What an inspiring article! I was recently talking with a friend and her husband about how women ‘disappear’ when they hit 50 and he was clueless about that experience. He is not an insensitive man, nor is he sexist, so we were surprised he didn’t know women’s perspective on aging. Your article explains why – it is true, as a 70 year old white retired professional man (I would also add not disabled, does not speak with a foreign accent, nor is openly gay), he has no experience of discrimination. It is our job as women is to recognize that and bring awareness, as you surmise as well. Good job, Jacynth!

Even other women can be ageist and do the pychic rape thing from the toes to the head when one is well turned out urgh In the 70s we called it the zipless F…k
So right, Jacynth — thanks for this bold and perceptive post. We need consciousness-raising groups for women of ages, so we can come together and support each other instead of competing to “stay young”, which reinforces ageism, sexism, and patriarchy. Here’s a free guide to starting one:
