I can’t argue with that. I want him in the Senate. But I can’t seem to hold my tongue that XYZ non sequitur means he wasn’t interested in teens in his thirties. Because he was. Humans are flawed.
Human men in their 30’s have been interested in teen women since there have been people.
It is only very recently that this was considered odd.
I think it has happened in our society for two reasons.
First, we have increased the age of taking adult responsibilities to the middle 20’s, as evidenced by the popular rise of stay on parents insurance to 26 and the increasing age of marriage.
Second, the older women in the feminist movement do not want competition with young women. If they can define those young women as out-of-bounds they eliminate much of the competition.
Most human females are sexually mature by age 14.
I am not saying they should be sexually active, or marry, at age 14. But they are not children in a sexual sense.
As a person who dated a 31 year old man at age 18/19 in Alabama in 1981 I can assure you that I was the one who pursued him.
We were also not an unusual couple in our circle.
I don’t see that as a flaw.. sorry.
