Why does it trigger people, especially women, so bad when older men have sex with young women?

From my experience, some men, and a lot of women seem to handle it really badly if an older man dates or sleeps with a younger woman.

For example I am 52 and have a 22 year old Fwb. This really triggers women and they hate a lot, say lot nonsense and make excuses. Interestingly they tend to support older women with young men.

So what's their deal?

Is it past negative experiences? That's understandable, but it seems more of some kind of insecurity coming from older women and prejudice coming from younger women. Especially considering how hypocritical lot of them are.

For men who hate I can see the same points as for women plus they are jealous of the older man.

A lot of it is probably due to the more prevalent examples where it is inappropriate.

I remember being 22 and I did things to experiment and understand.

As long as you understand you won't be one of her proud choices looking back, if you're both getting something out of it, why even tell anyone unless you're bragging about it.

@ScreamingFox you can't know if I won't be her proud choices, people have different experiences.

You can't say it's more prevalent that it's negative because that would depend on the specific person.

These are all just assumptions, which points me to one of my points in my question that this hate is a result of bias or prejudice.

Why shouldn't I tell anyone about it? None of your business

@Bigboy600 it's not hate, it's a perspective.

You posted publicly so you shouldn't be surprised when you get a response.

I can 100% tell you're bragging, especially because you're last two sentences contradict, you don't have a real argument, you're probably just bored and want attention because some skank will screw you. Big deal. If it's none of my business then don't post it publicly, duh.

@ScreamingFox no you are negative without knowing anything about us.

That's called ignorance. It's perfectly reasonable to attribute your ignorance to bias or prejudice.

@ScreamingFox if you wouldn't care then you wouldn't be here in the first place acting like you know it all.

I think you sound insecure about your age, and can't stand older men having fun with young women. This is a trend among women. It's beyond petty.

@Bigboy600 Not in one second crossed your mind that some women at certain age happen to be mothers and most of them wouldn't want their daughter to drag around with men who could be their father. Yes, of course, everything is about jealousy in your world because you might not even know anything else. In your dreams maybe.
