Paedophilia is not progressive
25 November, by siawi3Now that safe spaces and universal acceptance have become the norm, it is fashionable to tolerate all kinds of proclivities and inclinations in the name of diversity. But until recently, we respected the nebulous line that faintly dissects the parameters of what we consider to be good and evil. Not so today, where there is a growing campaign to destigmatise everything, even if doing so requires us to unpick the moral fabric of our society.

Parfois face au manque de réactivité de l’institution, j’ai été tentée de tout lâcher et de m’isoler mais étant aussi femme et mère avertie, je résiste pour l’avenir de mes filles.
