Your prof was right in this case. The one who needs to "grow the fuck up" here is YOU because you obviously have no idea what the purpose of critique is.

Critique is for the structure and technical merit of the writing, not for your own personal opinions about the subject matter. You think the twenty-two year old is too perfect and flawless and thus comes off as flat? That's legit critique because it addresses a technical issue with the writing - that the character is not well-developed or fleshed out. You think it's creepy for a twenty-two year old and a fifty year old to get married? That's personal opinion and has no bearing on the writing itself.

I dislike sci-fi as a genre. I find most of the tropes that crop up in it to be boring. But that's MY opinion and does not mean that a sci-fi story is bad, just that it isn't to my personal tastes. Being objectively bad and being subjectively bad are two very different things.

+1. The distinction between technical issues, stylistic choices, and subjective personal preferences, is one that too few people seem to grasp.
