Well, that's true whether you're objectifying an older or a younger person. If you're just ogling them, it's impolite and perverted. It's like Stevie saying that movie stars just stared at her, like they were undressing her and she felt violated. She said that made her feel uncomfortable. She didn't think that rock stars were that forward.

Of course, I do think it's even worse when there is a large age difference between the pervert and his or her prey. It reminds me of the Seinfeld when George and Jerry lost the NBC job for staring at the executive's daughter. Jerry admonished him that 17-year old cleavage was off limits.
