>Pretty much every study done by Rind for the last few decades has been categorically thrown out after his 98 fiasco
The '98 fiasco where a bunch of congressmen who don't even know what they're voting on and just vote for whatever their AIPAC handler tells them to, voted to officially say "I don't like this!" in response to a scientific paper which they didn't even have the capacity to understand, as highlighted by the congressman Brian Baird, who has a Ph.D. in clinical psychology, when he stated "fewer than 10 had actually read the study, and even fewer were qualified to evaluate it based on its merit"? That fiasco?
>The man is not considered to be a serious resource to the field
Why are his conclusions agreed upon by a large proportion of prominent psychologists?
James Cantor, PhD:
>The research is much more consistent with the conclusion that harm is caused instead by coercion, manipulation, secrecy, and by courting kids who already have problems, not the sexual interactions per se.
Michael Bailey, PhD:
>Indeed, the best scientific evidence suggests that the most typical experiences considered childhood sexual abuse may not be as harmful as most people think. Specifically, sexual activity that children engage in voluntarily (albeit illegally) with adults is nearly uncorrelated with undesirable outcomes
Jordan Peterson, PhD:
>Did you know that about 20 years ago the American Psychological Association published a paper showing that most people who were sexually abused as children recovered with very little psychological damage? This is an unsayable truth.
