Why is it ok for a younger man to date an older woman? But is frowed upon when a man dates a much much younger feeeeeeeemale?
Woman. The word you’re looking for here is woman.
The answer to your question is, The Patriarchy. We are talking about power imbalance here, in.addition to age differential.
In both situations that you’re describing, the man likely has a lopsided size and strength advantage, and has the ability to overpower, rape, and/or kill the woman at any time of their choosing.
In the case of the older man and younger woman, the man also has additional financial power and social leverage on top of the size and strength differential.
You now have sufficient information to pull your head out of your ass on the topic.
