yeah i completely agree with this actually. at 26 your brain is done growing. at 19 you are still (developmentally speaking) dumb as fuck.
i think the real issue is when you start to tack on a few more years to the older partner but i do still think it's hella gross and weird to perv on people significantly younger than you are :shrug-outta-hecks:
it doesn't help that (at least in my experience) the older partner usually makes a habit of dating young, dicaprio-style
While I agree that a 26 year old dating a 19 year old seems pretty gross, "brain development" talk is very very off-putting to me because its being used to try and deny trans people health care even after legal adulthood. I don't know what point I'm trying to make here, just feels iffy.
Says who? My understanding is that in a large population, certain specific structures in the brain were observed to slow their rate of change around the age of 25. Other parts of the brain continued to change forever. Certain people may experience the changes earlier or later. If you really believe that the problem with an age gap relationship is physical differences between the brains of the partners, do you also think that neurodiverse people shouldn't be able to consent at all?
A 26 and a 19 year old are still gross tho.
