If a boy is post-pubescent. He is not a boy. Whether he is then emotionally mature enough to consent to sex is another matter.

So, a male who reaches puberty at 14 is not a boy? He’s both emotionally and physically fully a man?

This conversation is just so absurd.

I have appreciated Milo, among other things for his defense of free speech.

But I cannot appreciate man-boy sex, even if the boy/man is a post-pubescent 14.

That’s your definition. Common modern use of the language is different.

Boys are entering puberty at an average age of 10 among whites and Hispanics, and at an average age of 9 among African-Americans.

No one calls a ten year old boy a man.
