Das Engagement für die Rechte sozialer Minderheiten sieht sich immer stärkerer Kritik ausgesetzt. Es gehe bloß um "Identitätspolitik", die an einem nachhaltigen gesellschaftlichen Wandel nicht interessiert sei. Das sind Folgen eines poststrukturalistisch geprägten Theorie- und Politikverständnisses. Die Rolle der Sprache wird übermäßig betont - die soziale Realität gerät in den Hintergrund. Diese Entwicklung wird in allen Feldern der Antidiskriminierungs- und Menschenrechtspolitik unter dem Modewort "Intersektionalität" forciert. Dieser Sammelband befasst sich mit den Auswirkungen, die sich für queere Politik ergeben. Mit 10 Beiträgen und ihren Autor_ innen, die exemplarisch dafür stehen, dass nicht jede_r den Glauben an die Kraft kritischer Analysen und Auseinandersetzungen begraben hat
Although emotional congruence with children (ECWC) is a risk factor for sexual offending against children, its conceptual validity has hardly been researched. This study aims to explore the construct of ECWC by evaluating the factor structure of the Child Identification Scale (CIS-R) and its relation to facets of sexual preference and child sexual abuse behaviors. It was hypothesized that the measure comprises consistent subscales that are differently associated with aspects of sexual preference and sexual offending against children. CIS-R data of a sample of 217 adult male pedophiles from the community were used for an exploratory principal component analysis (PCA). Group comparisons and a multinomial logistic regression analysis were conducted after including a non-pedophilic control group of 22 adult men. PCA revealed a three-factor solution for the CIS-R accounting for 30% of variance. Group comparisons found differences in overall scores and the factor labeled "Attachment to Children" between subgroups of sexual age and gender preference, but not between contact, online, and non-offenders. The regression analysis showed a pedophile sexual preference and the interaction between a hebephile sexual age preference and the factor "Attachment to Children" being associated with past offending behavior. The results indicate a wish to attach to children as core feature of the CIS-R measure assessing ECWC. It is discussed whether this is an inherent feature of pedophilia or rather an independent aspect being differently distinct in pedophiles.
