I know this is happening, I’m just not convinced that it’s so widespread. If it’s “part of growing up” (r”l), most of us would’ve been molested, or at least knew more than a few victims of molestation. And if that were the case, nobody would deny the problem. The reason so many don’t believe it must be because it’s NOT widespread, and surely not as widespread BY FAR as among the goyim, or the Catholic clergy with their crazy curse of celibacy. This is simple common sense. Seeing abuse everywhere is just as foolish as seeing it nowhere. I’m all for your crusade, but don’t exaggerate, please, and have a little respect for our rabbonim and mesorah. No, we are not like them. (I’m not referring to those who watch goyishe shmutz, of course. Even if they’re “frum”, they’re human. Looking at shiksas or worse is not exactly conductive to kedusha.)
