My critique of you wasn’t that you seem like you just started thinking of this issue today or yesterday or recently, it’s that you seem only able or willing to think of the issue from your personal perspective. That long paragraph to end your post only bolsters my feeling on that point, because it’s still about…

What part of the article is this a response to?

The most benign explanation I can come up with for men like DiCaprio who engage in this pattern is that they are immature men who are seeking out women who will take care of them like a mother, but won’t bother them about it like a mother would. And there aren’t a lot of available women DiCaprio’s age who are willing…

As you know, because I personally know this has already been pointed out to you, Jezebel covered that.

I don’t personally know any 38 year olds with 23 year old kids, so while that may be one explanation for you, it’s difficult for me to think that explains why others would find that relationship creepy. Also, the 75-55 scenario is closer to a parent-child age gap. Do you find that a creepier scenario than 38-23? And I…

You shouldn’t be able to run a for-profit business of any type, except for a sole proprietorship (meaning there is no legal distinction between you and the business) and claim a religious exemption from generally applicable employer requirements, period. A for-profit legal entity of any type cannot have “religious…

If there isn’t any sort of obvious “mental or psychological advantage,” then what makes it creepy for a 38 year old to regularly date 23 year olds, whereas it wouldn’t be considered as creepy (or creepy at all) for a 75 year old to regularly date 55 year olds, but would be considered irrevocably creepy for a 17 year…

None of this addresses the point, which is that there is nothing infantilizing about pointing out that it is creepy for middle aged men like DiCaprio to consistently seek out women in their 20s.

Most people probably are still maturing and figuring out life at 35, or should be at least, and it wasn’t my intention to imply otherwise. That’s what I meant by “you are still maturing and figuring out life in a way that you’re just not at 35,” that there’s a distinction between a 35 year old’s development and a 23…

If Leo’s friend group (not significant others but just people he is platonic friends with, regardless of gender) was 25-year-olds would he be similarly criticized?

You’re in people’s business right now.

Social shame and rejection seem inefficient as enforcement mechanisms. Why not make dating laws?

It’s not that 25 year olds have a “complete deficit of judgment,” nor is it that they are “incompetent to make meaningful or informed decisions about who they date,” and OP did not indicate any such ridiculous things. The point is about how, at 23, even though you’re an “adult” and legally capable of making dramatic…

At some point you start to take it as an insult, right? This one guy has more Super Bowls to his credit than any other entire FRANCHISE in the sport, holds every meaningful career passing record. He confirmed his GOAT status by leaving the franchise and coach he won his first 6 SBs with and immediately winning another…

Yep. Both can be and are true. Government relief programs can be both a great thing for those who will benefit from them the most and not enough relief for everyone.  What Elizabeth Warren is talking about here is an example of that.

So is West saying his addiction to pornography destroyed his marriage?

thank you for this brilliant analysis

What is your point?  

A lot of times it does, though!  Also, do you have anything to say about the alleged sexual assault or, nah, you just ignore that inconvenient shit.
