Academically, the professor's argument makes some sense. Essentially, claiming the difference between someone who is attracted to children vs. someone who acts on that. The argument is that people cannot control who/what they are attracted to.

I suppose you could claim that we shouldn't call people who think about killing someone a murderer, but only people who actually kill someone.

Practically, though, its a can of worms (to say the least)

In any event, it didn't stop anti-woke supporters from latching onto the professor's argument to say that every progressive now supports pedophilia.
