8. Newblog2011: 08/03/11 Parenting Magazine, August 2011
While I was waiting in the lobby of the ER on the evening of July 29, 2011, I read some of the August 2011 publication of “Parenting” magazine.
There was a lot in that I thought was bad; I took notes about what I had time to read and take notes about.
--There was an ad that had several pages to it. It was for some kind of product for babies and toddlers. On the first page, there was a picture of a boy toddler with his hands on his hips, looking rebellious. Across the picture, it said, in purple:
“I AM NOT A BABY.”
It seemed to me that the ad was meant to seem like an innocuous, cute ad, was meant to be portraying the interest that children have in being older and able to do more things than they are able to do as children.
The next page had the same sentence, “I AM NOT A BABY” across a picture of a tiny baby.
Off to the side of both pictures was the smaller text which ostensibly told what the ad was for. The text for the picture of the baby started off by saying “I am a newborn." It seemed to me that the entire ad was designed as a strategy to desensitize readers and to put them in denial about what the child molestation campaign has been about.
It seemed to me that the message of the ad was, first, that having sex with children helps them to do the grown-up things that they want to do, and second, that it's not really child molestation; I don't know how to talk about it now without being sarcastic, so here's me paraphrasing some of the message of the ad that way:
“That's not really a tiny baby; it looks like one, but it isn't. It's ok to have sex with it, because it's not really a baby. Also, it wants to be like its older, toddler brother on the previous page; if that thing that looks like a tiny baby knew what it wanted, it would want to have sex with adults. Go on and have sex with babies that have just been born and with toddlers, because toddlers aren't too young for it and babies aren't really babies.”
--There was an article in the magazine entitled “YES, take the kids THERE!” Supposedly, it was about places where entire families can go on vacation together. The picture on the first page of the article showed a man with his face in a bunch of grapes. I didn't look too closely at the article; it seemed to be telling people to go to one beach after another, and so on.
--There was an ad that showed a man kissing a woman on the side of her head, with his eyes closed, while the woman, also with eyes closed, kissed their newborn child in the same place on the newborn's head.
It seemed to me that perhaps that ad was created and/or placed in the magazine in response to what I wrote about female pedophiles on my Weebly blog on July 15, 2011. The ad seemed to be a visual insinuation of what I had previously written about, when I'd said that it seemed to me that perhaps a reason that there were more female pedophiles who have emerged as a result of what's happened over the past year than I thought there would be was that victimizing children to fulfill the sexual needs of adults is being presented to women as compensation for the losses that women have incurred as a result of the campaign to establish male dominance over the planet, and for the losses that women will continue to incur if the campaign continues. When I wrote that theory, it was to illustrate the destructive nature of what's going on, in which people are being encouraged to see other human beings as nothing more than sexual outlets. My opinion was, and is, that the hierarchy implied by the avidity which some women have shown in regard to child molestation is a bad hierarchy; the ad seems to be saying that it's a good hierarchy.
The name of the short blog page where I wrote a paragraph about my theory on that issue is:
“1. Newblog2011: 07/15/11 Female pedophiles: more of them than I first thought there would be”
When I wrote the blogpage, I was writing about heterosexual relationships; however, the real issue is about whom is considered and treated as a full adult, with full adult privileges and responsibilities, and, as far as children go, who ought to be protected until they can assume those privileges and responsibilities when they are adults.
At times over the past few months, I've wondered if one of the reasons that lesbians seem to be marginally more accepted than gay men in our society is that there isn't much in a lesbian relationship that is threatening to the terms of a male dominated power structure by having a man as the object of sexual desire instead of only and always being the initiator and the aggressor.
