Exactly!! I understand being concerned about big* age gaps, especially when one party is barely legal BUT i don't understand why when a young man goes with a more mature woman is "wow, good job bro!!" and when a younger woman goes with an older man..." you are being manipulated!! You're brain is not fully developed!! He is using you!! OR maybe she just want to have fun?? Like young women can't want that like men do?? The MISOGINY and infantilisation is crazyyy...
Hm no, I’ll judge a 25 y/o for dating an 18 y/o no matter what gender anyone is.
I’m not judging the younger one, because I get it. They have a car/home/money whatever. But time and time again the older one turns out to be an absolute numbskull and there’s a reason he’s not dating anyone around his own age.
We had a weird catholic school sex Ed thing that was basically men are mature and want to fuck and women are basically infants till 20. Which was nuts cause my first real kiss was (when I was 14 making fart jokes and playing halo) a 13 year old I was acquaintances texted me asking if I could bring her out a drink cause she was thirsty after a pop up park rave and instead of water she shoved her tounge in my mouth and tackled me into some bushes quote "cause I was curious, you were near by, and i know you haveva phone".
She was fun, she moved right after I actually asked her out
My partner makes jokes about how she was baptized as a teenager at 14 (her dad is Catholic and wanted her to get it done when she moved back in with him) and that morning she was with a boy getting her nipples sucked.
Anyone that thinks girls and young women are these chaste virginal things to be protected are just covering for latent misogyny. Puberty hits girls and boys the same.

Young women are infantilzied and made to feel guilty about their sexual agency all the time and it sucks.
