Anyways, I ask the question, "Do we have it easier?" based on a few observations I've made in society when it comes to MAPs. First, I noticed that the majority of people getting shit for being MAPs are men, and there's even a saying that goes "Not all men, but always a man" when it comes to cases of rape (or what society perceives as rape). Whenever there's a discussion around child "exploitation", it's most always centers around men who are sexually attracted to younger girls, and it's rarely ever about women who want to pursue young boys. Don't get me wrong, I know there has been instances where people "speak out" against female pedophiles, but those moments are few and far between when you compare them to the number of times you see people targeting the males of our community.
Secondly, because people are naturally more cautious of letting their children be around men than they are letting them be around women, I feel like if us female MAPs did (for legal reasons, I'm not endorsing it) want to pursue young children, it'd be a lot easier for us to gain guardians' trust for the sole reason that you rarely hear about a female "predator". Then there's the fact that women are usually perceived to be sweet and nurturing, which gives us an extra benefit when it comes to getting into contact with children. Just in general, our gender is reason enough for some people to let their guards down when it comes to trusting us arounds kids.
Now, I'm well aware that if people find out a certain woman is a pedophile, they're going to start hating her more than they hate Neo-Nazi's, which is just fucked up and unjustified. My Instagram algorithm gives me a lot of feminism-related Instagram posts/Reels, which sadly reminds me that in most aspects of society, women have the shorter end of the stick. Yet, in one of the ONLY circumstances where women get the upper-hand, it's of course a circumstance that's deemed "immoral" and "unredeemable", and unfortunately, western civilization isn't changing their opinions on us MAPs, male or female, anytime soon.
Anyways, those are just my thoughts. Do consider that I spend most of my life indoors and only leave my house for school or food, so my opinions are formed based on what I've seen on the internet. What do you guys think?
