By public shaming I mean going on social media to "cancel" him, with her friends piling on. I'm not worried about it anymore, since it appears to be something important to one slice of young Americans. It definitely was socially acceptable to most groups up until recently.

I can't speak to countries outside America. I'm sure there are a wide range of cultural norms across the globe. I recommended my son date women his own age and he agrees. He's thought about it and now sees he got older without updating his preferences for women. Now he realizes that a 22 year old woman is too young for him.
