ABSTRACT
We need to broaden the sphere of morality to take into consideration all practices which involve a lack of respect for persons: systems of race, class, age and gender-in short, all inequalities and aggressions. A moral society would be a just system which eliminated inequality while acknowledging and catering for difference and variety. If moral debate is reduced to sexual matters, then all other inequalities are bound to be obscured by insistent screams of shock and horror-by exaggeration and distortion. As long as that process continues, children will be exploited sexually, racially, through their poverty, or simply because they are children.
