That Cut essay was bananas. B-A-N-A-N-A-S. I have two daughters who are under 5 and I chant 'A man is not a plan' into their little ears as they sleep.

They're being raised by a happy monogamous cis het couple (their father and myself). I have to give the poor things a chance. At least we aren't married.

“I had high breasts, most of my eggs, plausible deniability when it came to purity, a flush ponytail, a pep in my step that had yet to run out' Why did I try and read/rap this like it was a line from Hamilton, I can't read 'plausible deniability' without breaking out into song (/rap)

That Cut essay was one that I sent to my friends, both at college, and those who are in their late 20's and early 30's and they were very split on it. Some felt they were just reading a journal page from some 17 year old's diary, while others felt that they saw reflections of friends who ARE in age gap relationships (some of them good, some of them bad). But I think that one thing we can take from this article is that well, good writing (whether we think it is ACTUALLY good or not), gets people talking
