What The Bill Belichick Interview Tells Us
Even older men aren’t calling the shots in their relationships
Just when you thought the Belichick/Hudson romance couldn’t get any cringier. The future Hall of Fame football coach’s CBS Sunday Morning interview — much like Tom Brady being selected 199th overall in the 2000 NFL draft — surpassed all expectations.
I wrote an article in February (below) about the false narrative that older men get into relationships with younger women simply because they are “easily manipulated,” and, of course, got the predictable backlash.
Oddly, none of this backlash came from young women, who, I’m guessing, don’t like to be thought of as too ignorant or immature to make an adult decision about who they choose to be with.
I’m still unsure what age they should reach (in the eyes of some backlashers) to achieve this age of wisdom. 25? 30? 35?
At what age does an adult woman get to make her own adult decisions?
Feel free to comment with an actual number, not just random vitriol.
