I don't blame her for being raped, that is her dads fault. However, I think it is pertinent to mention that the child victim who is most outspoken about the damage people viewing CP cause to the victim, makes a fortune off of the fact that it is illegal to view CP. According to the most recent consensus in the mental health community, pedophiles are attracted to children ages 13 or younger. However, the medical definition varies depending on the source; historically pedophiles are those who are attracted to non-infantile prepubescent children regardless of the age of the child. Certainly I am not attracted to prepubescent children, so by the historical definition of pedophilia I am not a pedophile. Pubescent children are also not immediately attractive to me, so even by the modern definition of pedophilia I don't really qualify as one. Like the overwhelming majority of males, I do find that I am attracted to mid and late stage pubescent people, approximately aged 14 and above. Depending on the definition you go by, this would mean that I meet one of the diagnostic criteria for either hebephilia and/or ephebephilia. The classical definition of hebephilia is attraction to those aged 11-14, and the classical definition of ephebephilia is attraction to those aged 15-19. However, modern definitions are more likely to include downward leeway of about a year, which would mean I meet one of the medical criteria for ephebephilia but not really hebephilia. On the other hand, there is a small movement of psychologists who argue that pedophilia and hebephilia should be merged together into a new disorder called hebepedophilia, which entails attraction to those 2-14 years old. Thankfully they are such a minority that they have not been able to influence any of the diagnostic criteria! Of course colloquially the term pedophilia is used to describe anybody who has attraction to anyone under the age of consent, which ranges within the USA from age 16 to 18, depending on the state. From a world wide point of view the age of consent varies more significantly, with most countries having legalized ephebephilia and some countries even having legalized hebephilia. However, as I am not exclusively attracted to those aged 14-19, I would at 'worst' receive a diagnosis of nonexclusive ephebephilia. So my answer to your claim that I am a pedophile needs to be broken down. Medically speaking in a classical sense : No, in no cases am I attracted to prepubescent children Medically speaking in a modern sense : Not really, in almost no cases am I sexually attracted to those 13 or younger Medically speaking from the perspective of a proponent of hebepedophilia : Yes, I do find that 14 year olds are frequently capable of being sexually attractive Colloquially speaking : Possibly, in USA yes, in many parts of Europe no Not really, projects tend to have a strict no snitching policy. Do you equate giving birth to murder if the child is murdered, because if the mother had not given birth in the first place the child wouldn't even exist to be murdered? Nope never had to do any of those unpleasant things. It sounds like you mostly have issue with the people who are raping children, I don't know why you have created a false equivalence between them and the people who view images of children being raped.
