I mean the vast majority of women around the world date and then marry a man a couple of years older than them for many of the same reasons stated in the article. It’s just that most people don’t take it to the extreme of a 10 year age gap when you’re 20, and getting married at 23, like the author of this terribly written article did. For the vast majority of people, it’s usually a 2-3 year age gap with the husband being the older partner, and getting married in the mid 20s or early 30s.

So what is the point of this article? That taking patriarchal norms to their extremes is somehow good? If that were true, most women and men would be doing that, but evidently they are not. I legitimately do not understand why any woman would argue that exacerbating patriarchal relationship norms is a good thing.
