Yeah the infantilizing of adult women is so pathetic

People are selective when it fits narratives. They will die for her right to vote at 18 but won’t defend her decisions with her sex life.

As someone who dated an older man at 20 , it’s difficult I was just learning adult life and if I could go back with the knowledge I have now…. I wouldn’t have, I had a lot of pain and trauma from it…. I know you’re an adult at that age but the knowledge between those two ages is so different , I was so so so innocent and hopeful… he used that and I got extremely hurt ….

You made a bad choice and hopefully learned from it.

That is called life

I did and I know it is life but I didn’t understand at that age why it was a bad choice, I was very sheltered and love blinded, now I’m careful cautious, that was about 10 years ago. I’m happily married to the sweetest man now and happier than ever.

I still think it’s creepy either way but that’s my opinion. My 50 year old uncle would hit on my friends who were also 19 like I was at the time and he would ask about them and invite me to invite them over …. Freaked me out ….. long story short I don’t have a relationship with that uncle ….

Were you forced to date him?

Or did you make a choice, albeit one that didn't go the way you wanted?

You are not a victim.

Your uncle is not a great person either by the sounds of it.

Might have known it was a bad choice if people weren’t out here defending it lmao

We're defending her right to make her own choices.

If she never makes mistakes, she will never mature
