I'm sorry, but after a cursory search of the event I'm not seeing where it's "promoting" pedophilia. The event, in my limited understanding, seems to be more of an open talk about how Man-Boy love is a dubious behavior and practice in modern times, and how Man-boy love affected author Jean Genet.

If our reaction to everything outside of "the norm" is IIIICCCCCCKKKKK ---- we've already shut down all room to open up a tough, honest conversation. Might as well go back to surfing cat videos and Dank Memes.

Not that I agree with Men grooming/ raping boys, not at all. I'm just saying that I hope there were a few in that University of Michigan audience that stood up and walked out to show disgust, or at least ask some really tough questions about the subject:

Does the speaker think it is okay for a man to groom a boy? Does the speaker think that the "relationship" becomes okay once the boy "likes" it? Where does the speaker draw the line between "criminal pedophilia" and "romantic pedophilia" -- does the speaker think there is a difference at all???
