The middle-aged woman is the ground bed of the audience that watches television, and yet they are absolutely invisible.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Women become invisible as they age; men become impotent.
Old women especially are invisible. I have been to parties where no one knows who I am, so I am ignored until I introduce myself to someone picked at random. Immediately, word gets round, and I am surrounded by people who tell me they are my biggest fans.
I like to describe myself as a proudly visible member of the most invisible segments of our society - older women.
Television is a real woman's medium... but what's disturbing is, still even in television, women have so little to do with what's going on behind the scenes.
There's room for a diversity of ages on television.
TV viewing is normally a passive, mindless occupation.
Sometimes, occasionally, people will make out in the audience, completely not aware that there's a human being onstage just yards away from them, who can see them. Sometimes people think that you're on television while you're onstage, so you're not even a person.
Being invisible would be pretty great. You could watch everybody, sneak into places and know what people were saying.
There are so few representations of women that look remotely real in scripted television.
Wonder Woman is lame. She flies around in an invisible jet, but she's not invisible. I don't get it.
