder either...nor having sex with another of the same sex. Maybe you even think sex with livestock is just a fetish. Fine. But I disagree and I'd be happy to tell my daughters I consider these things sick. Can you tell your children how you feel?

What's the difference?
Well, I would explain it to you but like your Mother in Law you won't understand it anyway.
I do have some shiny new coins you can play with though!!

When was I ever talking about anything you just said??? I was talking about Grown men having a domination fetish in my example which is nothing like what you just said.
Don't start pushing your weird fantasies over to me. I never mentioned children or animals or anything like that you sicko.
Get some help.

You see! Annie thinks that cutting yourself is sane...just fine. Others consider pedophile of the mind just fine...nothing to worry about here.
So back to my comment. Many on the left think everything is just fine. Be who you are...NO MATTER WHAT.

Hey, you said all that stuff not me.
Maybe you should go back and read who said what. Those were your thoughts not mine.
Are you trying to say that because these woman worked in juvenile faccilities that this does not show you how woman are just as likely to be guilty of these sort of things. That somehow working in a juvenile faccilities changes this is someway exempting woman from this?
One thing is crystal clear. It completely denies your claim that the most woman usualy do is accidentally letting pornographip material lay around where children could find it. Reality certaintly is a far cry from that as is shown in this report.
everyone
Yep but it does include them. Combined with the previous report i linked you it gives you a lot more of a realistic look into things.
Also , you have your doubts just because a judge is more likely to give custody to woman? That also is a byproduct of the stigma that you perpetuate by automaticly assigning blame to men.
They find it surprising because the general concencus is that female do not commit these sort of crimes.
Now you are finnaly pressented with evidence to the contrary and now all of a sudden it is not valid because it is based on the witness acounts of men who had been abused as a child by woman.
