On her show last week, Kelly tried to make the cringe inducing suggestion that “barely legal” 15 year olds do not equate with young children as young as say 8 or under 10, and so the term “pedophile” should only apply to a person with a preference to the latter.Megyn was making a practical distinction between pedophilia and ephebophilia.
The victims were trafficked, threatened, and groomed.
“Megyn was making a practical distinction between pedophilia and ephebophilia.”
Megyn is right, but the distinction is lost on the unwashed masses.
It’s like the situation in the Catholic Church with the average person on the street talking about a “pedophile priest” problem. No, it’s actually “homosexual priest” problem... with >90% of victims/accusers being post-pubescent. A guy hitting on a 17-year-old boy isn’t a pedophile, he’s a homosexual doing his thing.
It's impossible to make that distinction without coming across as a pedo.
I understood her point but it was still dumb to say. She had to know the left would take it out of context and beat her with it.
