Whole systems rely on- not science- but attitudes and beliefs. Including a set of beliefs called pas/pa. If one's world view is that women and children are just on earth to serve men- sexually and otherwise- it is criminally easy to rape ,murder and pillage- one "believes" one is "right". Belief systems are notoriously hard to -change- try convincing someone who believes in God- that there IS no God- or vice versa- ! Good luck !<br />Yes- pedophiles are just broken- what about a Thatcher- (Canada-murderer) or- a serial rapist- or a wife beater- .I personally witnessed a wife-beater-he tried to kill her-SAY to a social worker- whom the victim had called- for help- or the police had called (don't know) say- when asked if hebeat her- replied "She needed it" .Social worker did not respond- and nothing happened- except- he kept on-of course.I applaud those tv programs ,for raising consciousness-guess enough people don't watch them- (isn't a rook - a crow ? !) no insult intended- just an obsewrvation)Cold North Windhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05404572631476598133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5553602902690267391.post-5506376989671805922009-11-19T11:25:28.170-05:002009-11-19T11:25:28.170-05:00Psychologists, "lawmakers" (legislators)...Psychologists, "lawmakers" (legislators), lawyers, etc. don't get it because it's really not as simple as this 'blog post implies.<br /><br />Abusers abuse for a reason, and in the long-term, it is in society's best interest to question why.<br /><br />TV shows (such as the ones you used as examples) necessarily oversimplify and dramatize situations to make them more appealing to viewers. "Even tv land knows THAT." What we see on TV is entertainment. There is an entire science behind criminology, and we know that all abusers are not mindless animals with no hope of rehabilitation.<br /><br />Except pedophiles. Those people are just broken. :)<br /><br />-RookRookhttp://www.facebook.com/RookNYCnoreply@blogger.com
