As long she's 18 who the fuck cares.
Negi apparently.

I don't personally see an issue with someone 18+ dating an older partner. Fuck, I did when I was 18. As long as it's two consensual adults, it's fine. If she's old enough to legally qualify as an adult, she's old enough to choose sex partners. That's how the laws have been set. And critics speculating the age to become an adult needs to be raised is nothing new (typical recommendation is 21, seriously). However, if you haven't noticed it's still 18 to legally qualify as an adult in the US despite the controversy, because the majority of society and the courts decided that's old enough. Don't like it? Change the laws, but don't be surprised if most of society sees YOU as an extremist for trying to raise the age of adulthood beyond 18. Many have tried, many understandably got laughed at.

What I always find pathetic about the faux outrage surrounding these cases is the distinct double standard typically applied. If an older woman dates a younger man who's at least 18, not a peep of a criticism from media. If an older man dates a younger woman who's 18-19...out come the sexist prudes.

And that's exactly what it is: sexism.
