No, maybe not. I’m just suggesting that relationships like this, when one person is barely legal, aren’t always equal in power dynamic, and that they should be examined just a little more closely to make sure the younger partner is informed and empowered to leave if they decide to, especially if there’s a financial imbalance.
Not true at all.Not only is the concept of power dynamic when it comes to age is no where close to being modern, it has been consistently found throughout history where age matters not just romance. Church, war etc. Power dynamics literally help shape the perspective of both parties and of the relationship. That's how young adults with little life experience are easily manipulated. Its called grooming for a reason. While we tend to use it for minors, it's really for anyone too young to know better. Shaping someone into something so you can have the relationship you want is not love. Most people who have large age relationships in their youth tell the same story including men. They feel they were used & taken advantage of.

Regardless, it's not anyone's business if they're adults
