No it's the same thing, I can't help if some of you are slow on the uptake. The reason why I find it shocking seems to be the same reason some of you lot don't. Which is odd!

i.e. because it's rare (for a woman to commit such a crime) I find it shocking

Your argument implies rare occurances are not uncommon, which is by definition is nonsense.

So now you're arguing over something different, but well done, you are as good as your sig!

In the Penguin world the blokes watch the egg when the women go off for food.
Male seabirds in the Galapagos Islands wear themselves out feeding their chicks.
Studies show that male baboons make gentle fathers and do most of the nurturing.

That's why I said tend.

Anyway, if the police were looking for a pedophile, do you think a 30 something women working in a day nursery would be top of their profile?

They do criminal profiling you know, based on the usual traits of the said type of criminal. According to you criminal profiling couldn't work. BUT it does, explain that!

and let's not forget male seahorses...

You imply that they are the same when it comes to children. In nature which sex TEND to defend their young?

But why more disturbing that a woman was a kiddie fiddler? You implied that men and women are different!

How do you manage to get it wrong every single time?

Surely this isn't even mathematically possible?

I don't think I'm wrong, I think I'm coming up against the hard of thinking ;-) and/or those who like an argument

sasguru?

I said I find it more disturbing that a woman would do such a thing given the bond between women and children, the natural maturnal instinct, the desire to nurture, hence the reason why mainly women go into child care and the caring professions.

And 100s of years of academic study on the subject of evolution mean nothing to IT geeks. Men and women are the same, you heard it here first! They both have the same maturnal insticts.

No desire to nurture here, but no desire to hurt either. And 'y'know I wouldn't be surprised that 1 or 2 men do desire to nurture.

But they must be gay.

Sweeping generalisations come as standard I s'pose.

I didn't say one was better, why would I say that? I said I find it more disturbing that a woman would do such a thing given the bond between women and children, the natural maturnal instinct, the desire to nurture, hence the reason why mainly women go into child care and the caring professions.

That type of post could only come from someone who is childless.

Are you for real?

Maybe women YOU come in contact with aren't driven by their sexual desires, but a lot of us are.



One sexual abuser is as bad as another, regardless of gender. I dont get the distinction.

By definition it would have to be pre-puberty ...everything after would be "underage" although the WHO does have its own definition of a child being anyone below year 18


HTH

I'm sure this has been discussed here before. Conventionally pre-puberty = paedophile, and post puberty = pederast.

You got to ask yourselves this question : Why does Britain such a small nation in the world have the worlds most prolific serial killer (Harold Shipman) and a vast assortment of famous sickos throughout history i.e. Jack The Ripper, Peter Sutcliffe, Sweeney Todd, Fred & Rose West etc.

I think Gilles de Rais killed more people (children) than Shipman.
