Such a double standard we have. Harrison Ford or Michael Douglas hang out with their 20-something starlets, and everyone is like, 'Dude! Way to go! Score!' Meanwhile, my mom (59) dates a 26 year old and she gets evil looks and whispers of cradle-robbing.

She's 59. Not dead. Just because the people whispering about her have withered up and dried out sexually doesn't mean everyone has.
