men on reddit: “my girlfriend of 8 years recently revealed she bleeds from her vagina once a month. should I leave?”
women: “a guy I’ve known for 60 days says he’s a pedophile. how do I discuss this with him”
@rebeccawatson I know that nobody on the internet knows what a pedophile is but "would fuck a minor" ≠ "being primarily attracted to prepubescent children".
Come on, the post even outright states that he is not attracted to prepubescent traits.
It doesn't make the bf any less of a garbage person but there is no need to use the loaded label pedophile here because it is just wrong.
@AimeeMaroux you didn’t have to. I’ve seen the play often enough. contrary to your post I do know what a pedophile is (having dated one) and my joke didn’t need you to rush in to defend ephebophiles
@rebeccawatson Oh yikes, I'm so sorry!
I did NOT nor did I mean to defend ephebophiles, I said it doesn't make him any less of a shitty person.
The way I understand the definition of the term, pedophile is explicitely a preference for prepubescent children. Is it wrong? In any case, my point wasn't supposed to be that the guy is not so bad or whatever because it's not pedophilia. It was supposed to be that it's awful in spite of it.
