There is something about infantilising young adults that really irks me up. They have one of the strongest urge to shake things up and enact changes and fight injustices, these people are able to make their mind, make choices and able to own up to them.
Now for the sleeping with them part, I completely agree on it, there is a power dynamic about sleeping with somebody much younger than you, and also, what do you find attractive with someone where their goals and environment is much different than yours, and I may add, less "experienced" than you? All of that just say abusive to me.
I had a semi relationship with a much older woman when I was in my early 20s, and now I wonder what was she seeking in that?
I feel like it’s either people of a similar age that don’t want to feel like they are kids anymore because they are finally technically adults or like you said older men who don’t see anything weird or wrong with it.
when i was 19-20 i was vociferous about this tbh, spent so many years not being allowed to do shit then internet strangers say 'oh no, you actually aren't a person still' pissed me right off. after being over 21 i wouldn't want to date someone under that because the social scene is so different, but i'm still pretty sympathetic to wanting to be able to express autonomy that way.
100%. These are fundamental power dynamics and coercive forces at play.
for what it's worth, the brain thing is not backed up by science and doesn't need to be the crux of this argument. it's about power dynamics due to qualitatively and quantitatively differing social experiences/life exposure. a first year undergrad isn't a real adult the same way a 25 year old is, but that's not primarily because of brain development.
I actually just edited my comment to adjust that part, haha, based on seeing your comments elsewhere. I admit, that was a misconception I had, but I stand by the social development and power dynamics at play making it fundamentally coercive.
we're in total agreement! just think the argument stands on its own and doesn't need that pseudoscientific angle, though I realise it's still a very common belief so I get it.
Appreciate it, always love to learn something new, even if an argument is made with good intentions, shaky foundations are just holes bad actors can (in this case, correctly) point out to weaken the actual argument that as you say, stands on its own foundations without the shaky argument added. For that reason I am appreciative that you pointed it out to me!
