Pedophiles go where the kids are. And married men can be pedophiles too (gay or straight).

Pedophiles go where the kids are. And married men can be pedophiles too (gay or straight).

I have four American-English dictionaries covering words for over 125 years. Only the most recently-published dictionary has dropped the word "pederast". Pederast means sex between men and young boys.

When I contacted my neighbor about this (Liberal of course—Wisconsin Academia), he ridiculed the use of the word. Even Howie Carr gave up after a few uses during the Velvet Mafia crisis.

Continuing to use "pedophile" where "pederast" is spot-on, will obfuscate this discussion forever.
