I agree, see with a 17 year old is not the same as with a 2 year old.
See with a 15 year old is also not the same as with a 2 year old.
But it's still pedophilia.

I mean...let's break it all down however best we can. First, on a purely logical basis, sex with a 10,000 day old person is not the same as a 10,001 day old person.
And functionally, whether someone is 3, 4, 8, 11 doesn't make any sort of difference when the other person is a grow adult, or really even 14 and 11 is bad. But we're not calling it pedophilia if a 14 year old kid has sex with a 13 year old-- so we do recognize that there is something more going on with the term 'pedophilia' than just some purely legalistic definition of 'child'. (And random question but what is the term for a person who loves feet?).
So even if legally a 19 year old who sleeps with a 17 year is in jeopardy, we don't consider that person to be nearly as culpable as someone Gaetz' age sleeping with a 17 year old-- but that doesn't make it pedophilia and pretty much everyone understands this.
I'm definitely not here to defend Gaetz but I do think the qanon references are sort of funny. I get it, but it's putting partisan politics ahead of logical thought a little.
