Are all men pedophiles?

Stuff like this really frustrates me. The only reason they are able to call all men pedophiles is the fact that they skewed the definition of pedophilia and paraphilias in general!

Diagnostic features of pedophilia:

•For a period lasting at least 6 months, people with this disorder have recurrent, intense sexually arousing fantasies, sexual urges, or behaviors involving sexual activity with a prepubescent child or children (generally 13 years old or younger).

•The person has acted on these urges, or the sexual urges or fantasies cause significant distress or impairment.

•The individual with this disorder is at least 16 years old and at least 5 years older than the victimized child or children.

•The individual's pedophilic behavior may be characterized by sexual attraction to males, females, or both sexes.

•The pedophilic behavior is characterized by whether or not it is limited to incest,

•The pedophilic behavior is characterized by whether or not sexual attraction is exclusive to children. (Abnormal Pshychology: Clinical Perspectives on Psychological Disorders. Sixth Edition. Richard P. Halgin and Susan Krauss Whitbourne)

Does that sound like any of you? The best part is that the definition definitely does not specify men. Also, impairment includes the inability to be aroused by anything else (the pedophile can only be aroused while thinking about, seeing, or interacting with children).

I find the "male" specific title of this insulting. I'm guessing all the 18+ women who found Justin Bieber to be cute/attractive when he was underage completely fine right?

Is the problem the title of the movie? The title is definitely eye catching and conversation inducing which is probably why they chose it. The movie for those who haven't read the article yet is about informing that sex between a 15-17 year old and an adult 18+ is not pedophilia. Of course interest in 15-17 year olds is not a male only interest.

Do you find this person attractive? Yes. Did I rape her? No. I am not a pedophile.

In this sick feminist society of ours we have to leave according to women's rules.

Wanting to be cornholed by a 50 year old male is now normal and wanting to fuck a 17 year old girl is abnormal.

This is sick.

Females end their puberty at 15, obviously we are insane since we find perfectly mature females attractive.

I'm a 37-year-old bisexual female and of course I find the young woman on the cover attractive. The issue isn't whether teens are physically attractive, the issue is whether they are emotionally ready for sexual intercourse and intimacy.

I think we adults forget how confusing it is to be 15. On the one hand they want to be accepted as an adult, but on the other hand they have zero life experience and make stupid mistakes. This continues into the early to mid twenties, imo.

I believe adults have the responsibility to protect young people from themselves and gender shouldn't be a factor.
