On Baby-Scr*wing

The latest news in the ongoing saga of Celebrity-Baby-Sex-Trafficker Epstein is:  "men's rights activist" Roy Hollander, chief suspect in the shooting of the son and husband of Judge Esther Salas, who was overseeing a lawsuit against Deutsche Bank, which was accused of not sufficiently vetting Epstein before accepting his money, has apparently killed himself.  I'm not sure how many suspicious deaths -- including his own -- are now linked to the infamous pimp.  The only question is just who is covering up all of his possible tracks and contacts.  Guesses have ranged from the Clintons to the British Royals.

Personally, I think it's the Mafia.  More than a century ago the classic Italian/American Mafia decided to quietly declare war on child-molesters, professional or private, and they've kept up with it ever since.  Subsequent organized-crime gangs may go in for child-sex trafficking, but the Mafia silently wars with them, too.  It's also well known that prisons are not safe for molesters, regardless of which gang rules in any particular prison.  This goes to show that, in America at least, whether you're rich and powerful or bottom of the heap, if you're a baby-scr*wer you're not welcome and not safe. 

One reason for this is that psychiatrists report having a dismal record at curing pedophiles.  It's what they call a "highly resistant psychopathy", and all they can recommend is to keep the pedophiles locked up for life.  The public seems to have quietly added another alternative: shoot them. 

In fact, I know of exactly two pedophiles -- both men, as the great majority of them seem to be -- who actually cured themselves of the compulsion.  Both of them managed to re-focus their sexual tastes into, if you please, BDSM -- starting as Bottoms, and eventually working their way up to Tops.  Both of them had been molested as children themselves, as a lot of pedophiles seem to be, and in both cases their original molesters mysteriously met with violent ends -- which may or may not have assisted in the cures.  Both of them had concluded that their original fixation on children came from frustrated misery over being victimized as children themselves.  This is an interesting contrast to those prisoners, most of whom were likewise molested and otherwise abused as children, who turn their fury onto any molesters they catch.  It's hard to say which reaction is healthier, for society or the individual.

One factor that I've never been able to track down is the age of the victims at the first molestation.  It would make sense that a very young victim would feel drowned in helplessness and would turn his misery back on himself or other children of the same age, while an older one -- say post-pubescent -- would have some idea of just whom to blame and how to get revenge.  In any case, the outcome of baby-scr*wing is always bad. 

This leads me to wonder about the general character of societies that allow, let alone encourage, baby-scr*wing.  Whether male or female, the victims will nurture a slow-roasting misery and rage that can express itself in a lot of dangerous ways throughout life.  Perhaps the rulers of those societies hope to profit from that rage, perhaps by using it to fuel armies of blindly vicious cannon-fodder, or perhaps by terrorizing their subjects into hopeless obedience.  Perhaps the tactic even works, for a time, but sooner or later it will turn on the victimizers -- usually in the form of treachery.  Baby-scr*wing societies -- I'll name no names -- are notorious for lack of internal cohesion, for their members turning on each other at the slightest excuse, for a lack of internal trust and loyalty, not to mention ready betrayal of outsiders.  In any case, a society -- as small as a family or as large as a nation -- which turns a blind or even approving eye on child-molesting cannot be trusted.

Perhaps it was historical experience in dealing with societies like these that have made Westerners in general, and Americans in particular, really hate baby-scr*wers.  It's no surprise that Epstein and his connections have been dying at a fast clip.  It will be interesting to see who goes down next.
