Historiann: “The great life-long mistake”: young marriage in the United States.
Age asymmetry in marriage is by no means a thing of the past and in its more extreme form it remains a way for older, wealthier, and more experienced men to maintain dominance within their marriages.
I was just mentioning on another channel that from my viewpoint, I look at fashion mags now and think "could be my daughter", "could be my daughter." I wonder what these old dudes find to talk about with their young paramours.
