No, that’s not how it works. You wrote a comment following a blog post. It is meant to be responded to. The whole point is that people respond to one another. I disagree with your opinion and I’m writing my own comment to you.

You accused him of being a predator. Not explicitly, but implicitly. You also basically suggested he’s trapped the younger man and prevented him from a “healthy relationship”, so you’re saying this is an unhealthy one. That’s a lot of baseless claims.

Most people would prefer some evidence of all the wild accusations you’re throwing around against a third party.

I work with a 30 yo woman who dates a 60 yo man, she went after him because she likes men much older. he is not loaded and they seem to be truly in love. I am 45 and my daughter is 25 so I to me it is just weird (shudder) but hey, to each his own.

A forty year old isn’t young and naive, and is fully capable of making their own decisions about who they want to be in a relationship with, be they male or female. They’ve been together for 15 years, just let them live their lives.

While I will admit that a 50-year age difference gives me pause, how does this make Wofford a predator of any kind?

Who is “preying”? mid 20s is a grown ass adult.

It’s a little weird but who cares? And the fact that they’ve been together for 15 years kind of speaks to the fact that it isn’t just a boy toy situation.

When I was 26 I dated a 33 year old and my friends all quite seriously asked me why I was dating “that old guy”.

i guess love is love but at 27 i can not imagine being with a guy in his 70s......

How can they be your favorite when there is that Jennifer Lawrence and Lil Wayne rumor that I am starting right this minute?

My response was about how Black Lives matter in the global arena. I am 100% against the conflation of all lives & black lives rhetoric, so I am doubtful that my remark offered anything akin to #alllivesmatter.

Dummy, the violence that is perpetrated against African Americans is a part of “global violence.” Amazing how you just dismissed the violence in North America isn’t a part of the world. The violence against black Americans is remarkable and saddening and has shaped the world significantly.

He was actually a really nice person and a lovely father. That made it feel all the more painful, almost like a betrayal. He could have an awesome, smart, accomplished daughter like me and still be so profoundly unwoke?

It’s adorable how you, a foreigner, have no idea of the realities of Blackness in America. Black people here are not at all making any decisions to come to your country and do anything. The idea that Black people are “all equally American occupiers” is laughable to anyone who acknowledges our history and current…

Yes, she has, so I know she can do that without shitting on Black people. And I wish she would.

oh my god, that person #alllivesmatter’d you about DOGS

Yes—this. Mostly/sort of related, I went to a charity event (sort of—I paid $10 cover for a bar and the money went to a pit bull charity) and my boyfriend bought me a t-shirt that has the charity name on it. Someone actually got mad at me that I would buy a t-shirt from this charity that doesn’t help ALL dogs. Like,…

So, more of the usual from non-Black POC : Somehow blaming us for being a hypervisible minority and acting like we are the ones that have any kind of control over their visibility and issues. (While of course remaining silent on the subject of the rampant anti-Black racism within their own group. Of course.)

Hah, yeah, I'm afraid you'll have to keep living in a world that also contains VERY SEXY COCONUT BERRY VANILLA BODY SEX SHIMMER CARMEL CUCUMBER SPLASH OIL SPARKLE LOTION.
