You are absolutely trolling right now. Try asking the next person you see if they're a pedophile. Of the ones who haven't already punched you in the nose, ask them if your question offended them.

Pedophiles are universally reviled in our society, and pedophilia is against the law. It's ridiculous to even ask if the impact of a new law has to be judged in terms of how it affects people who are breaking the law.

He didn't ask her out of the blue, and her reply of being offended is why he probed as to what she was offended about. I'm not saying the guy is not at fault, I do understand why he would question the fringe of what these proposals require. You're trolling for comparing it to a completely different situation of asking someone next to you if they are a pedo. Context actually is important. She could have just explained her position instead of grasping her pearls and getting offended. To state it clearly, I don't condone either of their actions but I can see motivating factors for either side.
