Predatory sexual behaviour isn't acceptable just because a woman does it

Article here. Excerpt:

'Fair enough. She’s right to point out that there shouldn’t be a sexual sell-by-date for women. But it’s not true that age disparity in movies between leading older men and young female stars is ‘not even discussed’.

People are always clutching their pearls at the likes of Leonardo DiCaprio and his string of nubile lovelies, or pointing out how absurd it is that Tom Cruise’s leading ladies are half his age.

It’s not just Hollywood, either: Donald Trump’s wife Melania is 24 years younger than him. And let’s face it: a lot of those cheering on Bridget playing tonsil hockey with someone 27 years her junior would be the same people who despise Trump for it.

And this is where, for me, the problem lies. If we chastise such behaviour in a man, why do we laud it in a woman? Why is there this notion that it’s somehow fine because it is ‘feminism’.

I don’t get it. Predatory behaviour is predatory behaviour. Women need to be very careful about this.'

... a 60-YO woman getting railed by a 25-YO isn't predatory. A 30-YO woman "having sex" with a 14-YO is however. THAT is a sexual predator.
