This usually means he needs to do his dirty work in secret because the world would condemn him and no one has to see him fail. Plus, it relates to blindness of a man who cannot see that he is being enslaving/repressive. I often talk about the veracity of desire vs. the right of a woman not to be bothered. While his natural attraction is valid, in the sense, sure an older man is going to be attracted to a cute, young thing, but that “truth” does not supersede the truth of its inappropriateness. That our society pays to engage in inappropriate behavior and men usually make more money than women, men get away with it. Inappropriateness is commodified and the capacity to engage is based on financial prowess not whether or not it is wrong.
