I Don't Care If They Can Consent, It is Still Gross to Have Sex with Women Who are Your Daughter's Age

I recently read in Entertainment Weekly that Rod Stewart is a dad for the 6th time at the age of 60. His current wife is a spry 34. I wondered what the hell was wrong with his wife, and for that matter, every cuntface idiot who married a guy who could be her father.

This is another rant about stupid things that women do that infuriate me. Why on earth would you not be utterly disgusted by a guy who wants to fuck a woman who is his daughter’s age, or worse, younger? Has that not occurred to people that such a desire is extremely nasty and perverse? Not that I ever want to compare adult women with children, but think about it: if your paramour expressed his sexual attraction to you when he was a young adult and you were an infant, it would be child abuse and molestation. No matter what, you can never close that age gap. An older guy who lusts after younger women has a problem. Of course, our culture fetishizes the sexual desirability of young women, so you almost can’t blame them, but I will anyway because I am mean and judgmental and older men leeching onto much younger women gross me out.
I have given extensive thought the topic and decided that there should be no more than 15 years separating a couple or else it gets gross. That’s for either sex. Really, I don’t think more than 10 years, but I’m willing to stretch a little and go out to 15. Otherwise, you just get women with weird daddy issues (assuming the guy is older, as is usually the case) and perverted old men trying to pretend they are young while they show off their Electra-complex women. The rule means that Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher are safe, but that Bill Clinton, Tony Randall, Rod Stewart, Bruce Willis, Kevin Costner, et al. are disgusting.

  1. My father was 29 years older than my mom. When they were married, my mom was 24 and my dad was 53. They were married almost 30 years, had a wonderful marriage (I swear I never saw them fight, even though they both lived and worked together) and were very happy. While I agree that, in general, such large age gaps are not ideal, I would appreciate it if, in the future, you would refrain from calling my mother a cuntface.

    Thanks.


    peace,

  2. While I agree with Peter's comment that the ages difference is true in most and not all cases, I also empathetically agree that the obsession with young looking women is gross. Here in London, there are commercials on TV for cosmetic surgery, and the last temp job I had was full of women obsessed with looking young.

    I'd like to propose that we petition Hollywood, asking for some movies where people of the same age fall in love with each other. Richard Gere and Wynona Ryder? Belch. Jack Nicholson and Helen Hunt? Uh Uh (honey, if that's As Good as it Gets, keep looking). Clint Eastwood and anyone under 50? Won't go. There are plenty of fine actresses - Susan Sarandon, Jessica Lange, Sigourney Weaver, and Emma Thompson off the top of my head - who are over 40, even over 50, who should be able to satisfy Hollywood’s aesthetic sense without being 20-30 years younger than their male love interests.

  3. What a fucked up uninformed reactionary knee jerk rant!!! You are way off base to categorize people simply by their age. I find that deeply gross, repugnant and offensive. Luckily, the world is much broader than your little simple mind. When I was a 30 year old woman I went out with a man 29 years older than me, and it was one of the best relationships of my life. He didn't know my age, and I didn't know his. We were too busy connecting around shared ideas and passions for politics, theatre, arts, poetry, music, film, love, children, family, and life to learn each other's age until months into the relationship. I could have cared less about his age, he was sexy and outrageously smart. I loved him very openly and deeply - and he loved me because of my personality, not my age.

    Ultimately I feel sorry for you and your narrow minded prison of a world.

  4. No, it's not knee jerk. I've felt this way for years. I'm glad that you are Peter have positive experiences with older men in your lives, but you might take a step back and wonder why there is such a fetish around the desirability of younger women. In the end, if that's what floats your boat and it isn't illegal, I sure won't stop you. But I reserve the right to find it gross. If you dated that guy when he was 30, he'd be called a child molester.

  5. Disagree. I'm 18 and I like older men. My platonic loves are over 40'. And I don't consider it strange or gross.
