Pedophiles are picked on and reviled for a reason, I cannot argue with that. The primary reason being that the media has made them equal to child molesters in the eyes of the general public, the secondary reason being that humans have a tendency to hate people who are not the same as they are, and pedophiles are a pretty small percentage of the population. The primary reason they hate ephebophiles I am not sure considering all evidence points to the majority of men being ephebophiles, probably it has something to do with the media casting such people as deviant sexual predators. In most of the world ephebophiles are not despised at all or even made into criminals, I am not sure what is so special about USA, UK and Australia that they want to play pretend. Sending people who look at illegal pictures to be choked to death by crackheads in prison is extremely cruel and barbaric. In the future people will look back at today and the mass hysteria and primitive thinking of our times will be studied much how we study the Salem Witch Trials and similar.
