> Because, gee whiz, who could have thought that someone could take a story about feeling up your little sister the wrong way?

Look at the various people in this thread, and how many have had similar experiences, all of them feeling obligated to be ashamed. (They shouldn't. They were little kids.) So it seems like this kind of stuff is pretty normal behaviour. But forbidding people to talk about it (this sort of...ugh... victim blaming *cough* is practically forbidding it, socially.) will create a sort of taboo around these activities, that result in cultural neuroses.
(When I was a kid, nobody gave a shit if there was one pedo among the people at the pool secretly getting off to us butt-naked kids. But now they're all so fucking paranoid that someone could see their kiddies' privates, they'd preerably put them in burkinis. That's the sort of neurosis I mean.)

There is such a lot of middle ground between "ashamed of it" and "bragging about it" though. I used to eat the dog's food when I was three. I'm not ashamed of it, but I don't usually go around telling strangers about it either. However, let's say I did want to devote a gleeful chapter of my memoirs to my puppy chow days... when PETA decided to jump down my throat for abusing my family's animal slave by stealing its food and everyone else just jumped on the "the dog food thing explains why she's such a bitch" bandwagon, if people want to defend me, then great! However, if I or anyone else tried to claim that no one could have seen it coming, you would all be quite justified in pointing and laughing. It's a great big internet full of dicks, and that's some low-hanging fruit.
