The author reflects on the generational gap in understanding age-gap relationships, especially in the context of young people's increasingly critical perspective. She highlights the societal shift from just judging relationships with significant power imbalances to scrutinizing any relationship with an age difference—citing the online reactions to JoJo Siwa's queer relationship with a 27-year-old. This evolution in discourse leaves her confused, especially as she herself is in a relationship where there is a 10-year age difference. The article explores themes of societal norms, generational divides, and the complexities of modern dating.
As I navigate the increasingly complex discourse around age-gap relationships, I find myself confronted by a narrative that condemns any age difference regardless of context.
The current climate around Problematic Age Gaps is increasingly critical, moving beyond concerns of power imbalances to scrutinizing any relationship with an age difference.
