This is example of how many commenters missed the point. I never said all older men are groomers. I shared my experiences of being targeted. And like I said many times in the comment section today, go ask any woman you know if she's ever been hit on by much older men. Almost every one of them will have a ton of stories like that. So ask men if they were hit by 30-40-year-old women when they were teens or in early 20s, especially those who look younger. You'll hear almost no stories.

One of the women in this section described being groomed into a relationship with an older man when she was 19, which turned into domestic abuse for her. Do you know how many examples like that I've heard? And then think of how many men end up in similar situations - almost zero.

This isn't an attack piece on men. A bunch of great guys commented here saying they agree that targeting younger women is not okay. This is me sharing my life experiences of being a victim of such behaviour, and also saying I find this to be an issue in our society.
