This level of rudeness is not to be tolerated, accusing someone of pedophilia is almost as bad as calling them gay. Let’s just say I’m of an age where going to prison for having sex with another man was a very real possibility. Being called gay in public… no, being accused of being gay in public was a life ending experience. That’s what I’m trying to compare things to, not a matter of age of consent, which, if anyone bothers looking is very inconsistent in the world, just like the still current penalties for homosexuality. You can be stoned to death for having a homosexual relationship under sharia law. Most of the civilized world considers it “nutters,” yet there are silent people in the EU and US who would love to see such a law come back to the christian world.
To me, being called a pedo is exactly like being called gay.
