The term paedophile means an adult (of any gender) who is sexually attracted to prepubescent children of any gender. Lolicon (when applied to a person) means an adult (again, of any gender) who is sexually attracted specifically to prepubescent girls (not boys). Hence the terms are not equivalent.

A term used for the latter is shotacon, but it is not as common a word as the above.
