    The fact that he was so open and not defensive about the question shows he is a thoughtful person. Sometimes when the younger generation is being so open minded about other things, they can still tend to a bit ageist.

    •  Před 2 měsíci +13

      I've always said ageism is the "ism" blind spot of many younger people (ok boomer) which is interesting because this generation is on HIGH alert when it comes to other "isms" - racism, sexism, etc.

      I don't believe the term "ageist" is the right application for this context. To be ageist would be look down on someone or to make cruel assumptions due to age without knowing the person at all. Ex: Deciding someone can't participate in sports if you're older or assuming you don't have valid information/input if you're younger. etc
      Criticizing someone for dating a much younger person isn't ageist. It's a fair criticism.
      It makes someone wonder why wouldn't you date someone closer to your age in a similar life-stage where you can share cultural/historical experiences.
      She wasn't even born yet when he was 24.
      Personally- I think respecting life stages is really important and them meeting when she's 30 while weird to me, isn't terrible.
      I would worry about how his daughter feels about it all.

      Im sorry to correct you but nobody has said ok boomer since 2019 and you are pretty wrong about gen z being on high alert when it comes to other "isms" i am currently in highschool and the amount of sexist pigs i have to deal with is shocking, sexism is pretty prevelent among teenage boys. I know quite a few racists too. The media likes to portray gen z as this social justice warrior accepting generation and maybe around 2020 we once were but lately things seemed to have soured and more and more im seeing just downright hateful stuff coming from people my age, thats why i dont have social media cause of the amount of toxicity. I wouldnt say ageism is that prevelant i mean alot of my gen admire older people as they got to live through the 90s/2000s which are seeing a huge revival in fashion and music and tv.

He's a public figure and I'm sure he probably expected this question to come up sooner or later and both he and the interview handled it with honesty and I think integrity. She seemed very happy and satisfied with his answer and she didn't push him. To me it seemed like a good sweet honest conversation but I also understand how people may not like that. Michael didn't seem fazed so maybe look at his reaction as a guide for this interaction.

    I'm honestly so glad/relieved/surprised to see that all of the comments here are positive. It always confused me growing up that people automatically get angry about this sort of thing. Obviously I understand being protective of kids being preyed upon, or older people getting preyed upon by gold-diggers, and even just particularly naive young adults getting preyed upon by bad people, but there are plenty of relationships where both people just have a connection and there's nothing predatory about it. They're two individuals who happen to profoundly like each other, and both are old enough to understand how the ins-and-outs of relationships work. I get so stressed for Michael thinking how often he probably has to answer this question, or deal with people making insensitive jokes/comments about it. Like he was probably super stressed and reluctant at first to get into this relationship because it was like, _We know how we feel about each other, but how are other people gonna treat/react to us? Is this worth all the stress that's gonna cause?_ Clearly this was a very innocent situation that they didn't enter into lightly, and gave so much consideration to it, and clearly just loved each other too much to walk away. They vibe with each other and understand one another, and make each other too happy to call it quits. And heck, I'd understand even if at some point down the road that changes, but these days relationships are likely to end much sooner due to other circumstances, regardless.

      I think it's just because these kinds of relationships often lead to large power imbalances. I also think it's weird when people actively seek out those much younger than them. When I first learned of this age gap, I was a little put off at first, but I was hopeful that this would be the exception to the rule, and it seems that, luckily, that is the case.

    • @korgaupisc129
      @korgaupisc129 Před 2 měsíci +17

      @@sij809 okay, so I read some stuff on this now to hopefully better understand and explain why I feel this way. The following is about high age gaps in general, not specifically directed at Michael and Anna.
      The first thing that comes to mind is the power imbalance due to experience, life stability and wealth which older people tend to have more of. Because they have less romantic experience, young people might be less able to identify manipulation, warning signs, problems in general. And dependence on a partner, especially financial dependence removes degrees of freedom from choices.
      With the power imbalance comes the feeling that high age gaps are exploitative.
      Specifically in older man - younger woman couples, historically, the fertility of the woman gets exploited. Probably less relevant in this form today.
      For me, men choosing much younger women (especially if it happens repeatedly) has a somewhat misogynistic undertone, because woman are considered to be most attractive, at their peak, in their twenties and then "lose value" as they age.
      In a patriarchal society men already hold power over women which only increases if the age gap is big. That is not to say that older woman - younger man couples or same sex couples don't have a similiar power imbalance, see second paragraph.
      From what I've read, people seem to assume that high age gap relationships don't last as long, which is supported by studies. Research also shows higher rates of violence and intimate partner homicide in high age gap relationships.
      Something interesting I found: it's hypothesized that people judge age gaps because they see the relationships as transactional, as in ressources get exchanged for sex. Therefore people who endorse sex work condemn age gaps less. This transactionality can cause judgement against the younger person (selling their body, gold diggers, sluts) or the older person (paying for sex, paying for a pretty young thing to show around).
      I am open the possibility that my view point on high age gaps is biased, but still, the main reason why they feel iffy to me is due to concern for the younger person's well being. But you are right, they are both adults and other people's relationships are not my business.

      I don't think she was talking specifically about his girlfriend, but rather about the culture of pedophilia that many men practice (I suggest researching). I'll use your example, an 18 year old girl is not automatically an adult because she turned 18. Psychology and sociology do not address this form, because they do not have the emotional maturity and life experience to make the right decisions. And I'm saying it because we live in world where 30 year old guys get 18 year old girls pregnant. What do these guys want with someone who just got out of school, probably never worked and has no autonomy? So this type of conversation is super important. But can you imagine a 30 y woman having a child with a 18 y boy?

      @am-lo1pz Před 2 měsíci

      Eh, I don't know that they do. Michael chose his words very carefully, and later on he also said he cries every day?? There's a lot of history with their relationship if you look into it. Short version is they were super casual and Michael was on record as not wanting more kids. Then
      she got pregnant. He did some press at the time basically saying he wanted to be an involved father and they were going to try to make it work.
      They've now got two children and having a second child with someone you don't really love is a very odd choice, so it's very possible their relationship is genuine and they're very happy together. Or it's possible they figured they were in it now so why not. He's never really said anything in public about how he loves her, which is different to the way he's talked about previous partners. And a lot of her social media is making "jokes" about how she thinks he looks fat or she hates his beard or other critical things about his appearance constantly.
      All that being said, as much as I love him I don't have sympathy for him in this if he is unhappy. He's a grown adult who chose to do something that led to him knocking up a 23 year old and actions have consequences. Both of them have made the decision to be in this relationship together and if they really are unhappy, he gave a response that was honest while also very much respecting Anna and their relationship by not saying anything remotely negative and talking about how much his children mean to him. It was a beautiful answer.

To waste everyone's time with this irrelevant and intrusive question is shameful.
