[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When is this show going to be more realistic and talk about gaining weight, tired, lonely, and having to start wearing depends?   [/quote]

[quote]You know, I think that's the focus many people see with aging, and I *really* think it's the revenge fantasy some men with deep misogynistic issues use to soothe themselves. It's just not the experience of many women, especially not those who remain physically active and involved in the world around them.

For example, urinary incontinence in women in their sixties affects about 30-40% of them -- but that includes very mild forms, and most can be treated (and sometimes cured). Britt I've seen men online really get off talking about this as a universal problem, kind of as if it's payback for the women they had some reason of their own not to like.

Aging is head on the body, absolutely. And interpersonal relationships are a whole new balance, not to mention your complex relationship with the self. But that doesn't have to be a focus of a show like this in a negative way in order for the storyline to express truth.[/quote]

[quote]They're in their 50s, not their 60s. And honestly I wouldn't be surprised if they have some kind of incontinence storyline at some point - probably forcing Miranda to be humiliated (again).[/quote]

Right, thus the "for example." But you're really fixed on urination, aren't you?

Hmmm.[/quote]
