Too many people hold conflicting beliefs about attraction to minors...
- Against: MAPs are invalid - The idea of "valid/invalid" sexuality is questionable.
- Against: Pedophiles chose their condition - Like other orientations, pedophilia is not a choice.
- Against: Pedophilia is unnatural - How can an unchosen sexual orientation not be part of nature?
Popular anti-MAP sentiments and common human flaws go hand in hand...
- Self-loathing hatred - Violently anti-MAP sentiments are an example of "reaction formation".
- Parenthood and pedophilia - Somewhat similarly, parenthood structures perceptions of the "pedophile".
Human sexuality, including attraction to minors, is mischaracterized and misunderstood...
- Against: Cognitive distortions - The justification for this slur against pedophiles is a fallacious, circular argument.
- Against: Porn is the theory, rape is its practise - Completely unfounded belief that Child Porn causes offending.
- Against: The violent sexual predator - Now less common argument conflating MAPs' sexual interest with "violence", "psychopathy" or "reptilian" impulses.
