Also, lbr, would this entire comment thread look remotely similar if it was OP's *father* in law discussing 30something women?

[(Anonymous)]

Men and women generally frame those things in incredibly different ways, which is part of the reason why the reaction might be different

(the difference is socially constructed, to be clear)

30-something women? Yeah, probably.

The main difference is there would be a lot of eyerolling over OP pearl-clutching at a 50-something dude actually crushing on women who are actually old enough to drink thrown in.

I brought up that point earlier and it went over like a lead balloon. People don't seem to want to admit that it might be legitimately icky to have to witness a middle aged woman perving on actors young enough to be her son and they're going to ignore the double standard because hell no, they would definitely not be so magnanimous if it was a middle-aged guy perving on someone young enough to be his daughter.

To follow that train of thought, I am curious as to what exactly the cutoff is for "young enough to be her son." 14 years younger? 16? 18? It's legitimately icky when we're talking underage people, but these guys are all in their upper 20s and 30s, aren't they?

I don't really get the outrage over the age question here, that's all. Now, fixating on creepy douches is whole other issue and personally much more concerning for me.

But I would present that as a separate issue from the fact that she's, as you say, "perving on actors young enough to be her son". And I think that's what most comments here are taking issue with.

F!S actually has been much more positive about older men hooking up with younger women than you're characterizing it - go and look up the Paul Hollywood discussions recently if you don't believe, I think a majority of people in those threads were defending him

There's much more consistency here than you think

And that's not even remotely a bad thing as long as all people in a relationship are consenting adults.
