Yeah, I can see that as part of the equation. However, is it solely the the fact that the children can't consent, or is it also simply the fact that they are children....As in, is the only reason child molestation is bad is because the kids aren't old enough to fight back or make rational decisions? If so, then that changes statuatory rape (although I think that can be overboard at times). So if we decide that it is something more than just the consent problem, that the desire for children is in itself wrong, wouldnt that open the door to people saying that just as they're unnaturally attracted to children, gay people are unnaturally attracted to people of the same sex? Once again,not claiming this to be the case, but I hear this argument sometimes, and it is usually shot down as outlandish (which it may turn out to be), before any discussion is given to it.
