So glad this meme is muted so I didn't have to hear that in addition to reading it.

    Here's the original

    A 3 panel comic from Women's Empowerment in which the background of each panel is a light blue. In the top panel a woman with medium red and black hair wearing a purple-ish top with a collar with buttons on it and is slightly open and tied around her waist, as well as blue jeans is talking to a guy who is wearing a white baseball cap under which is short black hair, and leading down from that is sideburns and a well trimmed moustache and general beard. He is wearing a grey-blue hoodie with square patterns on it and underneath it a plain white shirt, over the hood he is also wearing a small side bag from his right shoulder down to just under his chest on the left side of his body under his arm. The guy is saying "Girls mature faster, so..." and the woman replies "They should be given more positions of power and authority?" Then in the next panel the guy replies "No..." and so the woman replies "Boys should be taught to look to them for guidance and leadership?" and in the final panel the guy replies "No, but that's why older men are attracted to them!" to which the woman replies "Oh my god..." Starting on the woman in the last panel there is a person's social media handle: @Lainey.Molnar

    Why do humans mature so slowly anyways? Compared to nearly every other animal, it's crazy slow!

    Because we're smart as fuck by comparison. Like have you ever seen even a fully grown deer playing Minecraft? A 5 year old can human can play Minecraft. Don't see no horses doing potential differential equations, heck even a pretty immature human can be taught integration. You should see fish trying to assemble iPhones, they absolutely shite at it.

    We're social animals with big brains. Other great apes, elephants, whales, even some birds like parrots and corvids mature slower.

    We rely less on our instincts and more on what we learn from the previous generations, and that takes time.

    Because we're K strategists in the extreme¹. The evolutionary strategy is to adapt and make the best of every offspring by making humans individually adaptive and adapted. That requires a lot of experience and input that doesnt come from a uterus, and that takes time; input bandwidth is limited and it needs to be contextualized, organized.

    ¹excepting Christians and those culturally influenced by them, who go pretty hard R with it.

    I'd like to point out every douche-bag on the right of this comic once was a little boy with a mother.

    Turns out you can be a misogynist irrespective of gender.

    But, in my experience, boys like this tended to have abusive fathers. When you get to watch (and eventually participate in) the verbal and physical abuse of women, it sticks with you even as you run into new women who aren't so quick to submit.

    But in my bullshit view experience all those women tended to be adults and could have chosen to leave or even ({"stopped"}) an abusive husband. Or at least not procreated with a piece of shit who also was raised in the youngest most formative years by a mother.

    Without the federal government, almost no money exists to fight domestic violence

    no other private or public organization has financed anti-domestic violence work as broadly or as deeply as the U.S. government. Without federal funds, the work being done to prevent intimate partner violence, feed families in shelters fleeing abuse or help survivors file for legal protection would not exist on the scale it does today.

    The disruption the Trump administration has wrought on this critical public safety and public health infrastructure is unprecedented, threatening a framework built over a half-century. Teams responsible for violence prevention have been decimated, and a reorganization of the Department of Health and Human Services has eliminated divisions wholesale. The president’s proposed budget, as well as the Republicans’ appropriations bill, suggests defunding many of the programs that remain.

    This is already an underfunded and neglected corner of the federal bureaucracy. It's been eroded over multiple administrations, via budget cuts and manpower shrinkage. Telling women "if you don't like your partner, just be homeless" is functionally participating in the abuse.

    Sucks when someone brings a mirror to your face and you are forced to gaze at the manufacturer of 90 percent of your problems. They hated him for telling the truth.

    To address your second point: people change. And often times, unresolved issues that started small can get bigger.

    And by older you mean like a few years rather than 4 times the age right? .... right?

    The guy in the picture is gross, but he almost has a point. Its not unusual to see a guy dating someone thats around 5 years younger than them, and its my speculation that that is because theyre mentally in the same space.

    Though the lady has a bunch of valid points, if you have a specific age requirement and the job is largely measured in maturity, your best bet is going to be a woman. Theres also a weird duality here, where the most educated women i know are some of the best speakers and presenters i know. It leads me to believe that women are just better at presenting ideas. But also, the worst speakers and presenters i know are also women, but theyre older. Makes me think that women, despite being more naturally inclined to effective communicaiton, used to have that hampered, presumably due to lack of education due to patriarchy.

    Basically, hell yeah women should largely be in charge under a political meritocracy at a given age. Dating women in a different mental stage than you, particularly younger, is gross.

    The guy in the picture is absolutely not enamored with the emotional maturity of younger women. In fact, rather the opposite - he wants a woman so young that she doesn't have the experience and context to recognize him as a predator and a parasite.

    I can agree with mental age and a difference of 5 years, provided both are out of school. A 20 year old with a 15 year old is dodgy af though.

    But also, and this is based on real life shit that I've seen said on the cesspool that is mainstream social media, this guy is definitely talking about being 30+ years old and preying on women fresh out of school or grooming on social media even before that.

    The more maga manosphere religious conservative they are, the more open and honest they are about this shit.
