We’re gonna need a bigger rocket.

No, if you can’t explain ‘a personal thing’ rationally, then it is by definition irrational.

So an irrational feeling then?

I’m a 47-year old woman and I don’t find teenagers sexually attractive; they look unfinished.

so, does the 1/2 your age + seven rule largely hold for you?

I knew a girl like that back in high school..smart as could be and from a decent family (i.e. one that cared about things like education and character). Her parents tried too hard to follow the hip, cool and permissive stereotype and in 9th grade, she dropped out of a really good, rigorous private school and moved in…

He dated a 20 year old when he was 66. Walked her down a red carpet and everything. He needs to sit down.

Wait, you forgot Ted Nugent!

Amber was/is married to David Cross who is two decades older than she is, so age difference isn’t itself the problem. The problem is James Woods using it as a shield for his hatred of gay people (men, specifically, I’d bet).

I lived in Hollywood in the 1990s and saw James Wood at a restaurant with a woman who was at least 20 years younger than him.

I was 18 when I started dating the 24 year old man who became my husband of 30 years. While I know we have to draw lines to protect young people from predators, and even from themselves, I tend to be more fluid and nuanced about age differences.

James Woods, like most of his unhinged brethren, exists only in opposition to ideas. Entirely incapable of advancing the human condition or articulating arguments for anything, they can only scream, “No!” in the face of progress and obstruct the work of others.

Pretty fun to read Sharapova going on about how big and strong Serena is in person considering Sharapova has 5 inches on Serena.

So not only does Tamblyn’s description of the encounter ring true, she follows/juxtaposes it with this;
