"...to significantly decrease our rates of male violence,
we must begin to treat American children as a precious national resource
rather than a commercial market...The brutality of everyday life continues
to confirm the necessity for caring men and women to confront inhuman acts
that cloud and prevent wholesome development. Much of what is defined as
sexual 'pleasure' today comes at the terrible expense of girls and often
boys. To walk Times Square or any number of big city playgrounds after
dark is to view how loudly the popular, throwaway culture has trapped,
corrupted, and sexually abused too many of our children."
--Transforming a Rape Culture,
Buchwald, Fletcher & Roth, 1993
