Hambil said:Three states in the US - Iowa, Missouri, and South Carolina - have an age of consent of 14.
I don't agree with that, nor do I agree with this dutch political party's stance. However, I have always been bothered by the idea of calling people who like young, but sexual mature girls pedophiles. A pedophile to me is someone who has desires toward girls or boys who are not yet sexually mature.
To me it is an issue of innocence. As society becomes richer, and the stardard of living increases along with lifespan and leisure time, our children are allowed to stay 'innocent' longer. It is the main reason the age of consent has gone up in the last century. Abuse of that innocence is a bad thing, regardless of what label you put on it.
