with age differences in relationships we shouldn’t go by years, we should go by percentages
you know why it’s not as weird for a 35 year old to date a 30 year old than it is for a 20 year old to date a 15 year old? because that five year age difference represents a LOT larger of a part of the 15 year olds life than the 25 year olds, a bigger chunk of life experience missing
so like say for kylie jenner. she’s 17, tyga is 25. that eight year age difference is 47% of the time kylie has even been alive
eyes wide open
Or you can just not judge age differences because it’s different for everyone
or you can recognize that psychosocial development and life experience are relevant whether it’s convenient or not and its inherently predatory for a much older person to date a much younger person. “don’t judge” deez nuts honestly like that’s the weakest defense
I was at one of my first networking lunches, with lots of important filmmakers in attendance. During a break I happened to strike up a conversation with the first woman who was able to join the cinematographer’s guild. She said that she’d had all the qualifications for years, and had applied long before she got in, but that the man in charge of membership refused to let her join, telling her, “Over my dead body!” “Oh my god,” I asked her, “How did you ever get in?“
