MILF on Slate vom alert: cover your keyboard

Ball of hate today, and Slate's "Interviews $.50" isn't helping. In the latest installment, the fabulous Alex Chadwick interviews a 40-something woman who hooked up with her much younger neighbor (a boy, Trevor) and is having trouble containing all her smugness into the 4 minute video. Seriously, keep a vom bag handy.

I am totally confused. Can someone help explain this narrative to me? At the beginning, it sounds like she screwed a 17-year-old (the "interlude" in question) and then somewhere around the 2 minute mark, Trevor is somehow five years older when it happens?

What I can't get past is the completely immature, cavalier attitude that this woman has toward the whole thing--not to mention bringing up her neighbors, Trevor's parents, by name! (Bambi and John, SRSLY.) I suppose it's no wonder she slept with the guy, considering she appears to have the emotional maturity of a girl who got her period yesterday. Am I being sexist for not cheering on this woman's empowered Hefner-style conquest?

OMG what an annoying...

I'm with you, treating sex as some sort of conquest is insulting, no matter what the genders are.
