It is a never ending source of disgust for me how people are very quickly judging people by age. Of all the hate based -isms, ageism is just as ugly.
But combating the presumption and the blind hatred requires much more than just words. Actual proof is required even though I think logic should really be quite enough.
On another forum I had a long, long list of age disparate relationships to show that they can and do work and that they are right under our noses and always have been. Well, the list keeps growing and a need a new place to continue, so here it is.
Feel free to add to the list. And never mind if the state of the relationship. I don't. I am not trying to say that age disparate relationships are all peachy. They aren't. But it makes no more sense to be all down on age disparate relationships because some fall apart or are abusive. ANY relationship can be abusive and fall apart! Its not like same age relationships never end, is it?
