I thought this was really fucking funny, looking at it on my phone at work.

    I’m in my late 20s, and the idea of having sex with an 18 or 19 year old or really anyone under 21 makes my skin crawl. Those are children, it feels gross to even think about, even though they are technically adults.

    I don’t even mean this to limit the abilities of young adults, I think the drinking and voting ages should both be lower, I trust young adults to do good work and make important decisions. But a sexual or romantic relationship? Ew, no, wtf. The inherent power dynamic of that age gap, plus the difference in life and relationship experience, it very much makes me go libertarian-alert at the older person. Like, why do you want to be with someone that much younger than you? What does that say about you?

    Gross, don’t like it. Don’t think I really added anything that hadn’t already been said here but still.
