ageism

'Your reviewer tells readers that Erda, the earth goddess, was made up to look 'quite a fright'. This is not so. I wore no make-up – the 'fright' look is all naturally mine.'

I love her...she may be elderly, but probably quicker, nicer and smarter than the twit that wrote the original review.

I can honestly say, the only time my age has been used in a derogatory manner, and by women as well as men, is on forums.

In real life, it's never happened. Maybe if I was working in an environment where youth ruled it would have....I know some women have to fight ageism all their lives in the workplace.

First when they are child bearing age, then when that's past, they are too old.

Syl · FIRM BUT FAIR.

I love women...(and I am one of them) who don't give a toss about their age. Self worth should come with age, unfortunately, in today's society, so many women are made to feel lesser because they have lived longer.
I don't think it happens to men.

We all age, beauty changes. One of the most beautiful women of all time is Claudia Cardinale, she was perfect imo.
She has obviously aged, but she always looks so happy.
Now there is a woman who appears to have accepted growing old with grace and dignity....and that has a beauty of it's own.

Any chance of us seeing how you scrub up, Syl? Whilst we‘re on the subject, that is.

Definitely women are other women‘s worst critics.

I remember the abuse you got on here for that Bon Marché dress from other women. Eye opening !

Most people on this set of forums, and you are one of them, know exactly what I look like.

How about you?

And the worst comments came from the men. Usually the really ugly bald ones who were on the other side of 40 themselves.

No idea what you look like, Syl. All I know is you are partial to a leather jacket. A pic could soon set us all straight.

Bald, out of shape, and if they are lucky enough to have a woman, usually henpecked too.

Boaby the soldier?

He chatted up every woman of forums I believe. I told him to give over, I had tights older than him.

No Boaby here - just a very big mate of Budgie’s!

p.s. he might even consider coming back if you are nice about it!

Sadly, the opening to this forum is way too narrow for his fat gut.

The only thing I can’t abide is mutton dressed as lamb, it’s tacky and desperat.
