I don't know if you are into kitten pics, but here is a kitten hugging a toy as a gift for our awesomeness today.

Thank you. That is very nice to read. I know what you mean. I have gone off on a rage several times. It really is very easy to do and I always regretted it, but not always apologized. I have to say that you deserve credit for extending the olive branch.

Well you're going into it with an open mind then, aren't you? Hahaha, it doesn't matter. If you learn something that that is great, if it does nothing to change your mind, then you are just refusing to see it and that is your prerogative. I'm not trying to force anybody's beliefs here, I'm just trying to get you to…

Again, none of these things are your business regarding two consensual adults and you are just concern trolling, but I'm glad you understood my intention more clearly with my analogy. If you haven't yet, I, again, highly recommend you read the article [web.nmsu.edu] about the impact of marginalization on all non…

Thank you! When heated conversations turn around like this it renews my hope in the world. So, thank you for helping to renew hope! :)

Thank you. I appreciate that. Your apology is accepted. There were a few times that I got a little snippy too. So I also apologize for getting so worked up. I also appreciate how you turned it around to be respectful as well. I know that not everybody is perfect, so yes, people do judge and that is something that I,…

I know it seems that way, but I am not sticking up for my relationship by itself. I am sticking up for age gap relationships as a whole because I understand the prejudice that they face as I am in one. Just as anybody in any other non traditional relationship would stick up for their type of relationship even though…

Well, if you judge everybody as harshly as you judge this couple, then you are an unhappy person and I'm sorry. However, you are on a feminist site, it is hard to believe that this is true. Being a starred commenter on Jezebel is enough for people to logically assume that you have some liberal views and would most…

Not if it is a joke. But it doesn't matter. You didn't address anything else in my comment. Just completely glossed over your leaps of logic. I think I'm going to go join stoprobbers in her TARDIS and leave you to your perfect, heteronormative, control freak world.

Sorry? Why would that be all she has on her resume? You're using what she has on her twitter as an example of her resume? Who is the one living in a fantasy land? She is still in school and still volunteering (not an intern) at the museum. She has a few years in her academic career yet. It seems to me that she will…

First of all, if you have ever visited a forum where people in age-gap relationships hang out to support each other, you would see that there are many, many healthy age gap relationships, just as there are many, many bad and unhealthy heteronormative relationships. All types of relationships have good ones and bad…

You are anxious about a relationship between two consenting adults who have nothing to do with you because you don't understand their union? Yep, sounds analogous to me.

Why thank you! Tribe members unite! I happen to love your TARDIS.

Obviously she doesn't care if it's taken the same way, so why should you?

Hearted with enthusiasm. Very well said. For a site that regales against heteronormativity, they sure do like to judge age gap relationships between two consenting adults around here.

Because all 19 year olds are exactly the same and have the exact same tastes and interests?

I'm not trying to shame you out of your opinion. I'm merely telling you that you are being as prejudiced as conservatives. I'm pointing out your hypocrisy. If it doesn't shame you, that's no skin off my back. Just thought you should know.

First of all, she is a legal adult, teenager or no. Second of all, she is not his intern, his response in the update says specifically that she is a volunteer at the museum, not an intern. He has no power over her professionally or academically. The protege thing is unofficial and has nothing to do with her academic…

The possibility of it being wonderful and real love is not fairly small at all, actually. My husband is 27 years older than me and there is absolutely no power imbalance. He is my best friend and things are more equal in this relationship than they ever were in all the same age group relationships I have had. He is…

That is exactly it. Treat each other with respect and love and the rest doesn't matter. People often forget about our age difference after being around us for more than five minutes. We just fit together. It is the strongest and most healthy relationship I have ever had and I always dated guys my own age before I met…
