A theoretical framework that applies critical theory's tools to understanding legal systems—not just how laws function but how they produce and legitimize power, inequality, and oppression. Critical legal theory examines how law, presented as neutral and just, actually serves dominant interests, how legal reasoning masks political choices, how rights discourse can both liberate and constrain. It draws on Critical Legal Studies, feminist jurisprudence, critical race theory, and related traditions to understand law as a site of struggle—not just rules to be applied but power to be contested. Critical legal theory asks not just "what does the law say?" but "whose interests does it serve, and how could it be otherwise?"
Example: "His analysis showed how 'neutral' contract law systematically advantages corporations over workers—Critical Legal Theory, revealing the politics hidden in apparently technical legal doctrine."

If she is dating a man her own age, she's an adult. If the man is 30+, she is a child and he is a pedophile despite the woman being of legal age. Does not apply to lesbian relationships.
This practice is usually invoked by 30+ women who used to date older men when they were young, but resent those same men for overlooking them now that they are no longer 18-29.
