Agreed, I never understood this mentality. Not only is this extremely sexist (for no reason what so ever) but ageist aswell. I’ve seen this scenario occur on Lemmy (mainly .global), and the conclusion is always the same: the woman has the mental capacity of a 5yo.
Also, like other things, this behaviour muddies the waters in what pedophilia is - further straying off from its definition just to allow others to use it as an baseless insult and a deregatory term for the inflicted.
But yeah, I only consume memes and old books, and apart from Lolita I didn’t encounter that either. There a situation is worse as she is underage, so I don’t think this is relevant

How is it sexist?
Probably in that it is often seen as fine when a woman is older, as long as the man is of age
I’m not sure how I feel, as I only have witnessed this scenario, not a teenage girl being with an adult man
You’ve never seen any teenage girl with an adult man before? Do you not consume media at all?
I mean in real life
