Women are judged on looks, like men are judged on career success. Every single woman has her own bell curve, and falls off a cliff at some point. At the same time, each woman is on the curve of all women, which probably doesn't seem steep to you because you literally don't see women who aren't super attractive.
Women choose to exit the competition, by a declaration of being done with men, by excluding men who insufficiently resemble an affluent movie character, by not fighting the weight battle, and through choices in appearance and lifestyle. I know someone who grumbles about feeling invisible, but she makes specific decisions to be just that.
Huh? I'm 45, have four young children. And I look like it. Are you suggesting that it was a choice to lose my abs?
I was replying to the portion in bold, that men don't see women who aren't super attractive. And there is this cliche that older women are invisible. I'm saying that's not true, to a large extent.
I don't even know what you are implying by "45 with 4 kids". If you've gained 50 pounds like the woman in that other thread, maybe you ought to look at that. Are 45-year-old women supposed to have abs?

Similarly, how many women smoke PCP? Drink mouthwash? Piss themselves while nodding off on junk on a park bench? Not none, but not near as much as men.
This is OP's point.
How much more access to education have men historically had than women?
How many women's accomplishments were pooh-poohed or falsely attributed to men?
It's hard to track historical female accomplishment when men provided access to education and decided what was worth recording in the history books.
