“Women in their 20s don’t have a patch on women in their 50s.”
“Older women could teach younger ladies a thing or two on style.”
“Those in their 20s only know fashion. Those over 40 know style.”
Of course, Ageism Is Never In Style is obviously all for celebrating style and proving that beauty and elegance is not defined by age. But is not the way to do it.
We get it. These phrases are meant to be empowering. They’re putting two fingers up to society’s unfair and insulting obsession with youth and those awful articles that continue to only celebrate younger women and criticise older ones. But as with dealing with any bully – the answer is not to stoop to their level.
The solution to knocking down the walls of ageism does not lie in pulling down others in the process.
After all, what does ‘ageism’ actually mean?
Ageism: Prejudice or discrimination on the grounds of a person’s age.
