Not going to disagree with this and I'd say he had a point by pointing out how arbitrary the legal age of consent is. But he acted like his own experience is the same as everyone else's

And I kinda question the perspective itself, like what is it that makes a 17 year old guy and 23 year old woman vs 17 year old girl and 23 year old guy so different? Kinda seems like it assumes that girls don't have the same capacity to make wise decisions in that situation or they need to be protected

I didn’t read the article but am familiar with his whole situation a bit

It isn’t about ability to make decisions it’s just about how guys are wired, possibly something to do with testosterone and also just how men are I mean think about it. A guy would brag about that to friends not feel taken advantage of at all in a vast majority of these situations. Women are more emotional beings typically, just due to estrogen vs testosterone differences

I'll add that guys find the MILF fantasy alluring, so the possibility of having s***with an older woman is desirable for them. They don't view the guy as a victim when it occurs. But if anyone finds a 23 year old f***ing a 17 year old wrong and a form of abuse, that SHOULD be the case even when the adult is a woman Makes it seem like women can't be predatory and they definitely can

This thread isn't the place for this, but I think we as men should question the reasoning behind our perspective instead of just clinging onto the perspective
