[quote=Anonymous]I don't really feel that it has anything to do with looks, it's just a general lack of acknowledgement or respect for women over about 50 or so. I don't know why, but it just seems built into our society somehow that it is okay to laugh at or be dismissive of older women both in popular culture and media and in everyday life. I read posts on this board all the time that display this attitude toward women over 50: it is interesting to read the things people say here that they don't say out loud in real life. It's really given me an insight into what people are really thinking. You could look great, but if you are a woman over 50, many people either don't think about you at all or they assume you are some laughable stereotype. [/quote]
