KINSEY LEGACY

A joint resolution to create the National Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month has been introduced by Senator Sam Brownback (R-KS), Mark Green (R-WI), and Carolyn Maloney (D-NY). The recognition of the increase in sexual assaults against women and children and in sexual trafficking of women is a significant goal of this resolution. “Sexual assault has serious and lasting effects on both the victim and their loved ones . . . wounds that can take years to heal. One of the first steps to healing those scars, though, is to educate our citizens, prevent the violence in the first place, and support its aggressive prosecution,” stated Senator Brownback. Alfred Kinsey believed that “all sexual ‘outlets’ are equal” that children and women are not necessarily harmed by non-consensual sex. He believed that removing the barriers to sexual promiscuity would result in less harm to women and children. Obviously instead of reducing the harm the upsurge in sexual “freedom” has produced tragic results and irreparable damage to women and children.
