“He’s saying, quit clearly, that if a 13 year old is sexually mature, it’s not pedophilia (i.e. it’s OK) for older men to have a sexual relationship with them.”
By definition, it is not pedophilia.
However, it is statutory rape, and sexual maturity is not the guiding standard for statutory rape. The standard is emotional and intellectual maturity.
That is the flaw in his argument. Very often people reach sexual maturity long before they attain emotional or intellectual maturity. The fact that a teenage girl has sprouted T&A doesn’t mean she’s ready to take on a practiced seducer.
WTF?
In what demented mind could "not pedophilia" equal "it's ok?"
By definition, it is not pedophilia.
==============================================================
He said it's ok for men to have sex with a 13 year old so long as that 13 year old was sexually mature.
As for the definition...depends on whose defining it.
