Age gap discourse has unironically gone too far

I don't really like the age gap discourse. I think it is attempting to use identity politics to explain structural peobelms. Why is an age gap bad? Because cis het relationships are inherently bad and without sufficient experience to navigate them younger partners are likely to be hurt? Or because they are unlikely to lead to a successful marriage and kids? That's awfully partirarchy pilled. Let's imagine the converse. Which is better a boomer? Or a boomer that has stayed socially adaptable enough to be able to prosocially enguage with the younger generations? I get you don't want boomers being predatory in other spaces but that is a failure to develop the tools to exclude predatory people. Something about this discourse and skill based match making discourse is kicking around in my head and ai haven't figured out a dialectic answer to all this.
I dont think about it enough to make it a real coherent thought but im 99% sure that hookup culture and the age gap discourse stuff is linked.
That might have legs. I think hookup. Culture and the orgasim gap might be factors here
Its hard for me to really know cuz i dont honestly know much of anything about how heterosexual relationships work but id guess it plays into how people view relationships in general.
