Now THAT would be a fun army ;-)
 

 I've been rewatching those in recent weeks and the other day, I found
 myself squirming a bit during the Miri episode where Kirk is remarking
 on Miri becoming a young woman and an attractive one at that. Although
 Kim Darby was apparently 22 during the filming of that episode, her
 character was supposed to be just entering puberty....

 
 Sigh
 
 Can it be explained for the millionth time that reproduction relies upon

 characteristics? It's instinct!
 

You know that and I know that but apparently the woke crowd finds it
offensive.
 
In any case, it's not hard to imagine someone making the case that Kirk
showed a possible tendency to pedophilia in those scenes.

Being attracted to a teenager who has entered puberty and is displaying
secondary sex characteristics is NOT pedophilia. If anything, it's
ephebophilia: a person who expresses primary sexual interest in mid-to-late
adolescents, generally ages 15 to 19.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ephebophilia

Pedophiles are only attracted to pre-pubescent children.

And as we all know, whether he was attracted to Miri or not, he certainly
wasn't *primarily* attracted to teenagers so he wouldn't even make the cut as
an ephebophile.
