exactly... pedophilia is sexual attraction to prepubescent children
Finally, someone on this thread with a brain and a heart. Thank you
“pedophilia is sexual attraction to prepubescent children”
Most 13 year old girls have started puberty, so, even using your own logic, men having sex with 13 or 17 year olds is pedophilia. Predators preying on 13 or 17 year olds are pedophiles. If you don’t believe me, just watch them suicide at the first light into their nefarious activities. If they go to trial, I’m sure pedophiles get their dues in prison.
Thanks, it’s not hard to understand.
Over and over and over in comment sections, I have tried to make that point.
There are some folks that have an emotional block to understanding and accepting that the particular word has a definition.
If a person wants to condemn an adult action with a postpubescent young person then, by all means, do so.
There are other words that are appropriately defined to describe that behavior.
I’m not defending anyone’s behavior. I am defending the English language.
Not accepting the definition of words hinders rational discussion.
