Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.

No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link.

MODERATORS
How old are you? I agree with your infantilization comment but you're wrong here. I'm middle aged. A girl in her 20s literally looks like a child to me and the older I get, the more I see it's fucking gross when older men date women that make them feel like they're fucking little girls.
You must be looking at the wrong 20yr olds, take a walk around a university campus and tell me they're kids.
And how old are you?
I'm old enough to look at 22yr olds and see them as grown women. Pretty gross to see them as anything less honestly.
The original commenter said
They didn't say anything about women being or looking like children.
It's not infantilizing to recognize that, for them, being at significantly different life stages would not be the kind of relationship they want.
You're really protecting a lot onto the other guys comments, dude. I'm only 30 and 20yr Olds look like children, both men and women. It has literally nothing to do with disrespect and everything to do perception of others as you age.
That's why they kept asking you your age. You're clearly also a child who doesn't understand it yet.
Yeah. If he's not a kid fucker, he's a kid.
Says the clown acting like grown women are kids.
Anything less? Different isn't less. I didn't say less. Distraction.
I hire and mentor women that age. I still think anyone that age, whether their gender, looks like a kid, when you're older. And I don't like fucking kids, or adults that look like kids. How gross of me.
So how old are you? Old enough to second guess how you're going to be received by responding directly?
