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.
Exactly. I’m not saying men who try to sleep with 16/17 year olds aren’t creeps, but they’re not pedophiles.
