is pedophilia a taboo subject?

I'm writing and essay on Lolita, but I can't decide what word to use to describe the book's subject matter. taboo and controversial don't seem appropriate.

  • Shameful.

    Dangerously compulsive.

    Criminal.

    Brutally self-indulgent.

    Child rape.

    Evil.

  • I would agree. Taboo more means that something is improper or unacceptable. In this context, calling pedophilia a taboo subject would more that is considered rude or unacceptable to TALK about it, which I don't think was the meaning you are going for.

    "Abhorrent" might work, because it means that the subject causes revulsion or repugnant in people, merely by talking about it. "Unpleasant" is a gentler way to describe it, depending on the tone you are going for.

  • That finished situation about men being the oppressors and women being the victims is the in elementary words reason i visit imagine of. If there are feminists deliberately protecting up baby abuse of any style,then they could't be seen females or maybe people. this is unhappy that a persons' ideology would override their experience of empathy for an abused baby.
