because a relationship between a teenager and someone in their 30s is seen as 'more likely than not to be exploitative'.
I'd like to see some research to back that claim that over 50% relationships with significant age gap are exploitative.
These two statements are not identical.
So what exactly more likely than not means? I'm not native English speaker.
Or are you referring to the difference "significant age gap" vs "30 year old and teenager"?
If so I conceed. Those kinds of relationships are so incredibly rare among all relationships that I have no idea about the statistics there.
That's not the important difference in those statements. The difference is "someone in their 30s dating a teenager" versus "a big age gap generally."
