Pedophiles, at the risk of oversimplification, can either have very entitled traits and/or very non-entitled traits, meaning centered. 3 out of 4 pedophiles choose not to abuse children. Who is your average pedophile, in terms of centering? The progressive, modern guy. Introverted, in a controlled way. We end up having stronger self-control than our non-pedophile peers...Think the guy who is quiet around children, in a gentle parenting way.'
My understanding as an advocate is that predatory pedophiles have these traits in common:
- Sexually entitled attitudes towards children, or other child hating characteristics
- Lack of self-control
- Ideological/religious belief that abuse was okay
The third is the most important, and this applies to all parents in relation to children. It is the individual choice of the pedophile to submit to the needs of children. Non-offending pedophiles are the reverse of these traits.
Someone with strong self-control cannot be controlled. They won't let you, even if they do. This goes for all adults, not just pedophiles. If you defend your right to abuse a child in any way while identifying by a sexual attraction to children, you a parent, not a pedophile. A pedophile who admits themselves fully to me is, at worst, a struggling/regret abuser.

Any comment that
1. Endorses child abuse (including pornography of such)
2. Imposes want to the point of imposition, meaning entitlement.
3. Contains self-entitled parent rhetoric, to the point of self-victimization
will not be published. Flexible application. Debate is allowed, but only civil arguments that presume the best of intentions in their opponent, on both sides.
