Yes and our obsession with youth in our culture and how we, women lie about their age after 35 obsessively and no one wants to let anyone know they're getting older, et cetera.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I mention my age because I find people in this country - women, not men, of course - women are so troubled by their age. There's a culture of youth, and it's a phony culture.
There are a lot of people out there who lie about their age and I think it does us all a disservice. It can't all be over when you hit 30. That would be rubbish.
Youth cannot know how age thinks and feels. But old men are guilty if they forget what it was to be young.
Stories about the ongoing dramas in our lives as we age are not being told because women find it difficult to be honest about what's going on - about, for example, our heightened sexuality as we age or about living in a society that only values youth.
I feel like women are asked their age more than men.
As you know, all women at all ages do not feel their ages anymore. The young girl feels older, and the older woman feels younger.
I'm really a strong advocate of ageing because the messages that the media and advertising give to women infuriate me: ie that it's a bad thing to get old.
It's not just about young people - there are films being made that deal with women getting older. That's a huge bonus, and here in America, that's a huge step forward.
Up until age 40, most men are just not as mature as women. So, it makes sense that a lot of women date up in age a bit.
Ageing is inevitable, and the idea that we can be eternally youthful is the pitfall of our society.
