She/Her, Bi, trying to be pragmatic.

@DonneJon @DeirdreBoleyn @thomasknox One, if I am 28 can realistically meet a guy who is 36 at a rock climbing or dance class for our hobbies and we are at similar stages of life. If you are in your 30’s, would love to know how you met that 18 year old.

[Briana Zamitalo @Zamitera21]

@DonneJon @DeirdreBoleyn @thomasknox If he’s 38 and she’s 21, yeah that’s sort of odd but again, nothing literally anybody can do about it if both are consenting and it also is a bit different than dating a 16-18 year old. You will not find most women getting denouncing, say, a guy who is 36 dating a 28 year old.

@taylorburrowes I am 28, have had fwbs and a couple failed relationships with mostly older men. Growing up was difficult and over the years I compartmentalized all of it. I can choose to be angry, and I am, but at a certain point it’s on ME to want better for myself by seeking help in navigating

[Briana Zamitalo @Zamitera21]

@DeirdreBoleyn @thomasknox Not just this, but for the women now in our 30s and 40s to let warn younger girls when they are 16-18 because we too were those younger girls who were attracted to older men.

@MaxVorce @MartinPerring @AyoCaesar When did Ash say the concept of a big age gap in of itself was always wrong? There is legality but also the recognition there is a MASSIVE difference between a 35 and a 18 year old having sex/in a relationship versus a 35 and 26 year old having sex/in a relationship.

@hayleswells @shida47520 We all need therapy, but she clearly needs it being 36 and having clearly compartmentalised a lot. My favourite was when she mentioned how much she disliked Hannah Hampton and brought up that apropos of nothing hypothetical of Hannah being hugged and kissed. MASSIVE hate crush.

@GraySterIII Bill Coen did great things for Northeastern basketball, but the past three years show how deeply unserious the program has gotten. To any Northeastern fans here, I feel for you.

[Briana Zamitalo @Zamitera21]

@LeftBrexit @The_Ouroboros__ I’m going to stop you right there because we women aren’t stupid, but are you? Yes, we know there is a difference between a 32 year old and a 18 year old vs. a 32 year old with a 25 year old.

[Briana Zamitalo @Zamitera21]

@SolidSnake45139 @The_Ouroboros__ I say this as someone who thinks discussions around bigger age gaps become way more nuanced when the younger partner is past a certain age btw. There is a MASSIVE difference between a 35 year old and a 18 year old and a 45 year old and a 30 year old.

[Briana Zamitalo @Zamitera21]

@SolidSnake45139 @The_Ouroboros__ Legality does not always equal morality. Even if we couldn’t do anything about a 35 year old sleeping with or in a relationship with an 18 year old, tell me how someone who is paying a mortgage can relate to someone with £120 in their bank account and worried about their exams?

[Briana Zamitalo @Zamitera21]

No you fucking weird men. The lesson to NOT take away from the Russell Brand story is “oh, but there are definitely cases in which I can see a 35 year old and a 18 year old having a genuine romantic connection.”

[Briana Zamitalo @Zamitera21]

@Etanarachel There does need to be deeper discussions that even if we accept an 18 year old can have sex with abe in a romantic relationship with, say, a 35 year old. It should be akin to some sort of social shaming. I dunno man how did you a 35 year old man MEET this 18 year old girl?

[Briana Zamitalo @Zamitera21]

@arsenalluke84 @AyoCaesar I guess also the big question is why are men who are 35 trying to hang out with 16-18 year olds girls in Sixth Form? How can you relate at all? Not saying you aren’t allowed to be around each other but these are not peers.

[Briana Zamitalo @Zamitera21]

@LeftieStats Source? Gonna call you out yet again for dishonest framing because the reality is they were stuck in traffic. If they were there, impeachment would have happened. There will be a second vote.

[Briana Zamitalo @Zamitera21]

@AyoCaesar @QueerRageNow @Seanchuckle That’s right and on its own an adult in their early to mid 30s who is attracted to and seeks a sexual or romantic relationship with a 16 year old boy or girl in Sixth Form is in of itself an inherent abuse of trust.

[Briana Zamitalo @Zamitera21]

@uncanny_eli It’s even worse when FUCKING ACADEMICS scoff and laugh at you if you mention struggling financially and their answer is “You are being granted the greatest privilege of all, getting paid to do research and free education.”

[Briana Zamitalo @Zamitera21]

@AyoCaesar It’s genuinely incredible how people (read usually men) don’t immediately see the imbalance of power dynamics alone in these relationships. There’s nothing wrong with an age gap relationship on it’s own, but there’s a MASSIVE difference between 27 and 18 vs. 37 and 27

[Briana Zamitalo @Zamitera21]

Anyone notice that Lauren Boebert was doing the AOC fashion thing of showing up to bars/social venues dressed like any woman in their mid 30’s to early 40’s would in a tank top and jeans? Lauren, men are not slobbering over you sweetie.

@PostLeftWatch LOL the latest on the plight of Palestinians? Force the Vote! She’s so fucking insufferable and selfish:

[Briahna Joy Gray @briebriejoy]

BM: "[Palestinians] have always understood that they're in this for the long term. They understand there's not going to be a magic bullet. And, so, it's embarrassing to say this. But as a Jewish person, Palestinians have often calmed me down. Because they're like: Listen, this is not going to be over tomorrow. And so, we have to just keep fighting."

BG: "I hear you saying that -- I'm about to be so controversial -- I hear you saying that, but also there was this thing called the Al-Aqsa Flood, & there was a moment where there was about to be political normalization of the status quo, & some people decided that it was time for some kind of break -- some kind of escalation. Some kind of acceleration..."

BM: "So what's the Al-Asqua flood for the lame duck?"

BG: "No one wants to hear me say this, but the plan was the Force the Vote Plan."

[Briana Zamitalo @Zamitera21]

The “grifters.” Yeah man, the person working at the DeSoto County public library making $28k/year is taking away from all the other hard working people making 90k/year being a manager of a call center for a health insurance startup.

[James Chester @JamesCh67471584]

@TBBJnewsroom Outstanding. The grifters are finally held responsible. I bet salary reductions or zero pet projects aren't part of their equation. 51 counties are responsible adults.
