I shouldn't have brought it into the conversation. That is correct. It is never appropriate to compare consensual adult relationships to non-consensual relationships. I don't know that there is a more fundamental human right than consent and the ability to govern one's own body. 11 minutes ago, JVW said: But if I said this instead, "Right now, there is pressure for women's ordination in the church. Let's say that was acquiesced to. Would there be no more policy changes desired from the church? What about the future when pedophilia (MAP) becomes part of the national conversation?" I'll stop you there. Why does one lead to the other? One deals with discrimination based on gender. One deals with discrimination based on the most fundamental human right of self governance. What parallels do you see that they need to be brought up in the same thought? I see none. And until I understand why you think there might be some parallel, no productive conversation can be had. 1
