Yup, you've got it.
Also, I can think of arguments against my position, as well.
I wouldn't necessarily say "older" both young men and women (minors). More like they want to bang attractive people and men are most attractive, according to data we've collected (and verified over multiple studies), at 32. So, yeah, you could make an argument with the research that it's natural for young women (minors) to want to get with post college age men. But that might be biology looking for a hunter and gatherer who has resources and peak health - not a modern day situation.
Men are far easier to predict: we find 22-25 year old women most attractive at almost all ages and that's hilarious to me. Prime-baby-making. Men are rather simplistic. 🙂
"Me see hot woman. ugh, baby make. WEEE!" <- every caveman brain haerm

But the salient point is both young people want it and the older person is taking advantage of this. The man doesn't need to use his physical superiority to force the young girl who already wants to have sex to have sex with him.
But that's not how power dynamics work. Talk to young women and women about their dating experiences and having to deal with anger from men. You might change your mind. Saying "no" isn't as easy as a decision for young women as it is for young men from a physical security (external locus of control) perspective.

It's bad for older women to prey on young boys just as it is for older men to prey on young women.
This is obvious and no one disagrees with this point. We are not talking about the same thing.

Also I dunno why you felt the need to say something like "Then be uncomfortable. Your feelings don't matter because none of us are clinical psychologists or therapists" lmao wtf. Are you just trying to be a prick or?
We are both in the same boat because I used 'us' in that. So if I put us both in the same boat, you can probably be sure I wasn't being a prick.
If I explain it to you, then it could seem like I'm patronizing you. But I'll explain it anyway because you took the wrong interpretation away:
This is an uncomfortable topic and professionals who do this for living are far better equipped to discuss this topic. We are not and probably should not be comfortable with this topic as we are laymen. If we were comfortable with the topic, we'd either be mental health professionals or creeps.
Other than the misunderstanding about "uncomfortable", this was an enjoyable conversation. 👆
