minus-squareBrave Little Hitachi Wand@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·3 months agoWhen did we as a society give up on the “½ X +7” minimum dating age formula?
minus-squareFauxLiving@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·3 months agoWhen we decided to mind our own business and stop moralizing other people’s relationships based on our personal feelings.
minus-squaresleen@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·3 months agoExactly, this “rule” is really just equivalent to other forms of snake oil there is. It is baseless and completely made up.
minus-squareGhostedIC@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up1·3 months agoFound Leo’s account. Seriously though why so hostile about this? Of course it’s made up, it’s a general rule of thumb, and it describes whether people are likely to look at a couple and say, “ew”.
minus-squareyogsototh@programming.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·3 months agoOne day I mentionned this rule while having a dinner with friends. One of them was a woman I met fir the first time. It turned out his husband was way older than this rule allowed when they met. And now that the rule is fine, she didn’t felt bad about her husband. Seriously, I felt so shitty. Let people loves who they love without discrimination as long as this is consensual between adults.
