I hate pedos, and i don't like Oprah, but your point is correct. When I had children, I read everything I could find about pedos. I had encountered at least two of them as a child, so i knew they were real and dangerous.

Oprah's point is absolutely valid. A skilled pedophile can seduce a child and convince them, at the time, that what they are doing is good. This can cause even worse psychological damage down the line than a violent or crude attack, as the victim must reconcile two very different pictures of the world, and they don't just feel violated, they feel complicit.

As I said, I don't like Oprah, but she is not defending pedophilia here, but pointing out that it is a lot more insidious than most people realize.

Anons need to be careful to keep comments of others in context. What Oprah is talking about is true, which creates such confusion in the victims, like their body betrays itself. And if the abuser and victim are both male, them there victim has been aroused by another male, so he begins to think he is gay, and the confusion escalates.

Edit to add: I'm not saying she is or isn't a pedo, but people need to find real evidence rather than take something out of context.
