[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's the ever increasing obsession with vanity and search for that fountain of youth in this country.  An aging woman has become almost demonized.  And this is more a demonization by women against women in this country.

Older women in some other countries (please note I said some) don't grapple *as much* with this as women here.  Yes, all women may mourn their youth for a bit, but here it's taken to the next level.  Forget mourning, do everything possible to fight the inevitable.  The 'stages of life' are more normalized and accepted in most other countries.  Here they are not.

Older white women in this country succumb to this more easily but I'm not sure why this is moreso than with other non-white women in this country who feel the same level of this push for youth. Perhaps, the communities they belong to or the friends they surround themselves with have a different group mentality than the average white woman.

It's not that non-white women are not interested in being healthy and slim, but it's usually not to the degree that white women aspire to.  Toned but soft is usually their goal, but here that is looked down upon as weak ( or as white women like to say- skinny fat ).

It seems here, an older white woman is ignored, often times tossed aside by her husband for a younger woman.  In some cultures around the world, the older women are looked at as sources of wisdom or inner strength and the tie that binds the community.

I think white women are more upset if their husband cheats, more likely to divorce him.  In most of the rest of the world, the wife kind of expects the husband to cheat.  As long as he is a good father and leaves her access to his earnings, she shrugs.  So, since she doesn't care if he cheats, she doesn't need to do everything possible to please him.[/quote]
