I'm just thinking that charges of pedophilia above puberty are really about protecting masculinity (teenage girls are excluded from this protection/policing) and LJ's actions are reflecting this. First and foremost, they are bending to the pressure from Perverted Justice and their ilk that have set up shop so centrally in the US.
But these pressure groups are not dictating the way LJ is punishing their customers here--without any kind of notice or courtesy whatsoever. This aggressive--and I think abusive--steamrolling is coming from more than the pressure groups and their conceptions of pedophilia.
