I'm going to level here. I had a friend, not a close friend but a friend nonetheless, who got busted for having reams of CSAM on his computer. I never spoke to that fucker again. I certainly wouldn't be inviting him to the theatre or having dinner with ANYONE who had been in prison for being a pedo
But its all about protecting women and girls. But not "those" girls. Nice girls, middle class girls, only the girls who "deserve" protection.
