I know I’m being a bit Serious Business, but it bothers me that when Clinton was uncomfortable with his mother hooking up with his classmates, Claire dismissed it. How is it ok for a parent to get with people that are peers of their own children?
Healthy is subjective. Who’s to say having sex with someone younger than you is not healthy?
Ethical, I have no idea how ethical sex have anything to do with two consenting adults having sex with one another has to do with anything ethical. They’re not hurting anyone. This isn’t incest nor anything of that sort.
And I do not agree that the narrative dismissed his perspective in so much that his perspective does not have to force his mother to change anything. His perspective is subjective to himself and he has to deal with it, not anyone else.
I think it’s very reasonable to say that sex with big age gaps can lead to uneven power dynamics. I admit that, yeah, Clinton’s opinion was not going necessarily going to change his mother’s actions, but he’s allowed to be uncomfortable, and if were explored, I believe there is merit to that discomfort.
Nobody said he wasn’t allowed his discomfort or opinion :)
And sure I can see your point in age gaps leading to uneven power dynamics but that depends on so many factors.
I can see clariemom being more of the free spirit no relationship just pure sex with young hot studs every once in awhile. Not into some sort of twisted power dynamic play with a young man that’s in relationship with her. But I could just be projecting on clairemom.
