I had a horrible thought when the Craig mess was going on, and all the slime was being directed at the gay community. My horrible thought was, it's not "Gay" sex for those married hypocrite in-betweeners, it's the men who dig the patriarchy benefits who insist on sex whenever they want it and how they want it, and who they want it with. Just like the assholes who buy little kids in Cambodia. (I wouldn't insult a retarded person that way though)
I don't believe this is precisely true, although I remember the days when male homosexual sex was touted as a "hypermale" syndrome. I also remember that to this day, homosexual men are murdered for being who they are, and also that homosexual males developed an underground culture to cope.
The child abuse statistics are an awful thing to debate. The thing about statistics is-- are adjustments made for women with custody vs men with custody? Or with actual time spent with the child(ren) Is it even possible? Men commit the far majority of sex crimes in every category --far greater than the statistical gender divide with child abuse and neglect.
This seems to be a decent site with recent child abuse stats.
