Our Culture's Sick Obsession with Children and Sexuality
By Laura Hollis
December 15, 2022I'll start with a point made by writer Sam Thielman in an opinion piece for NBC News online two years ago. The country was up in arms about the film "Cuties" being broadcast on Netflix. The movie featured 11- and 12-year-old French girls in a dance competition; their performances included twerking and other sexually provocative moves while wearing skin-tight costumes.
Thielman dismissed the outrage as nothing more than "a cynical ploy" by "the pedophile-obsessed American right, driven by QAnon."
It should be clear at this point that anyone concerned for the well-being of children, regardless of their political persuasion, has good reason to be shocked and outraged about the disturbing amount of pedophilia in the country, as well as sex trafficking at the southern border, and the pervasive obsession with immersing children in sexual content generally. But many of our cultural gatekeepers share Thielman's condescension.
Every week brings more headlines about children being exploited, abused, manipulated or exposed to material that they lack the intellectual and emotional maturity to understand or process.
"This is abuse. And yet when these instances are exposed, the media jumps not to the defense of the children, or their distraught and irate parents, but to the defense of the abusers."
