Big platforms banning honest discussion is damaging.
When all the major media promote one side of the story and actively ban people telling the other side of the story, content consumers will get a *very distorted* view of the world around them.

Money, beauty, talent, self-confidence, belonging to a social network that includes powerful people. There are tons and tons of things that give folks more or less power. Age is one of the least relevant of them.
Before feminism this was literally impossible. Feminism has brought us so much freedom and joy. Things like stress, fear, and loneliness affect all of us sometimes. Those are totally unrelated issues.
Teenagers work full time jobs. Teenagers serve in the military. Teenagers provide child care to working mothers. Teenagers go to college. Teenagers do tons of charity work. Teenagers do everything that laws allow them to and they do it well. Stop infantilizing young adults.
Men are sexually attracted to young women. Maybe you can get a social movement big and angry enough to force them to hide that fact, but the fact itself will not change. Personally I think forcing those thoughts and feelings underground will do more harm than good.
"Normal people are attracted to people who are roughly age appropriate" is true for many, probably most women. We tend to like our own age +5.
Men, however, are most often attracted to puberty +5 and that does not change. Men don't start looking at different porn as they grow older. Senior citizens and teens watch the same erotic vids.

The root cause is the infantilization of the young. When I was 12 everybody thought I was "not quite an adult" Now people say that about 18 year olds. We have literally millions of people living in adult bodies being treated like small children.
"Gender Ideology" is exactly the same as Anita Bryant's "Gay Agenda" was in the 1970s. Total fear-mongering bullshit designed to get ordinary people to hate those who the freakish trads want them to hate.
But they are not used that way. Listen to the way your friends and family use these words. You'll find that they almost always use young girl when they mean young woman.
Whatever various societies decide is optimal (it changes by time and place) some people always choose partners who are thought to be unsuitable for them. There's zero reason to freak out about a few peeps being in less traditional relationships.
Sentences like "We took pictures of brains and noticed some changes and that means that 22 year olds cannot consent to sex" are very popular, but complete idiocy.
...to destroy all life on earth. His wife, Nancy, organized Christmas decorations. Galaxy-sized power imbalance. There's no way she could consent. Every time they made love it was rape. (That's the idiocy of "power dynamics")
There are real biological differences between children 0-11 and adults 14+ Society always has and always will treat adults and children differently. I accept that fact.
Same age relationships are sometimes abusive. Age gap relationships are sometimes abusive. The abuse is the problem. Let's stop abuse. All abuse. To do that we need to stop obsessing on stupid distractions like age gaps.
If anybody really thought 16 year old brains were deficient we wouldn't let them drive cars, quit school, work full time in dangerous environments, or even babysit. We know perfectly well that 16 year old brains work perfectly well.
