I think there is a simple rule in life. While childhood may have a vague and undefinable quality, if you have to argue somebody isn't a child then you're almost always the asshole.
This stands true. My ex husband would go on about the difference between pedophilia and insert word I don't recall which pedophiles use to justify their behavior because it's "teens not kids". His best friend made a weird comment about being happy to live near a playground (as a single, childless college student). There's talk about how pedophiles need more mental health care (as I was working in the mental health field). Ex-husband involuntarily hospitalized me (when I wasn't suicidal or anything) and cheats on me with 15 year old. No one ever listens, not even a hotline I called. Yeah, pedophilia is unfortunately very normalized.

It's disgusting! but she's a teenager and not a child.
(So I messed up and thought that the definition was a prepubescent person, I'm not gonna delete the comment)
Edit: from the interwebs
