Whaaaaatever, PC sheeple squad.
Can you people ever not answer with option 1, 2, or 3? (Geeze, like robots, these types) The go-to reply is always the same: "Would you say that about BLANK". Or, "How come you have no problem with a man marrying a women much younger?". Blah blah blah.
Oh these naughty, bad people, with their vile double-standards, hating this fine women just because her husband is half her age. Oh the hypocrisy! Oh the humanity!
The fact is, it bothers people. Lots of people. And not for the typical auto-pilot, after-school-special, 'things grandma used to say', 'I'm ok/you're ok' reasons that the lemmings do so adore. They find these supposedly dreadful people to be selfish, shallow, narcissistic, unhappy, and superficial for thinking such a thing about this old and inept director. Keep telling yourselves that. After all, its what you've been programmed to say in such situations. And if there is one thing which the sleepwalkers adhere to above and beyond anything else, it is their programming. It defines them. Wholly.
(These kind and caring "good" people are never selfish, shallow, narcissistic, and superficial, right? Or, more likely, they are equally selfish, shallow, narcissistic, and superficial, but when it comes to topics of PC importance, they agree with the rest of the herd, thereby eradicating all of those negative character traits, essentially. Brilliant! Now THAT, is some real hypocrisy! And not the garden-variety flavor either, but the new and improved "Extreme Nacho Cheese Implosion" flavor. It's bold, sassy, and delicious!!!! GTFO noobs.)
No, I think it is far more interesting and primal than that. I think it is instinctual. At least, my anti-programming anti-conformity filter enjoys assuming such colorful things. I think some people react to marital situations like this one, without any premeditation. It just feels...wrong to them. (in that lower-brain sort of way)
Men have married younger (sometimes FAR younger) women since long before recorded history. It might not be right, but it's the way the world has always been. After all, what is "right"? And in this case, it might actually be proposed that those people who find it distasteful, are simply being more honest than the rest...who usually first digest a situation, quickly calculate the culturally acceptable response, and only then comment. In the safest way, of course.
In this specific case of older-woman/younger-man, our far older, manly/androgynous, horse-toothed no-talent director with the young handsome husband sure does get a lot of panties in a twist, doesn't she? But what does it really say about the two very different types of people on opposing sides of this fence? Ask yourself this. Do it! DO IT NOW, PIGGIES! And then, write a lengthy essay about it. Send it to your local councilman. At least 5,000 words, BY MONDAY!
In conclusion, my dearest lovely swine, perhaps we should embrace our inner cave men, instead of lining up to loudly exclaim how dreadful it is that people wouldn't automatically accept and adore any given situation. Ponder this, sing a few lines of Kumbaya My Lord, and then reflect upon what monumentally good people you are, and how the rest are foul vermin, put on this earth for no reason other than making you angry.
You --- Good
Those who agree with you --- Good.
Others --- BAD!!!
See how simple that is?
