Demonising the Age Gap

The left's latest tactic is to declare a man a pedophile for courting a younger woman.

There’s an old method of calculating the ideal age of a romantic partner for a man. Take your current age, divide it in half, and add seven. For example, for a 30 year old man the ideal age for a romantic partner is 22. In the not so distant past, a decent age gap between a man and a woman was seen as being completely normal. In order to support a family, a man needed the financial resources to be able to meet his responsibilities. In many societies a dowry was required to pay the family of the bride. The upshot was that men had to make their mark before getting married and producing heirs. And in so doing they inevitably became a man in the process.

Men are attracted to youth, beauty and fertility. Women are attracted to men with resources and power. This is obviously a gross generalisation, but the premise holds true across different societies and cultures. A common delusion among modern women is that men are attracted to the same things that attract them; witness the myriad examples of women thinking that their university degrees will make them desirable.

Of late I have noticed a concerted and organised effort by the left to demonise age gaps in romantic relationships, and specifically when the man is older than the woman. They have gone so far as to declare that a 30 year old man courting an 18 year old woman is nothing short of being a pedophile. Which seems a bit rich from the same people who push all kinds of sexual degeneracy and outright satanism, including on young children. But if there is one thing consistent about the left it is their fanatic commitment to inconsistency.

Our Lady declared that the greatest battle would be waged by the devil against the family unit, and this is the latest skirmish in that long and bitter war. The left will do anything in its power to make it difficult for men and women to form romantic relationships, and most specifically white men and women. Other races where there is a noticeable age gap between husband and wife will be given a free pass under the banner of respecting their cultural norms.

It is very confusing for people having to navigate the social stigmas surrounding courtship which are propagated by the left. But it is enough to return to simple times and clarity of purpose in order to discern the correct path. Find the man or woman that is right for you, marry them before God and be bound by His marital covenant, and then have as many babies as He desires for you. Build a home together, and educate your children in order that they will love God and carry that gift into adulthood. This is what the left hates above all things. If all of us who are called by God to marry and raise families would do that then we would triumph in but a couple of generations.
