Definitions

Noun
  1. 1
    Commonwealth form of pedophilophobia. Commonwealth, alt-of, uncountable

    "It won't happen over-night that's for sure. The anti-paedophilia cranks have succeeded in forcing their warped view on so much of the world that a quick return to common sense is impossible. As I suggested elsewhere, there _may_ come a time when paedophilia is viewed just as homosexuality is now: as a minority(?) interest but not a wicked one. If that time comes people will view paedophilephobia(!) just as they view homophobia now."
