Males prove all my points every single day

"Being attracted to a 16 year old is not pedophilia it's EBEPHELIA" *incoherent sputtering*

This is just a male setting the bar for predatory behavior as a few steps more severe than whatever he's willing to do.

A grown male who wants to violate a 16 year old girl is ON THE SAME EXACT SPECTRUM as a grown male who wants to rape a newborn baby.

The only difference is in degree. And there is a BIG difference in degree--

but the underlying predatory sexuality is exactly the same.

Men prove this every single moment of every single day.

"It's not pedophilia she was 15"

"Depp isn't a predator, Amber is a grown woman"

These men are all on the predatory, daddy-daughter incest dynamics, pedophile or pedophile-adjacent spectrum.

The Depravity Spectrum.

Men REALLY HATE seeing this laid out clearly. But it's just the truth of male sexuality.

Men are inherently predatory and pedophilic. They draw arbitrary boundaries around their target ages depending on the laws and their present impulses, but they're all on this spectrum.

And yes, every single one of these males is a danger to women and girls, and does not deserve to be around them.

The male who rapes a baby deserves worse than the death penalty, while the male who violates a teen girl deserves jail time for life.

All of them deserve punishment.

Yet somehow, all but the most heinous male crimes go unpunished, because the standard for male behavior is so low that a male who violates a teen girl can always deflect and say he's not a REAL abuser because some other man out there does WORSE.
But think about this for a minute.

How evil do you have to be, that you resort to justifying yourself with "this isn't ACTUAL pedophilia because that other man raped someone even YOUNGER?!"

If you have to say this, you're admitting to being a monster.

It's extremely telling that men resort to saying this.

Personally, I never exploit anyone younger or weaker than me, so I never have to go around saying "what I did wasn't ACTUAL rape because that other person did something WORSE."

That's because I'm not evil, and the bar for my behavior is not in hell.

Men react to these facts with intense anger because they never want to think of themselves as predators.

They sputter angrily, "So you're saying every man who finds teens attractive is a sick bastard who deserves jail time???!!!"

Yes. That's exactly what I'm saying, Kevin.

Meanwhile, the FBI should check your hard drives.

And if you're like Depp, dating a "grown woman" who nevertheless is young enough to be your daughter, you're a sick predator who gets off on violating a woman who could literally be your CHILD.

And you should never be permitted around your actual daughter(s) in case you one day feel like raping them.

This is just the logical endpoint of the incestuous daddy-daughter dynamics that are present in "age gap relationships" (sexual exploitation by a father figure).

Men also say "it's fine because it was legal"--essentially admitting that they're subhuman monsters devoid of a conscience, who are only kept in line by law enforcement, and would rape younger girls if the law permitted.

Men tell you what they are every day.

LISTEN TO THEM.

If a male has ANY conceivable justification or apologism for the sexual exploitation of girls, teens, and young women by older men--if he is anything but genuinely resoundingly disgusted and full of condemnation towards it, he is dangerous, and should not be trusted around women.
