Postmodernism vs. Child Safety

The Alarming Spread of Postmodernist Thought

The alarming spread of postmodernist thought and the corrupted ideas, laws, and public policy positions it has spawned have caused many of us to try to ring alarm bells in public. Many of us have been shut down as dangerous 'Nazis', 'right-wing nutjobs', 'homophobes', 'bigots', or just plain hateful individuals despite the overwhelming evidence being there for all to see. If you don't believe me, take the time to consider the evidence, and then if you are not alarmed, you can call me whatever you like. But if you see what many of us have seen for a long time now, join us in this fight.

Postmodernism and Queer Theory: A Direct Threat to Child Safety

Postmodernism and its derivative, queer theory, have insidiously infiltrated academic and cultural institutions, masquerading as progressive ideologies while systematically dismantling the protective barriers that safeguard our children. These frameworks, under the guise of deconstructing societal norms, have become a Trojan Horse for predators and paedophiles, enabling the erosion of age-old boundaries established to protect the innocent.

Deconstruction of Age and Consent Boundaries

The pernicious mantras of "Love is love" and "Love knows no boundaries" championed by postmodernists are not mere calls for inclusivity but deliberate attempts to blur the lines of acceptable behaviour. By challenging the very notion of age of consent, these ideologues seek to legitimise abhorrent acts, effectively sanctioning the sexual exploitation of minors. The age of consent is not an arbitrary construct; it is a critical safeguard designed to protect children from those who would prey upon their vulnerability.

Grooming as an Ideological Tool

Postmodernist movements employ grooming tactics reminiscent of cults, systematically desensitising society to perverse behaviours. By normalising the unacceptable and promoting the indefensible, they condition individuals to accept, and even embrace, the erosion of moral and ethical standards. This calculated manipulation paves the way for predators to operate with impunity, cloaked in the veneer of academic legitimacy.

Complicity of Academics and Public Figures

Academics, politicians, and public figures who endorse or remain silent on these ideologies are complicit in this moral decay. Whether through willful ignorance or active participation, they facilitate an environment where predators can thrive. Those who enable these perverse doctrines must be subjected to rigorous scrutiny and held accountable for their role in endangering our children.

Real-World Consequences: Failures in Safeguarding

The theoretical underpinnings of postmodernism and queer theory have tangible, devastating effects on child safeguarding. A glaring example is the case of LGBT Youth Scotland (LGBTYS). In 2009, James Rennie, the organisation's former chief executive, was convicted for leading a child sex ring, one of the most heinous cases in Scottish history. Astonishingly, despite this egregious breach of trust, no thorough external investigation was conducted into LGBTYS's safeguarding practices.

Even more disturbing is the fact that BBC Children in Need continued to fund LGBTYS for 14 years following Rennie's conviction. It was only after another individual associated with the charity, Andrew Easton, was convicted for child-related offences that funding was halted. This pattern of negligence underscores a systemic failure to protect children, driven by a reluctance to scrutinise organisations aligned with postmodernist and queer theory ideologies.

Paedophiles are Mainly Heterosexual Men

It is imperative to distinguish between sexual orientation and sexual paraphilias, as conflating the two perpetuates harmful misconceptions. A prime example is the erroneous association of same-sex attraction with paedophilia - a baseless conflation that has been debunked by extensive research. Paedophiles exist across both sexual orientations, and evidence indicates that the majority are heterosexual men.

In Australia, data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics reveals that 97% of sexual assault offenders are male. Furthermore, a study highlighted by the Zero Abuse Project indicates that most child molesters are heterosexual. These statistics underscore the fallacy of linking paedophilia predominantly with homosexuality.

By perpetuating the false narrative that equates same-sex attraction with paedophilia, society not only stigmatises the Lesbian and Gay community but also diverts attention from the real profile of most offenders. Recognising that paedophilia is a distinct paraphilia, unrelated to an individual's sexual orientation, is crucial for effective prevention and intervention strategies.

Don't Hesitate, We Need To Act Immediately

Postmodernism and queer theory are not benign intellectual pursuits but malignant forces that threaten the very fabric of our society. They serve as enablers for predators, undermining the structures designed to protect the most vulnerable among us. It is imperative to confront and dismantle these ideologies, unapologetically reaffirming our commitment to safeguarding children and upholding the ethical standards that define a civilised society.
