Judith A. Reisman

From Free net encyclopedia

Judith A. Reisman is the president of Restoring Social Virtue & Purity to America (RSVPAmerica) that distributes material that criticises modern sexual viewpoints and sex education based on Alfred Kinsey's work. She also lobbies against pornography, and alleges that there is a large-scale effort by "establishment media" to "recruit" children into homosexuality. Since the late 1980s, she has extensively criticized Kinsey and the Kinsey Reports. Her publications have been frequently distributed and funded by conservative organizations, and used as arguments to reduce funding for sexology, which, Reisman claims, is not really a science but a cover for pro-homosexual/pedophile campaigners to obtain funding.

She holds a Ph.D. in Communications.

Criticism of Alfred Kinsey's work

In the book Kinsey, Sex and Fraud, Reisman claims that Kinsey employed unrepresentative proportion of prison inmates and pedophiles to obtain data about child sexual behavior. This was not a novel accusation, however. A 1948 American Statistical Association report entitled Statistical Problems of the Kinsey Report on Sexual Behavior in the Human Male concluded similarly. Kinsey's colleague Abraham Maslow also pointed out the bias inherent in people volunteering information.

Reisman's novel contribution is the suggestion that parts of the elaborate descriptions that Kinsey et al obtained by inmates and sex offenders of the children's sexual behavior ("gasping, eyes staring", "groaning, sobbing, or more violent cries, sometimes with an abundance of tears") as evidence that the children were tortured against their will. The documentary "The Children of Table 34", produced by the conservative Family Research Council, purports to tell the story of Dr. Reisman's discovery of Dr. Alfred Kinsey's systematic sexual abuse of 317 male children".

This claim is denied by the Kinsey Institute, who point out that the diaries containing these quotes were written long before the research was started, and that Reisman has had access to the material showing this. See Kinsey Reports.

Based on claims about Kinsey's personal sexual conduct, Reisman concludes that Alfred Kinsey deliberately promoted a pro-sexual agenda which since dominated American schools and media. This, she argues, led to a massive increase in sexual diseases, and that the public was convinced that homosexual and pedophile sexual behavior are harmless.

Activism against homosexuality

In Crafting "Gay" Children, Reisman claims that homosexuals are trying to recruit children through schools and the mainstream media, attempts to link homosexuality with pedophilia, accuses Kinsey of abnormal sexual practices, and attributes his early death to excessive "self-abuse" (masturbation). She alleges that the only correct response to homosexuality is "recovery" such as the "therapy" offered by the International Healing Foundation. Based on the links she sees between homosexuality and pedophilia, she states:

And, as there is, on the evidence, a definite connection between homosexuality and the myriad pathologies, including pedophilia, schools and youth organizations should be legally liable for allowing bi/homosexuals any authority or influence over children. This is a sure way to severely limit the traffic in child pornography and prostitution.

Activism against pornography

Dr. Judith A. Reisman directed a two year content analysis of Images of Children, Crime, and Violence in Playboy, Penthouse, and Hustler for the Department of Justice. According to the peer-reviewed study findings, each issue of Hustler averaged 14.1 children and pseudo-children alongside 47 images of crime and violence: 52 percent of child photos were sexually explicit and most cartooned children were sexually violated. She also claims that in 1978, Hustler published photographs of naked children as young as three-years of age alongside an article, "Children, Sex, and Society", advocating an end to age of consent laws, calling for acceptance of Adult-Child sex, and legalization of incest. Other documented findings were:

• February 1975 in an article named, "Adolescent Fantasy" an uncle is photographed sexually with his niece.
• October 1976 a naked girl scout is photographed soliciting sex.
• In August 1981 a nude young girl is photographed with her dolls, saying to the viewer, "You would be surprised what a little girl can do..."
• The longrunning Hustler cartoon Chester the Molester depicted in 1977, a man lying in wait under a playground slide for a child to sexually assault. In October 1977 the kidnapping and torture of three girls about four years old is depicted. In February 1979, a car, with a "Just Married" sign is shown driving away with blood-drenched aborted babies attached to the bumber.

Reisman offers this observation on nude beaches and nudism:

The majority of the pedophile images that we have, the majority of the child pornography that we get out of the United States of America comes from nude beaches.

Miscellaneous

Since August 27, 2005 Reisman's official site, http://www.drjudithreisman.com, links from the front page and from the reference page to the anti-globalist site of Henry Makow, http://www.savethemales.ca, apparently endorsing it. Makow's site contains the following claims:

"I would like to be proven wrong, but in the case of Protocols, the "forgery" argument is propaganda." (Protocols Forgery Argument is Flawed, December 14, 2003, http://www.savethemales.ca/000298.html)

"The ACLU is a Communist front dedicated to abolishing the United States and establishing a totalitarian world government. They are following a satanic blueprint laid out in "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion." ("Protocols of Zion" is the NWO Blueprint, August 31, 2003, http://www.savethemales.ca/000205.html)

"The government pleads impotence in the face of the "terrorist" threat because the government is executing the terror. What they did to 3000 people Sept. 11 portends what they are planning for you and me." (9/11 Traitors Absolve Themselves, July 23, 2004, http://www.savethemales.ca/000517.html)

The site contains many other conspiracy claims.[1]

Henry Makow's article "Playboy and the (Homo) Sexual Revolution"[2], located on http://www.thetruthseeker.co.uk, the site full of conspiracy claims, such as Holocaust denial, is also linked to from the reference page[3]. There is also a link to the article on the site of conspiracy theorist Jeff Rense.
