What needs to be unpacked is whatever relation hang-ups the writers here have and what they think they are doing

I remember one where the writer tried to argue that a woman in her early twenties should essentially still be considered a child because our brains aren’t fully developed at that age.

J.lo feels like an outsider bc according to industry sources, she is a fucking nightmare to work with. Doesn’t like other women at all.

Time for a judge’s ruling. What’s an acceptable age gap?

Here are some success stories.

Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively are 11 years apart and have been married for 10 years.

This. There’s a weird puritanical current in progressive feminism that really infantilizes women and can’t seem to see them as anything other than potential victims. 

Yeah- seriously, she’s 22. She’s old enough to date whoever she wants, even if they’re lame 40 something guys 

BTW, the reason JLo looks good is because that’s how she makes her living.

Oh please.

This plus no consideration of this maybe not being a date too - - because normal adults can also be friends with people of the opposite sex. I go out to lunch and dinner with my guy friends regularly - sometimes we even share an Uber. Don’t get me wrong, John Mayer seems like a skeeve in the grand scheme of things,…

The lead-actors in all big bollywood movies are white-indians (especially the women); never had a dark-skinned big star.

“ the ages of 21 and 28, I am begging you to find Shipka and show her that going to brunch with people her age is miles more fun than pasta bolognese with these dudes.”

I would love it if Jezebel would just make an official statement of editorial directional here and just come clean about their bourgeois handwringing. 

Jez and the commenters have always been obsessed with age gaps for as long as I’ve been reading this site (I miss the old Gawker days, sigh). Anyway, as near as I can tell, age gaps are definitely a female obsession, but as of late it seems to have spilled over into American life in general. We’ve infantilized our…

This. And no amount of lecturing will change her mind. She’s going to make her own mistakes and hopefully learn and grow from them, like the rest of us. Her mistakes seem to be older dudes, for some of us it’s man children, for others players, etc. No amount of well meaning advice from friends ever stopped me from…

Yeah. I mean, Mayer’s a douche but at the end of the day, Shipka’s old enough to make her own mistakes. 

Seriously, what is with Jez’s recent obsession with age gaps? This has to be the fifth (or more, I wasn’t counting) article about different people in the past few weeks.

They’re consenting adults that work in completely different industries. It is quite literally none of your concern.

Guy notorious for banging young women bangs another young woman. Breaking news!

My god could she be more basic?

The IUD lies are still prevalent. I was told I’d feel some “pressure” which was really more like an “ice pick to the uterus”. I would still do it, but why all the lies? And why is no local anesthetic offered?

Nia L0ng’s ex still wants decent seats at the Garden.
