But when the roles are reversed, everyone's up in arms.

Edited to add - What Maggie said! Everyone's legal & men do this all the time.
It's certainly portrayed that way. However, at least in my social circle, men who go after significantly younger women are considered weird, as in there's something wrong with them. Particularly because these younger women almost always are of the stripper stereotype.

They're certainly not ostracized, but no one wants to be friends with them.
