I've read the article. It is a good study, whose gist can be
summarized as follows: males under the age of legal consent don't
necessarily mind, and often feel good about, getting laid by women
older than themselves (I say "getting laid" because that may be the
closest evocation of the phenomenon we're talking about). Females
under the age of legal consent are more likely to have mixed feelings
or negative feelings.
And that's controversial?
