[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The constant need to look young and spend tons of money to achieve it. All these treatments are thousands. Hair extensions, Botox, IPL, dermaplaning, bayalage, etc.  [/quote]

Yes but this is linked to the overall cultural attitude that women have no value after 40. Women work hard to look young because looking middle aged or, god forbid, old is a form of social death. Literally people will stop caring what you think or say once you are considered an old woman. So yes, people who can afford it do all the procedures and face pressure from peers to "keep up" with the procedures THEY are doing because otherwise it's social death. You're alive, but irrelevant.

That's the fight. Being a relevant person as a woman over 40. It's very hard. You are fighting against hundreds of years of belief that gets reinforced by men of all ages, the media, even women. Watch how women pick each other apart. The meanest things you can say about a woman are "she looks fat" and "she looks old." Saying a woman is fat and old is like a nail in a coffin. And we're all fighting against this, and hormones and gravity and life are working to makes us look fatter and older. [/quote]
