Pederasty definition is for underaged having sex with adults. These students are not underage except for the few, pushed ahead geniuses.
I’m not saying it’s ok.....it’s just not pederasty.
I was using the term metaphorically (thus my formulation “more abstract form of pederasty”). The pattern of seducing young people to bad, unworkable, destructive ideas is similar to the process whereby a pederast seduces his prey. A softening of resistance, blurring of boundaries, small suggestions that “necessitate” what the seducer was aiming for all along. Behind it is a form of mental illness, a manifestation of a psychopathic urge to dominate others.
