Not all men who are attracted to small women are pedophiles but we need to talk about the ones who are
Also TRIGGER WARNING FOR SEXUAL ASSAULT⚠️
Obviously we all know that just because a grown man is attracted to a small woman, that does not mean he's a pedophile.
However there are absolutely adult men who will go out of their way to pursue women who are legally adults but are small and/or baby faced because in their sick heads, they view us as akin to children and easy targets to take advantage of. I have had men admit this to me. One of them was my ex boyfriend who told joked that he didn't mind being perceived as a pedophile due to this preference. This joke haunted me and would make me feel really disgusted with myself. I didn't hate how I look but I loathed this comparison. He claimed he didn't mean it like that. But as time unfolded, I learned that he was liking images of child pornography and in the past had dated a minor as an adult. I looked through his following list and it was multiple half naked minors. I told my friend and she said I hate to say it but many of them have your body type.
I have had men tell me go on about how easily they could r*pe me or break my bones because of my size and but then remind me that they were a "good guy" because they wouldn't actually do that. (Two of them did the former)
I saw a comment on another post claim that Jameela Jamil is "insecure" for pointing out that the beauty standard is rooted in pedophilia. While I don't always agree with the way Jameela says certain things, she is not wrong when men like the ones I mention exist.
I've had friends who are literal sex workers and see the absolute worst of men agree with the sentiment. There's one (not friends with her just a content creator) who made a video mentioning that one of the most common fantasies is men wanting to play out fantasies of them f*cking their daughters or granddaughters.
It's in the same way that not all people who want to have sex with an autistic person is a pedophile but that doesn't mean there aren't people who fetishize autistic people because because we remind them of children (and by we I mean myself but I hope you all can understand where I am coming from)
