  • For example, one partner earning substantially more money than the other is also an unbalanced power dynamic.

    Key differences here.

    Age is easily calculable and society already legislates around age, so there is a discourse to be had about what the exact "rules" should be, whereas other "power dynamics" are more complex and nuance, it wouldn't really be possible or desirable to have the police monitoring people's financial status to make sure they weren't sleeping with people significantly poorer than them.

    Also, with age and sex, everyone (besides AnCaps) seems to recognize that there is definitely such a thing as a "child", as in someone too young that adults shouldn't be having sex with them (and for very young children just shouldn't be having sex at all), age gap discourse just seems to be an extension of the general cultural debate about where exactly that line is drawn.

    I mean I know it's not literally taught EVERYWHERE, just that it some exposure in some non-western cultures.

    I find it a bit weird you haven't at least heard of the Odyssey by cultural osmosis. I've never technically read it but I like know the basic points of the story.


  • Honestly Canada is the weirdest one here. It's pretty easy to get Amerikkkans on board for a war against scary brown people a thousand miles away, especially if they worship a different religion or are commies. But... invading a nation right next door filled with predominantly English speaking, predominantly Christian, whites who have a long history of cultural intermingling with the US? I really think that's gonna be a hard sell.

    I think MAGA is just overestimating how many Canadian CHUDs are pro-annexation.
