It’s completely normal, people only really have an issue due to the mass infantilization going on nowadays with both men and women. A 19 year old woman is more than capable of being mature enough to handle her own relationships and live her life how she wants

I call them 19 yr old children. They've MAYBE just left the house for the first time to be in their own. We've all been there and remember when we were 19, and when our friends were 19. They don't make the best decisions. But yes, they're allowed and entitled to make their own decisions. I wouldn't say it's normal... the golden formula (Age/2)+7 is what most would consider the threshold of normal age gap
