Take note! 89.9% of those convicted of sexually abusing children are white men. Pedophilia is both systemic – and systematically practiced - in white male dominated Christian institutions, (including the Boy Scouts, Christian churches, and private religious schools). About 80% of these sexually abused children are white boys – as young as four.

It is fair to ask, what if we measured the damage? Would we discover that sexually abused white boys forced into silence, grow up and express their pain in toxic masculinity? Would we discover that mass-shootings and domestic abuse are linked to a grandfather, father, or son who was sexually abused in a white Christian institution — then forced to remain silent? Would we discover the loss of trust in white Christian institutions spilled over into public institutions, including Democracy itself? What if these fears and suspicions are even partly true?

Personally, I have the awful feeling that toxic masculinity, domestic violence, mass shootings and rape are rooted in white Christian culture. I also suspect that conservatives’ obsession with “free speech” and “the 2nd amendment” stem from their unconscious need to protect themselves, from the evils hiding inside their own, white Christian culture.

Garrick, since I just paraphrased myself, I hope it is okay to provide the context as well. If not, let me know and I will delete the link.
