Things like this have started to convince me that “progressives” see pretty much all relationships as one of predator/prey:

If you examine all the “any age gap is evil” and “dating outside your race is racism” and such in that light, it starts to make more sense — and this predator/prey belief also matches up perfectly with the neoliberalistic mindset. Contextualized this way, applying as a lens this assumed adversarial nature of relationships, and the boring contract negotiation aspect that progressives seem to adore, it all begins to resolve into some sort of legible but fucked-up ideology.

When you apply this ideology, that every relationships is by nature adversarial, predator/prey, a contest to get the best de facto contract, the panic over someone not being exactly like someone else makes a whole lot more sense.

Progressive “morals” are some wacky bullshit.
