If a person uses the same judgemental stance in real life as they have in this secret, which was the point I made in my first comment. Judge a potential partner solely on their age? Ageism. Finding out you feel ageist can come as a surprise and a shock, and be uncomfortably unsettling. It's no different than realising you are -ist in some other way.

You're right. 40 year olds should totally fuck 14 year olds, excluding them because of their age is discriminatory.

[(Anonymous)]

You missed the part where this was a discussion about adults over the age of consent, and not in Japan or other countries where that falls post puberty. Do try to.keep up.

Sorry, no. There are very good, very valid reasons why people are disinclined to pursue relationships with those younger than themselves, to the point where it has been codified into law in certain circumstances. You can't scream "but age is just a number, you're a bigot if you have personal limits", and then turn around and say "oh, but wait, it actually is bad here".

Either there are significant differences in power, maturity, and experience between older and younger people, or there aren't. If there are, they don't magically evaporate at the age of majority, even if we've decided that's the point at which limits can be personal rather than set down in law. If there aren't, then by your own argument, the law is also discriminatory.

and not in Japan or other countries where that falls post puberty

And how is this not 'discrimination' against those countries? Why is the age of consent in Japan less relevant to this conversation than the age of consent in your country? Unless you know what the age of consent is in OP's country of origin, how can you say with any certainty that it's not relevant?

Because 'Murrica.

No. Choosing not to pursue a romantic relationship with someone based on your feelings that said person is inappropriate doesn't need to have any bearing whatsoever on how you treat that person otherwise. If you are polite, civil, and respectful to the person, where is the discrimination in opting not to say "I think you're hot"?
