[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]op here. I think I realized it before on some level, but I’m seeing how deep it goes more now than I saw it before. But these comments are actually great fodder for my point. Even feminist women are negative. I don’t feel oppressed. I’m happily married, thriving professionally, and more than comfortable. I’m just noting what I’m seeing in our culture. Like happening to aging women including me. [/quote]

Op can you tell us more what you are observing?[/quote]

A lot of verbal abuse and anger, by men and women alike. A lot of younger men taking credit for work that older women do. A lot of women in meetings and in life having to repeat themselves or remind people of what they said—because people discount or disregard what older women are saying. It is crazy to see it so so clearly now. Like one of those hidden visual images when we were teens— you stare long enough and the tiger pops out. You’re like wow how did I not see that tiger?! People, the tiger is there and it’s cutting off a major source of value and charm of life (that I think older women bring to society) for all of us. [/quote]

Sounds like a workplace issue.[/quote]
