I started this gangsta sh-
He meant it as pedophilia, all you're doing is playing a game of semantics
Semantics is the difference between big and large. Abstract or interpretive terms.
Pedophillia vs Pederasty vs Ephebophilla etc all mean different things.
Its like how often times a person will say European when they mean Caucasian. Until the person can differentiate it is safe to assume they barely know what they are tallking about.
The majority of what was going on in Greece was pederasty and later homosexuallity, not pedophillia.
Men would abuse pubescent boys and later teens, and as they became adults they would then just be gay together. Well... bi usually.
Anyway, the point is the distinction is important because many are dismissing the connection between comparing pedo to gay as ignorance. That is indeed what was being fostered in Greece/Rome, only it had little to do with pedo (pre-pubescences of both genders) and was as I described pederasty (boys already in puberty being abused by men and groomed to be gay). So, by understanding the correct terms, people might be able to understand clearly what was unfolding.
Just tryna help.
