Double standards of age gap relationships

    Saw a strange headline in the Indo online, unfortunately its behind a pay wall so I didn't get to read it all however…

    "Older men pairing up with younger women is a tale as old as time, so why the pearl clutching when it happens the other way around? It’s the 21st century – let’s finally ditch this chauvinistic view when it comes to love and age"

    Chauvinistic? I always thought the common view of older men dating younger women was one of "ewww"??

    Who frowns when women date younger men??? Who gives a flying monkeys?? Its certainly not men giving a damn about it, men dont bother themselves with what other men do. I've never heard or seen any comments saying it shouldn't happen or anything that would constitute a double standard between the two.

    Written by Rosalind Skillen, is it another attempt at a hit piece on "ugghhh men" from one of these new age feminazi that's been spoon fed how oppressed she is?

    Not Your Ornery Onager


    As Bette Midler said -

    20 goes into 80 a lot more than 80 goes into 20.

    Not your ornery onager

    I love age gaps honestly. I think an older man younger woman dynamic is actually more healthier/normal than the same age
