"Anytime you read anything, there’s an implied moral lesson.
So, for example, a large portion of romance novels portray a couple where the man is angry and abusive, and the woman does everything in her power to cater to that anger and abuse. It’s light reading, sure. But does it okay? The author is choosing to portray that type of couple, with the ending lesson being that these two characters are “soulmates” and therefore belong together.
Does that mean you shouldn’t read romance novels? No, but you shouldn’t pretend that it’s okay for them to glorify that sort of relationship.
As for the “emotional age” business, I’ve heard plenty of 70-year-olds admit that they still feel about 16. Does that mean they should try to date teenagers?"
