You don't need to deny that women have agency in order to scrutinize the beliefs, behaviors, and attitudes of the individuals they may be interested in. I know little-to-nothing about Braff but given how weird and gross older men are about young women, on first glance it doesn't look good.

the replies to that tweet getting hung up about three year age differences are extremely not getting the joke

in your mid twenties you start to have a glimmer of realization that "drat people in their early twenties are still children" and that just gets stronger over time

This is the truest thing I've seen related to this.

I wouldn’t date someone who is 23 not necessarily because that is a lot younger than me, but also because there is no way in hell that person is in the same developmental point in their life as I am and I cannot see how our lives would be congruent in any way other than superficial or physical.

A 21 year age gap speaks to a wide gulf in life experience between people. A 44 year old is, and should be, in a different place in his life than a 23 year old. If two people are dating with that big an age gap, then either:

1. They are somehow in the same place in their life despite their age difference and can make it work, or

2. The older individual is taking advantage of the younger, either through increased money, increased life experience, or increased influence, and it's an inherently imbalanced relationship, even if the younger is not aware of the power imbalance between them and believes they are making a free choice.

Option 1 is not impossible. It happens. Someone's unusually mature or unusually immature, and things can work, more power to them. But option 2 is much more common, and can also be a highly gendered situation as men typically hold more economic and social power than women their own age, much less women young enough to be their daughter. We're also in an era where having a significant amount of power over your spouse is considered inappropriate and weird, which I at least think is a good change. So yeah, it raises eyebrows, and for a good reason.

Also, no one should date twenty-year-olds other than other twenty-year-olds. Have you met one? Do you remember how dumb you were in your early twenties? Yikes.

A couple, uh, couples I know are in that situation and they've both been together for the better part of a decade so I'm honestly not quite sure where things shake out along those lines. Apparently it can work, but I just get a real :yikes: feeling every time I think about the dynamics where the guy has children the same age or older than the woman he's marrying.

Whilst I can appreciate this, most marriages are between people no more than 6 years apart and divorce is at an all time high. Ergo, the larger the difference in age the more likely the relationship will last

What are you comparing to? Marriages of antiquity, where divorce was hard or impossible to get? Do you think it's easier or harder to get a divorce if your spouse is wealthier and more influential than you are?

Edit: Actually, full confession, I'm in a class right now (Restoration and Eighteenth-Century Literature, if you're curious) and I probably should not let academic debate filter onto Something Awful. This is probably not the right place for this. Sorry.

I always wonder about this "traditional masculinity" - its proponents say that it's the key to a healthy and stable society, but they also say that it's destroyed very easily, by marrying an insufficiently feminine woman, or by wearing the wrong clothes, or by a thousand other things that might strike at any time. Doesn't seem to me that it's up to the challenge of providing the essential bedrock of our society if the wrong colour tie can knock it off course.

What is this postmodern Cultural Marxist filth? Where are all our traditional narratives of successful Alpha males?

Exactly. Same goes for 'national identity' or 'culture'. You can cause gammon-brains to melt by saying "If the Great British National Identity can be threatened by a 3% rise in foreign cider sales, then it's clearly not a very strong or worthwhile identity, is it?"
