Well, Brad Pitt is a wife-beater and child-strangler so…

OK so there are many men mentioned in this article who deserve flack and are trash and yeah Noel Gallagher is an asshole but can we maybe not infantilize his 45 year old partner. She is 45. 45 is mature. The author is acting like Noel is dating a 17 year old.
Also sorry but mentioning the groomer and her boyfriend as a positive example ain’t it.
Like you can’t have a problem with a 59 year old dating a 45 year old who he met when she was 43 and then be like “Oh that girlboss met this gay when he was a teenager and she was 40, girlboss slay”
I am sorry this ain’t it.
Like we can talk about uneven age and power dynamics but some of the examples just ain’t it.

Brad Pitt? The Brad Pitt that abused his wife and children and absolutely terrified them. The Brad Shit-I mean Pitt-that has never had consequences, the Brad Pitt that is using the legal system to still torture his ex wife.
What a piece of shit!!!

Omg what crap. I love how Sam Taylor Johnson is buried at the end. Like “ok sure some women marry younger men but still the patriarchy!”. She, a married woman in her 30s, dated an 18 year old. And she was his director, his de facto boss, at the time. Except for wife beater Pitt she’s the worst person listed.

This is a really poorly written article, where most of the thesis is derived from ascribing random motives to the men in question (do they really believe they’re avant garde? I doubt it.)
I appreciate that the author at least correctly identifies her own response. She is angry because her male peers consistently date “younger models” of herself. And she’s right – it *is* misogynistic and indicative of wider prejudices around women’s perceived attractiveness as they age that do not apply to men.
I hope that people can be honest about their reactions to age gap relationships going forwards. The above is seen as a bitter and self-centred reaction, so people pearl clutch about “power dynamics” but when the women in question are 45+ that just sounds delusional. (Categorically does not apply when the woman in question is a young adult, obviously.)

Men and their pedophile tendencies…womp womp.
Just another group of men showing the patriarchy is a total failure while they also ardently adhering to the pedophile patriarchy

The core premises of the article is false. Men have been doing this since the beginning of time and it’s not to look cool…

My husband and I have a 20+ year gap & have been married for 25 years. He’s my second husband, the love of my life & heart skill skips a beat when he smiles. We’ve gotten nasty
Looks from the start and it’s always funny to me that people waste time & energy getting pissed over my life choices.

Look, I have my own thoughts and feelings about age gap relationships, but criticising Liam Gallagher for dating a 45 year old women while he’s in his late 50’s is the most ridiculous thing I read in a while.
Infantilizing grown ass women is not it.

This article is like months behind on gossip. Noel Gallagher was out spotted dating a 28-year old woman back in May.

Since when is 60+ a “mid-life” crisis?

We need to demand better from online news media.
