Possibly maybe you could add a thing about the GLogo and Alice Day since a few people (including me) saw it around and asked about it?

Otherwise, I would say it looks like most of the work is done on this :) Awesome job, by the way!

I think we should probably avoid cluttering this up too much with material related specifically to activism. Do you have any suggestions for how to integrate that information into the existing activism based question?

Maybe add one sentence about it being a day for political action and then maybe if you have one, add a link to a site with information about it?

Do you think you could link to the source for your claim that 33% of men are more aroused by children than adults? That seems way too high. Estimates I've heard are 1-5%.

That's based on Hirschman et al. (1995). I believe it was 31.5%, but that's off the top of my head. It's important to bear in mind that the Hirschman study was looking at arousal, not attraction. It would be unsound to conflate the two. Furthermore, we cannot discount the taboo factor contributing to arousal. Material from B4U-ACT (drawing on various studies) suggests the prevalence of primary sexual attraction to children in adult men is anywhere between 0.5% and 7%.

Just a quick question on the last two posts. Was that in response to the version of the FAQ in the OP, or was it in reference to the version 2 I posted later in the thread? I'd like to confirm if the updated FAQ clarifies these points enough.

My post was only in response to the one previous to it. I couldn't muster the energy to run through the whole thread. I'm currently recovering from a stress-related illness and extended reading is not my cup of tea at the moment. :(

I would've preferred to have just edited the OP to avoid this sort of confusion, but the forum doesn't let you edit after so long.

The second draft is near the bottom of page 2
