Young women do and say things because they can, certain men get away with certain things because they can.
Others complain, because they can’t.
Having younger partner is status symbol for a men to show off to other men. It does not make him look like good potential partner to adult women tho.

Reading between the lines, I think many women would want to date Leo, but he dates younger girls.
> a general red flag for "that dude is looking to take advantage of you"
Flags fly both directions: Young people take advantage of an older person in dating (see sugar babies, mail order brides, or a model taking advantage of Leo's $300m lifestyle).
I’m pretty someone who can and actively dates someone younger doesn’t care in slightest about opinion of people who are not in his priority bucket.
Women think of men already having a partner as an indication of him being reliable, which is a positive.
You find it in the "he's a predator" comments. It's the same dynamic as rejected men calling women a lesbian: dealing with rejection by projecting their negative emotions onto the other person. "Good! I didn't want him/her anyway! Who would ever want someone like that?"
