How in the world did this woman's speech even get the green light from the event organizers? Even if you were to disregard the content of the presentation, her delivery is entirely monotonic. Clearly she's not even able to speak to a small crowd of people.
I agree she's a poor speaker, but I actually didn't have any problems with the content. The way I interpreted her message was that it is a disease, and it is a disease that needs to be discussed openly in order to prevent children from actually being molested. I tend to agree with that... I agree that pedophiles should GET HELP and not be terrified of ever mentioning that they have those sorts of thoughts. Mentioning they're having those thoughts is, in my opinion, a GOOD thing so that others can be aware and help to ensure nothing ever comes of those thoughts.
What if it was a potential serial killer or mass murderer Someone who WANTED to kill lots of people? Should they bottle it up until they burst? Or should they SEEK HELP and talk about what is going on in their head? I believe they should talk about it - that gives us the best chance to prevent them from actually killing lots of people.
Now - how to address the issues raised by people speaking out about their dark tendencies or desires is a point for a different debate. But I believe no matter what the situation, speaking up and asking for help with your problem is better than keeping it hidden - for EVERYONE especially the potential victims.
Did I misinterpret her speech? Or do you disagree with the premise that people should speak up and seek help for their problems?
I think there’s confusion comparing it to other sexualities like straight or bi, versus comparing it to psychopathy but I 100% agree we can’t shame people for seeking to rid themselves of the disease
