the dirt bag is not a pedophile not in the classic sense

[jdm]

It's quite sad that so many would equate a relationship with a 17 or 18 year old as pedophilia. Pedophilia is such a nasty term and gets thrown around way too often, IMO. Kinda like the term "domestic abuse."

The same heterosexual men who blast Foley for being a "pedophile" also find 16-35 year old girls/women attractive. It's not uncommon at all for adult men to check out girls who are late high school and college-aged (some being under 18). Any other conclusion flies in the face of reality.

Likewise, many women find 17 or 18 year old-ish boys attractive. Those women are pedophiles?
