I've met two very intelligent women (That don't know each other) that for most things have very reasonable opinions.
But throw "child abuse" and it is like telling a robot to hide in a corner in a round room, they just break and if they could they would pass laws about instantly killing suspects of child abuse.
When I try to argue with them of how "x" or "y" is bad idea because of its side effects, they always reply: "I don't care, EVERYTHING is worth doing to protect children."
And then I understand why so much politicians use "for the children" rhetoric when they want something.
I prefer "well intentioned but misguided", "worked up by a sensationalist media that obscures the fact that kids are safer than in the 'idyllic' 1950s", etc. theories.
