Over at The F Word podcast, they had Hugo Schwyzer on to talk about age differences in male-female relationships. Hugo’s written extensively on the topic, and he talks with host Meghan Murphy about all the different questions these relationships raise, including:
Are men really meant to aspire towards Hugh Hefner? And what does it say about our culture when we assume men won’t be interested in women their own age? What does it say about the men who are only interested is very young women? What are the implications of these kinds of relationships? Is love ageless or is there something more to the story—specifically, how does gender and male power play into these so called ‘May-December’ relationships? Is it our responsibility to intervene into these potentially unhealthy or even dangerous relationships? Or is this kind of situation meant to remain squarely in the realm of the ‘private matter’?
