The reason it's about 16 year olds and not about another age is that at 16, most girls start going out to the "real" clubs. Now, these girls don't look 16... most of them look 18-21. If you go to a club and pick up a random 18 year old, she may well be either 16 or 24.
The guys that pick up these girls aren't pedophiles. They're interested in young women, not children. And the problem is just that - many of these girls are in fact young women, not children. They have the same maturity as the average 18 year old... which in all honesty isn't all that much. Then again, the same can be said for the guys in their early twenties that pick up that type of girls.

I can appreciate what you are saying. I have a 16 year old daughter - I've met her friends, and my wife and I have raised our eyebrows at each other about a few of them. Nice girls, but trying to be grown up too fast.
I don't really feel the poll covers this, though. It pretty baldly asks, would you fuck a 16 year old, and it implies knowledge of it. I simply think it's wrong. I realize I come off pretty vehement about it, but my feelings on the subject aren't casual.
Personally, I see a trend in this society that I find very disturbing, on this exact subject. My daughter complains about walking by the gardners at her school - at her SCHOOL for fuck's sake - and how they'll whistle at her and her friends, wiggle their eyebrows and so on. These are guys in their mid twenties or older. And they are doing it right on the school grounds, apparently with no concept that what they are doing is fucking wrong. I've complained to the school about it - but with no proof...
It makes her feel very uncomfortable. So I see the direct effects of this kind of permissive thinking on my own child. It's not theoretical to me. She looks or acts older isn't an excuse for her not BEING older.
