Topic: Is there shame between a couple where there's an age difference?
Anonymous A started this discussion 5 years ago#101,171
Like a big age gap? Some people say that age is but a number but that sounds like they'll be okay with pedophilia even if the statement is concerning consenting adults. There are others who say it's risky because the older partner might try to use their age as a means to assert dominance over the younger partner. Where does Minichan weigh in on this matter?

There is a 20 year difference between my mother and her current husband. Her biggest complaint is that he can be hard headed, and refuses to wear his hearing aid. Otherwise, he treats her just as well as my father did.

It is very culturally-based.

I wonder, does she have a hard time getting him to wear a face mask?

In US culture, as long as both parties are over 18, it is generally ok, although a difference of, say, 30 years, might be looked down upon by some people.

What if one partner is 50 who gets confused for being in their 20s and 30s while the other is in their late 20s and early 30s?

I mean, I have no problem with it, but some more conservative, traditional people might.

I thought the conservative notion was that one partner has to be older.

The woman should be half the man's age plus 7. Wisdom from the ancients.

I know of a 91 year old man who married a 13 year old girl. He was the last US Civil War veteran alive at the time.

Why? If the person is 29, 30, or 31 then why does it matter?

Don't ask me. Ask the ancients. It's their wisdom.

I don't understand how you're getting from age of consent to replacing white people. Side note, in some US states there is no age restriction for marriage.
@OP
I mean I would look at differences in maturity/what stage of life both partners are in as well as just age (assuming both are at least 20ish). The concern is that the partner who is older/has more life experience will be able to manipulate the younger/less experienced/more naïve partner, who will go along with it because "they're older and so they know better"

No one should be allowed to marry anyone. We should put everyone's name into a giant computer and then have it randomly pair people who must live together forever.

Sterilise everyone but save their eggs and sperms, and create new babies eugenically using artificial wombs, and raise them all in giant boarding schools.

As long as the status quo continues and it's mostly black babies aborted, I don't think age differences matter so much

Can you imagine if it drew Matt and Syntax's name? That would be fucking epic!

We will have to manage population of humanity at some point! Ideally, global population will be reduced to 500 million people.

What does it mean to "manage" the population and who exactly gets to do the "managing"? This feels a bit like a crime against humanity tbh.

Destroy all humans, and the ones who do the managing will be decided by the popular vote!

Ok so we are going to vote on who gets to kill 6.5 billion people. Seems like a foolproof plan with absolutely no risks or downside at all.

The plan is to Sterilise 8 billion people and eugenically pair stored sperm and eggs in artificial wombs and raise the children in big boarding schools.
