In school, when I was 13, one of my friends was "dating" a 19 year old. I vividly remember how cool we all thought this was. Reflecting on it makes me feel sick.

This is actually a destabilizing piece of society. Younger men become disaffected when older men, who are better partners, pick up much younger women (I am talking only about adults.). Younger women are then competing with older women for more established men, which can destroy families.
Largely, we have fetishized youth so much that this isn't something that will correct itself. I suppose the standards of beauty can change again, as they always do, but for now we are stuck with a real problem.
This is what wars are for. Young men slaughter each other while old men bang the young women.
I thought wars were for oil?

One of the dudes in my gay group tonight:
"My momma cleaned hunter's cabins and those hunters were real nice men if you know what I mean."
He was talking about a time when he was early teens.
So it's not just girls who get this treatment! If that makes you feel any more egalitarian.

I was hanging out with this girl my age in high school a lot, we were both 17, I thought it was going well, then some full grown adult said she was pretty at Walmart and I had to move on with my life.
Members of Congress, clergymen, the fucking PRESIDENT. What's a boy to do!?
One thing I HATE about military bases. All the E1 soldiers wandering the local high schools looking for girls. Was really sickening
Bro it was such a shit show when I was growing up.
Just military bros spending their entire military paycheck on a mustang and picking up high school girls.
Still remember my friend crying/begging for help because military bro didn't get sex and wanted to beat her up. And this dirtbag was going to get shipped with a rifle to some brown country.
When i was in grade 9 a girl in my class started dating a guy that just graduated. His family was Hella poor but this dude had the nicest of everything cars, clothes etc. He was very obviously a 19 y/o drug dealer dating a 14 y/o tgat couldn't even qualify for a learning permit.
And everyone was just cool with it. This was in tulsa Oklahoma circa 1999/2000
Don't hang around so many republicans and the competition would thin out.
While rape culture is huge among Republicans and dating young women is more popular among them, this issue is far more vast and definitely involves men across the political spectrum.
Until this obsession with youth=beauty and women under 130lbs being the beauty standard changes, this will still be a problem.

Yeah but they've got the market cornered on Catholic priests, that's gotta count for something.
