Lol what i dont understand is that how come the species natural inclination be termed as "sexist" or "double standards" ?.. women probably dont like to hear it but understand it very well at-least subconsciously that there is a "difference" between a man & a woman when it comes to matters of age.. men only become more desirable as they age but for women its the exact opposite..a woman's desirability has a definite shelf-life unlike men who post puberty remain sexually virile for all intentions & purposes , the health & age related issues like ED notwithstanding... thats not ageist or sexist or double standards - thats just how mother nature made men & women ..now what are you gonna do about it ?.. cry n curse or embrace this simple truth of life ?.. so basically , women are complaining about the fact that men dont find older women attractive ?.. how insane is that ?.. its not in our hands who we get attracted to , its how we are wired by mother nature & no that is not an excuse for sexism or double standards .. there are many other relevant forms of sexism & double standards that needs attention & not this bullshit .. the sooner women embrace the concept of menopause & dwindling desirability , the better it is for their sanity.. no wonder women are extra-sensitive about their age ! 😆
May be the REAL problem here is , for most people "Sexual Desirability = Worth /Respect" 🤔 , while i agree that desirability is indeed a plus , i dont think its healthy to let this sole factor govern worth/respect .. i find it funny how on the one hand women diss out on actresses/models for objectifying themselves & on the other hand , this happens to be their world view wherein aging is perceived negatively.. 😆 ..i think it will do good to women's sanity if they refrain from judging others & maintain a healthy world view themselves !
Looking forward to MCP slanders BTW ! 😃 😆
P.S.. I myself used to fawn over Aishwarya while growing up , but now i dont fancy her anymore, DP & Kat are the current object of my affection , however , i do have immense respect for Aishwarya , so my question is , is that bad ?.. does that make me a sexist or an ageist ? ..coz i dont think i chose to not fancy Aish anymore , thats like saying being gay/straight is a choice..
