Throw them a real curveball: Sarah Paulson (47) and Holland Taylor (79).

No, no, it’s only soft, ladybrains that aren’t capable of thought until age 30 or so. 

Yeah, I love coming to Jezebel to see feminist takes like “Women are fucking idiots who can’t make important decisions until they’re at least 26.”

Damn, if a 24 year old can’t decide things like who to date, should we let her make reproductive choices? Maybe her mom should have to approve those too?

Considering she was his teacher....

As per Jezebel:

Cool. Any thoughts to share about Emmanuel and Brigitte Macron’s 24-year age difference? Can’t say I’ve ever seen anything derogatory here regarding their age difference... and theirs is more worthy of questioning, by way of timing, than Florence Pugh and Zach Braff’s.

So she’s cool with 18 year olds with no real world experiences getting kicked out of the house, sent to the military, smoking...Porn. But god forbid a dude in his mid 20's wants to date her 21 year old daughter *eye roll*.

Better source that claim, because as recently as a few days ago, Sudeikis said “he would never condone [Wilde] being served in such an inappropriate manner.”

This person you are quoting is a random lawyer and writer who wrote crappy political posts on medium a few years ago. She’s very much NOT a neuroscientist in any way. Consider using google before you randomly assert that you’re quoting some kind of expert.

They’re both consenting adults. There’s no indication Braff did anything untoward with her, therefore no reason for any of us to bitch about it OR bully Pugh about it enough to break it off.

Which is completely fair.

Yes, Pugh is only 24. Why, that’s nowhere near consenting adult age! She’s no different from a 12-year-old and must be protected! No way she can make her own decisions regarding who she wants to date!

Not to mention how unfeminist it is to infantilize a fucking 24 year old woman like this by acting like she couldn’t possibly be of sound mind to choose to date someone older, but young men are fully capable of making that choice.

We had a stretch in the 90s of these relationships. Beatty-Bennning; Douglas-Zeta Jones and Ford-Flockhart

This article just set my teeth badly on edge. There’s a 22 year age difference in my relationship; we met when I was 27. For the first few years EVERYONE commented. It was fucking horrible. I just feel so badly for them both because that could’ve easily been me...minus the money.

That whole story and why people cared so much has always seemed so weird to me - I’ve never personally understood what the big deal is about the age difference. It’s not like she’s 16-18 dating a 42 year old. She’s in her mid 20s, and by every measure is an extremely successful and acclaimed actress. Are people…

Yeah, at least Braff and Pugh don’t have kids stuck in the middle of a parent taking off for another continent for a relationship that’s going to last about 10 minutes.

Did I side-eye her getting into that relationship? Yes, but she’s an adult and can make her own choices. I, myself included, dated men who were older at her age, and I would not have appreciated being mocked ruthlessly and judged by women who were ‘concerned’ for me. I certainly would not have listened to the…

Congrats to Jez for playing their part in the bullying!
