Let’s just be clear about something, people love to throw the word pedophilia around without even knowing what it really means.
Pedophilia is sexual attraction to pre-pubescent children, not simply anyone under age.
Sex with any minor that has reached puberty is called statutory rape, because legally it is understood that a minor is not capable of taking that decision by themselves, or don’t have the mental/sexual maturity to do so.
Both are fucked up things, but they are not the same thing.
Same thing with people throwing around the word racism, when in reality the behavior they are referring to is xenophobia or classism.
And mind you, I like to make the distinction because as fucked up as both things may be, a 25 year old adult having sex with a 15 year old, while illegal, is nowhere near as fucked up as a 17 year old having sex with a 7 year old, despite both having the exact same age difference and in the case of the 17/7 year olds, BOTH are minors.
Throwing the word pedophilia around like nothing, lowers the impact of how society reacts to the terminology
