I too believe men are free to HOLD any beliefs he/she care too.

If a man (specifically male gender) HOLDS the belief that his sexual
gratification is best achieved by forcible abduction and rape of young
girls -- you'd better believe that I will practice social persecution
of that individual.

I will not trust him, I will keep an eagle eye on him whenever he is
around young girls, and I would not hire him or socialize with him.

You may hold any beliefs you'd like. It is your RIGHT. I also have the
RIGHT of association for any reasons I'd care to have also. And that right
is social and economic also.

BTW -- I don't believe people are WELCOME to hold beliefs -- I believe
they have the RIGHT to.
