Four Years Apart - Ch. 36

[practicallyuseful]

I've never heard of that " mandatory military training" and I can imagine how it would be stressful, but at the same time very beneficial. Though restricting it to only men is kinda........

@DreyDrey You might want to double check your information. A woman's fertility starts to reduce in early 30s and even more so after the age of 35. A woman is born with all the eggs that they will ever have and the later they have children the more likely they are to have birth defects according to past research. Of course, a male's fertility also declines and can affect pregnancy, but at a different rate. Also your reasoning of men maturing faster than women doesn't make sense because if men matured after then women then younger men would be with older women? If anything some of the reasons women mature faster than men are due to the hardships that they come up against vs their male peers due to the way males are perceived as more valuable and capable than women despite putting in equal or more effort.

@yaleke I was referring solely to sexual function but once I interchangeably with reproductive health. My bad, I corrected it. But your arguments are pretty sexist. Men reproductively do not age slower than women. It’s the same over 35 both come with risks. Except, you can test for Down Syndrome, but you can’t test for neurobiological issues associated with older fathers. Either way both age reproductively at about the same rate.

That being said sexual function is a different story. Women peak at 40 while about 50% of men over 40 have ED. So it’s probably also high by 35 for men and I personally cannot logic that they will have healthy sperm either. So to me a younger male spouse makes more sense than the more common older male spouse. Especially, since in this case he’s also the better guy and whole heartedly loves the MC.

What your saying about women maturing faster than men has no basis and it bothers me because it’s the argument that has been used for child brides or to justify lower consent ages for female and higher consent ages for males around the world. The only thing I can reason is that women mature faster psychologically because society is not willing to protect them but is always ready to unilaterally point the finger at them for reproductive deficiencies.

Btw apologies to everyone for the long post and rant.

@DreyDrey Not to use the, I'm a woman card, but I'm a woman who works in an industry where female voices are looked down upon and I have to fight against that all the time. Wasn't trying to be sexist and I don't think I was. Really do not appreciate how you're twisting my comments when I was trying to be polite? Tbh I don't think anything I said was very sexist sorry to make you rant, but glad you took some time to fix and research your argument more. Literally was just pointing out the things from your comment that contradicted things I learned in AP Bio like half a decade ago so sorry if it wasn't to the detailed degree that you were expecting on a manga website lol I'm not getting graded on this.

Anyways, I wasn't saying that as a way to justify or say that it's the right thing that younger women are with older men at all in relation to child brides (no where in my comment did I say that at all? Like excuse me? But ???). I was simply stating that it a possible that women may mature faster (I also meant psychologically? Not physically in case that wasn't obvious) than men because of the hardships society puts them up against because of how women are looked down upon and treated as lesser than which is the same thing that you just said? So aren't we in agreement? Your prior post seemed to say that this wasn't true, but if I misconstrued your comment than sorry about that.

In relation to the webtoon, I don't think the ages matter that much in respect to their bodies since a 4 year difference isn't much so personally I don't care about that. Life experiences-wise there is a bit of a gap, but as they grow older it'll become less apparent then currently (speaking from personal experience and from friends). I just want MC to be happy in her relationship. I'm also rooting for her childhood friend because I think their relationship is p cute. I'm sure the sunbae is a nice guy, but *shrugs*

Anyways, happy reading and have a good day. Hope this didn't inflame you more or something. Won't reply further since I don't have time for a stranger on the internet ranting at me for no reason.
