Well, I think that's very presumptuous of you, and not entirely accurate.
It's probably true that there was lots of societal influence on my child self, but what I was talking about was not that "don't let men touch you" training. It's the self-check of thin-slicing -- that sense that even underneath what mommy taught me, it just didn't work for me somehow that this adult man was interested in intervening with my body. I rejected it as not working well for me at the level of the unconscious prime directive of preserving and maintaining my well-being, that translates in a little girl's mind as "ick" -- get away.
And, as I mentioned, I was glad to have societal forces aligned with my unconscious prime directive, and I'm fine with being that societal force myself now, as an adult.
I'm sorry you have a problem with societal forces that rob you of the right to have sex with children if you see fit, but I'm not sorry to actually be part of your problem.
