Why are so many older men obsessed with teenage girls?

I appreciate you apologizing, and I hope you know at no point am I saying women cannot be predatory or boys cannot be victimized. It is flat out incorrect to say that the vast majority of men are not attracted to teenagers or understand/respect consent. There was a study in the 1970s that asked men if they had raped someone; 10% said yes. Then asked men if they had physically forced someone to have sex; 70% said yes. I don’t know a woman who hasn’t been assaulted, or preyed on by older men as a teenager. I’ve met so so many men who have expressed disappointment when I tell them I’m not a teenager. What you’re believing about men may be true for yourself, but it simply is not true for many men.
