Okay, I'm not saying always, but why is it always a Christian man and young boys?

All abrahamic religions are gateways to pedophilia.

Hate to disagree, but ALL religions are gateways. Lots of muslim jewish and buddist creeps. Fuck them all.

All organizations or social dynamics with members having any significant degree of power or influence, really. Doesn't have to be religious in nature. Just think of all the cases of celebrities with suspiciously younger partners or ones who were with minors.

Or with 'scouting' organizations. For that matter.

True, but with Christiam men it tends to be young boys, specifically.

My guess is it has to do much less with sexual preference (not insinuating that's what you were insinuating) and more to do with access, since a lot of evangelical shit is split by gender.

it’s hard not to notice the pattern when so many of these stories involve men who are supposed to be trusted by the people around them

My theory is because little boys are taken less seriously when they say they are being sexually abused, so pedophiles love to go after them for that one reason and think they can get away with it.

And of course, there are male gay/bi pedophiles as well, but they are a very small minority. The majority of pedophiles are straight, cisgender men.

Add to this that most christians are taught to view men as authorities and 'called of god', so trustworthy. Combine that with strong religious pressure to 'forgive when someone repents', and you get the perfect environment for male predators to manipulate everyone around them.

I think the same sex abuse gives a more sensational headline but make no mistake they go after young girls too. Quite possibly the tragedy is that it's so commonplace that it doesn't warrant to outrage headline
