The NY Times today reported on the explosion on the Internet
of images of sexual abuse of children. Research is beginning to suggest that
the predilection that leads to this kind of abuse begins in the womb.
This made me wonder if the predilections of Donald Trump,
Harvey Weinstein, Jeffrey Epstein and Bill Cosby also began in the womb.
Perhaps there is a predilection spectrum and we all get locked in on our place
on it while we are still in the womb.
That aside, it still seems to me that entertainment media
present, as normal, sexual behaviors that are appealing scenarios and fantasies,
which rarely have a “do no harm” component. We are not a culture that
particularly admires self-discipline, integrity and the well being of those we
impact.
