Why do people who call Muhammad (saw) a pedophile not call Joseph who married Mary a pedophile?

Like Muhammad (saw) and Aisha (ra), Joseph too married Mary when she was at a very young age and he too had a large age gap with Mary.

Update:

I'm not saying they were pedophiles, I'm asking why do people call Muhammad (saw) a pedophile and not Joseph? Its hypocritical.

    You are Comparing today's Laws and Culture to theirs, Understand, what You call Now a Pedophile was Normal back then, reason was,In many Couture's especially over 100 years ago, Life spans were much Shorter, To Live to be 30 or 40 was not common,

    So a Girl was considered ready to marry as soon as see began to menstruate,

    So Those Whom you mentioned can be considered a Pedophile by Today's standards, But not by theirs Culture in those Times.

    Take that into Consideration
