Someone noticed that Jake Gyllenhaal has been calling Tom Holland a "kid" during interviews. And yet...his girlfriend is the same age as tom Holland

🤢

So people have picked up on how...disturbing that is.

I'm pretty sure we've all seen this before though. Men who are older are in full agreement that hanging out with high school boys or even college guys is super weird. And it's REALLY weird if a 40+ year old is going to some 20 year old guys house to hang. One of the LVM idols (joe Rogan) even has a story about how he was befriended by an older man when he was young and now as an adult he can recognize how creepy and weird that guy was. And his story was met with horror from his audience who all agreed that the older man was creepy to want to hang out with young guys. They can see the nuance that maybe it's not technically pedophilia, but there's definitely something VERY off about those guys and the nature of those friendships is pathetic at best but often fully predatory. They get it. They see it. It's weird because it's weird. So they don't deny the common sense truth that it's inappropriate to hang out with "kids".

But if the "kid" is a girl or a woman? Weelllll suddenly it's not creepy at all anymore 🙃. Suddenly age is just a number, so don't be so bitter about it! 🤫 Suddenly they care about "infantalizing" women (don't you dare!) and speak highly of maturity levels of these "kids". In fact they will start relationships with them.

Hmmmmmmmm.
