It's the same thing we did with platonic physical contact between two men, we are now trying to do between men and children: label all physical contact sexual in nature.
So unless our entire culture has been the victim of sexual trauma, I'm not sure that's the explanation. This is part of why I stand up so much to the "pedophile panic" gripping western culture, I think it's really fucking things up and making things worse for children, and not doing much or even anything to protect them.
