When Young Men Disrespect Older Women

 I'm not sure if this is a rant,a wake-up call to mothers of young men, or a "Don't Get It Twisted" I'm nobody's Cougar" sort of post. What I do know is that I'm a full grown woman with adult children who have children  of their own and I don't appreciate how some young men today seem to think they can speak out of turn to women old enough to be their mothers with such blatant disrespect!

 

I'm angry that  how society view women of a certain age might  play some significant part in  how young men look at women these days. So, to set the record straight: I'm not looking for you "Milk Baby!" There's nothing a young man my son's age or younger can do for me.I don't run in those circles of women who refer to themselves as cougars, veterans and so forth & when you approach me with preconceived notions that I'll like you to "holla" at me? You are sadly mistaken...most of all, you're just sad.

 

I'm considering how to handle the recent encounter by such a young man.It wasn't enough that he got a swift tongue lashing and reminded that I'm not the one! I think, maybe, I'll introduce myself to his mama, girlfiend and, or, alll  of the female company he keeps and maybe he'll get my drift. Don't play with me, I'm not flattered...

 

Mothers, fathers, how are we raising our sons? I'm so proud  that my son was raised to respect his elders, not harass, disrespect and violate them with nasty ,suggestive rethoric. My daughter, ever the lioness for her mom, asked if I wanted/needed her to come out. I said I didn't. I'm not concerned for my safety as much as I am for the downward spiral of our young men.

 

Women shouldn't perpetuate this behavior either, by looking for romantic liaisons with these younger men who think that women of a certain age are easy prey. Women, what are your thoughts on the subject of young men who disrespect older women.?
