re: #90 Obdicut

But why do you feel there are more sexual crimes than in the past? Is it just your gut telling you that, or do you have actual data

The changing attitudes towards women alone would make me think the exact opposite, or rather, would make me think we classify a lot more things as crimes now, but those very same things happened in the past with great, great frequency.

I wish I could say it was more then just a gut feeling but it isn’t. But I’m old and I’ve been paying attention. I’m not saying that hormones in the water cause all sex crimes but it can’t be helping our children to get doses of hormones while they are maturing.

And I think some of the things we have done with sex crime laws are ridiculous and go too far.
