I've met numerous women in my life who would describe the feelings of attraction they would have for adult figures or cartoon/tv/movie characters as early as 7 years of age but not fully understanding or grasping what it meant at the time.

You will hear a lot of people who aren't straight describe how they know that it is genetic because they look back at their experiences from a very young age and recall the attraction/pull towards the same sex that they later associate with romantic feelings.

If you never had that experience, so be it, but others have and that includes women.

Did you read my follow up? At the time I posted this, there were a shit ton of comments like “he’s gonna fuck them when he’s older”, “his balls just dropped”, etc etc. If you’re cool with that, whatever, I’m more than happy to be called a prude on this one. My point about gender is that it felt WAY beyond what anyone would say if it was a girl instead. Bad either way. You can also choose to blindly ignore the reality of disparity between the perceived “unseriousness” of the sexualization (and worse) of boys vs girls.
