A total of 7% of Canadians find pedophilia morally acceptable, according to a poll about social issues conducted by Research Co. .“There is a sizeable gender gap when Canadians are asked about same-sex relations,” said Research Co. President Mario Canseco in a press release..“While 65% of women find them morally acceptable, the proportion drops to 50% among men.”.The poll asked a representative sample of Canadians whether they considered 21 different issues morally acceptable or wrong. .It said three-quarters of Canadians think contraception is acceptable, and 71% feel the same about divorce. More than two-thirds feel the same way about premarital sex and having a baby out of wedlock. .More than half of Canadians consider various social issues morally acceptable: medical assistance in dying (58%), same-sex relations (57%), medical research using human embryo stem cells (55%), abortion (53%), and gambling (52%). .The poll said one-third deem pornography and prostitution acceptable. On each of these issues, it found men were more likely to have no qualms (40%) than women (24%). .Three-tenths of Canadians said buying and wearing clothing made from animal fur is OK — down six points since 2022. Fewer Canadians think two other issues related to animal welfare are acceptable: medical testing on animals (22%) and cloning them (20%). .Fewer than one-quarter of Canadians think five other issues included in the survey are fine: polygamy (21%), suicide (20%), using illegal drugs (19%), infidelity (18%), and cloning humans (11%). .This poll comes after a non-binary professor who said that calling a person a pedophile is stigmatizing was hired by Johns Hopkins University for its Moore Center for Prevention of Sexual Abuse in 2022. .READ MORE: Trans professor defends pedophiles as “minor-attracted persons”.“We are excited to share that Allyn Walker, Ph.D., will be joining the Moore Center as a postdoctoral fellow on May 25,” said the Moore Center..Walker wrote a book called A Long Dark Shadow: Minor-Attracted People and Their Pursuit of Dignity where they pushed the term minor-attracted person instead of pedophile..The poll was conducted online from May 12 to 14 among 1,000 Canadian adults.
