What exactly is wrong with pedophilia?
I mean this seriously, and no, I'm not into pedophilia and in fact the very idea of it has always disgusted me. But pedophilia has now become a giant topic and receives virtually universal condemnation, with the only people defending it being a little clique of weirdos with bizarre sexual proclivities.
Since pedophilia has been raised to the level of a top public concern now permeating national discussion, after just being some gross and presumably very rare thing that people felt was better off left undiscussed, I can't help but wonder: What is it about sexual arousal toward kids, and then going a step further, engaging in sexual activities with kids, that is so revolting to us and that we find not only morally wrong but perhaps the greatest evil that anyone can have in their mind or perform in their actions at an individual level (as opposed to the mass evils like unjust wars and democides that people rank as even worse than one instance of pedophilia)?
The ancient Greeks practiced pedophilia, including downright pederasty where adult and even elderly men had oral and penetrative sex with very young boys, and Greek society considered this not only normal, but had actual discussions about whether the "man-boy" relationship of pederasty was virtuous or somehow better than ordinary man-woman romantic love. So clearly the Greeks didn't agree with our instinctive and automatic revulsion toward pedophilia, and the Greeks are arguably the greatest civilization ever to exist, laying the foundations for all logical and eventually scientific thinking. All recorded thought prior to Greek philosophy was still "mytho-poetic" and mystical, like before the Axial Age and Greece's age of questioning everything, humans weren't even capable of thinking in the ordinary, rational, measured way that we just take as normal; or put another way, before the Greeks, there was no rigorous reasoning, or even proper reasoning, just mystical poetic intuitions about things.
