It comes from men being attracted to teenagers and wanting to justify the attraction.

There’s at least one man in this very thread defending this. That men arent predatory to impregnate teenagers because that’s when women are most fertile/have the healthiest babies.

    Ugh that's so fucking gross and literally not factual.

    Any man interested in teens is 100% predatory and no amount of pseudoscience is gonna make up for the fact that

    A) teens' bodies are not equipped to carry a baby without complications

    B) teens are not mentally equipped to be parents

    C) they only like teens because they're predators and teens are the only ones naive enough to fall for their shitty manipulation tactics.

    teenagers

    English isn't my first language nor am I from Western country, so a question: 18 and 19 are also teenagers?

    They're considered "teens" both linguistically and culturally?

    Yes. 18 year olds are technically adults in the US, but that doesn’t mean their bodies can support and birth babies as well as when they’re older.

    I think they are restricted in that regard biologically way less than psychologically.
