>Trying to educate her? Bradley Cooper, 38, reads Lolita to Suki Waterhouse, 21, as she sprawls across him in Parisian park

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2403281/Bradley-Cooper-38-reads-Lolita-Suki-Waterhouse-21-sprawls-Parisian-park.html

The feminists on my facebook are going crazy because of this guy reading Lolita to his girlfriend. Somehow I'm thinking it would be different if that were Ryan Gosling or James Franco.

"I always think less of men (because it is usually men) that date such younger women. You have to ask yourself why a 38 year old finds a young women barely out of her teenage years so much more appealing than someone more their own age. They look like father and daughter and as for the reading material....creepy!

Lol. Is this guy retarded?

She probably has daddy issues or something and they're indulging in some fantasy. Wouldn't surprise me if she goes around calling him daddy. Pretty creepy though. Pretty weird choice of book.

i wish there was a way to call feminists that have a strong theoretical framework and one for those suburban bandwagoners that just slap the term unto themselves like they do it with terms related to their "fandoms" and things like that.
philosophers have that, analytic for those who are actually working and continental for the hacks.
