Politics Why Do Conservatives Keep Ending Up Next to Sex Offenders?

[Blue1980]

Not trying to be mean, just puzzled—why do conservative parties around the world seem to have such a recurring issue with sex offenders in their ranks or being strangely chill about them?

Like… is there a reason? Or is this just a random phenomenon, like climate change?

Is there a reason OP didn't post any evidence for their claims?

That's reasonable.

Blue1980, care to demonstrate the claim with some evidence?

They tend to like the patriarchy and view young women as commodities more than other groups. When at your core you don't actually care about a group of people it might contribute to you winding up hurting them.

Glad you asked, see below:

1. George Pell – Convicted (later overturned) but damning findings from the Royal Commission about his knowledge of systemic abuse. Still weirdly revered in conservative circles.

2. Andrew Laming – LNP MP caught taking upskirt photos of a woman and accused of harassment. Got a slap on the wrist and quietly exited politics.

3. Liberal Party’s handling of Brittany Higgins – A masterclass in gaslighting and victim-blaming. Ministers like Linda Reynolds called her a “lying cow.” Morrison’s response? “Jenny told me to think like a dad.” Inspirational stuff.

4. Peter Dutton’s past remarks – Referred to sexual assault allegations in refugee camps as “fabricated,” said female refugees were “trying it on.” Unbelievably gross.

5. Catholic Church protection racket – Historically backed by the right, especially in Victoria and NSW. Fought tooth and nail against abuse survivors’ rights to sue.
