Could we also not call people who are sexually attracted to 16 year olds pedophiles, please?
A pedophile in medical/psychiatric terms is someone who is sexually attracted to prepubescent kids, not to 16 year olds who in any biological sense are adults, if not in a mental sense.
16 year olds are most definitely not adults mentally. They do not have good decision-making skills as a matter of biology.
Also, I always get creeped out by comments like this. It feels like defense of pedophilia without outright saying it.
