nuspeak has been used to redefine the meaning of this word so that people do not agree on its meaning.
once upon a time pedophilia described a disorder that was based solely on sexual attraction. their was also a crime called child molestation or child rape. pedophilia did not imply child molestation although it did raise the likelihood.
within the medical context, pedophilia is to child molestation as heterosexuality is to rape. however, due to the nature of attraction to people who legally cannot consent to sex is by itself a disorder, and thus pedophilia is a disorder and not a crime.
oh that sounds RACIST! i bet you are an ISLAMOPHOBE! if you think your bullshit shaming tactics work any better than the progressive leftists than you are fucking stupid. your opinion is no more important to me than a hamplanet saying you can be healthy at any size.
Is it newspeak or are people just uninformed/ignorant of the distinction? It also only counts as pedophilia if you are solely attracted to kids around age 9. There's other words for an attraction to kids 4 and younger and for kids around age 13 and 17.
a little of both. both the news and the criminal justice system make a point not to mention infantaphilia, hebephilia, or ephebophilia and instead use the word pedophilia to describe sexual crimes (not the orientation itself) done by people who may or may not have these conditions. it is nuspeak because the media does this on purpose.
