When Older Women Date Younger Men

There’s a growing trend of younger men dating older women — and unlike the backlash older men face, this shift can be perceived as women reclaiming their power, Emily Leibert argues on “The Opinions.”

There is a huge amount of sexism that we see towards older men dating younger women. But the difference, again, is that women are taking back power. And even if it is imperfect, even if it is a small amount of power, it is something to them. And I don’t think it’s necessarily up to us to sit here and tell a woman how much power she does or does not have in her relationship or in her sex life. The reality is, while many of these women are saying that they’re having amazing sex and I am very, very happy for them, we’re not in those bedrooms and we don’t know what dynamics are playing out and how they are testing the waters of that. Another thing that I think is really interesting is that I think we have to take into account aesthetics and beautification, because women are getting face-lifts at 35, 40, 45 years old. It is possible to technically look young forever. And in that sense, I don’t think outwardly there is as much taboo, because you could technically look very similar age to a 25-year-old or 28-year-old. But again, that points out the inherent sexism in that you should be able to date whoever you want. And why are we judging older women for dating throughout the aging spectrum?

There’s a growing trend of younger men dating older women — and unlike the backlash older men face, this shift can be perceived as women reclaiming their power, Emily Leibert argues on “The Opinions.”
