99.9% of those who have seen the movie so far say its one of the best, if not the best, Star Wars film to date. If this plot didn't work you'd see SOMEONE complain. No one has.
It’s the best Star Wars movie. People are looking for reasons to bash it for attention.

Most dudes need to stop dating younger.It's a carry-over from women being married off to property holders to unite patriarchs. That's why the romanticization of dating younger is still tolerated and even endorsed by our society for men alone. Dudes, stop it. It's gross. Date your fucking age. I don't care how happy you think you are. You're grown up. You're just part of a sick fucking ancient cycle that dehumanizes women and caters to you and has for thousands of years. Don't give me the bullshit about how I'M the one being sexist because I'm not allowing a woman to make up her own mind. The woman is in the same society you are. You both are part of a system that pairs you together. And it's fucking gross. Stop it.
Black women age FAR better than their latina and white counter parts. But nothing stands up to the Asian immortality. (Image removed from quote.)

The system is rigged At least now older, even post menopausal women look better and are given more looks in general

Honestly, in my 7 years here, I never once felt like I wasn’t able to speak my mind, even in the last few years in particular. So I’d say over-moderation, still.
if the age gap is more than four years it's fucking gross

This is not simply an opinion, there is scientific evidence to back it up. Men's skin ages more slowly because of a greater collagen density.There's more to aging well or poorly than collagen density. Men age like shit, too, even if they get less wrinkles.

I'm a "recovering anti-feminist" in that I spent several years in denial about things the patriarchy, male privilege, the wage gap, mansplaining, etc. I think I had a really strong defensive reaction because hearing those things made me extremely disgusted with my own maleness. I have a feeling that a lot of anti-feminists might be experiencing similar emotional responses, and I often wonder how that problem can be fixed. I've noticed that I didn't feel similarly about race, class, or disability. I was fully able to acknowledge that being white, being lower-middle class rather than lower class, and being born in a first-world country gave me advantages. But with gender I couldn't stay objective, and that's somewhat mysterious to me.I still have the same disgust feelings, but I'm now self-aware about them, which makes it possible for me to set them aside and analyze gender-relations objectively. But it's still really hard to not get nauseated when I think about the fact that I have a male sexuality, male physical strength, and look like a man. It reached a point that I considered gender transition because of my guilt over maleness, though now I think that's not for me. I've also done serious research in how to either chemically castrate myself or to reduce my libido down to zero. Which I understand would be bad medically-speaking, but the idea of not having these urges anymore is very difficult to resist.So I guess my question is, have other males experienced this level of shame and disgust after being exposed to feminism? And in particular, what aspects of feminist discussion set you off? I think for me the biggest "trigger" is discussions about "masculinity." I think in my mental image, I'm just an abstract being who happens to inhabit a particular physical avatar. But the word "masculinity" implies some kind of connection between me and that physical form, and that disturbs me.And also of course, the recent sexual assault discussions have raised all of this to a new level. It's become increasingly hard to put any of this stuff out of my thoughts. I think a lot of the disgust is centered around feeling like an "ogre" or an animal due to my physical appearance and the role I would play in sex. And of course, logically I know that not all sex is rape, that if a woman consented I shouldn't feel guilty for being with her, etc. But knowing those things logically doesn't make the male role any more palatable.

Yes, that is very funny, but coming from SeanBaby... that's a little hypocritical isn't it? Hasn't his shtick been "Man the 80s and 90s sure were dumb, let's look at them" for about 20 years now?

In 2002, Jones was arrested for possession of child pornography and accused of soliciting a 14-year-old boy to pose for nude photographs.[24] Jones pleaded no contest to a felony charge. His attorney emphasized that there was no allegation of improper physical contact. His punishment was five years probation, counseling, and the requirement to register as a sex offender.[25] He has been arrested twice for failing to update his sex offender status, both in Florida (2004)[26] and in California (2010).
In July 2016, Jones posed with Justin Bieber for a photo that was shared to Bieber's Instagram; the post (captioned "Ferris buellers day off") was later deleted.
First Lady Barbara Bush paraphrased the film in her 1990 commencement address at Wellesley College: "Find the joy in life, because as Ferris Bueller said on his day off, 'Life moves pretty fast; if you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it!'" Responding to the audience's enthusiastic applause, she added "I'm not going to tell George ya clapped more for Ferris than ya clapped for George."
