There's a lot more to being a woman than being 18 years old on the cover of Maxim magazine.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
It's ridiculous to imagine you can stay young forever and live forever. It's taking away from young people. There's a beauty and respect in age. Magazines and media are disrespectful of age.
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.
I studied journalism at university, and I started a little bit of work on a woman's magazine called Minx that was aimed at 18- to 24-year-olds.
I feel like women are asked their age more than men.
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.
Although I've watched myself making the transition from being a girl to being a woman, I still feel 15 years old. My reflection disagrees.
It's absurd: half the movie audience are women, but Hollywood bosses are still aiming for men who are 20.
To be in a magazine when you're 20 is okay, but when you do it when you're 65, it's much more fun!
Just as young people absorb all kinds of messages from the media, young girls learn what it means to be a woman by watching the older women in their lives.
No woman should ever be quite accurate about her age. It looks so calculating.
