Age gap relationships are among my favorite and least favorite pieces of internet discourse. If I'm being honest, I have been a valiant defender of some age-gap relationships on Memebase. I don't like when slight age gaps are blamed for other obvious issues in relationships, and I especially don't like it when people infantilize perfectly capable young women and act like they are too naive and stupid to date someone a couple of years older than them.
This, however, is not a time when I'm going to defend an age-gap relationship. A video of an age-gap couple recently went viral on Twitter, and it is an all-too-common example of an older guy taking advantage of a young woman. Although she's a legal adult, she's got "teen" in her age, and no 29-year-old should be in a relationship with a teenager. What's far worse than the 10-year age gap is that he brags about shaping her into the woman he wants her to be. Talk about a pig!
