Generally speaking....



I think that it is a bit sad that women try to look older when they are in their teens, then spend the years after their 20s trying to look younger.



Why is it that we rate our self worth on looking younger? Why is it that our years of knowledge and life skills showing on our faces and bodies are not celebrated? There is nothing wrong with being a 'crone' (menopause), once upon a time the crone was revered as a wise woman and something to aspire to.



The in the show biz world of having to stay young as a woman is unnatural and misogynistic. We see older men in films having much younger women as their romantic partner in the story script. It is an awful message to be sending out, that a woman's worth is based on how youthful she looks.



We are all humans, we all age, why is it that the journey that is life can not show itself on our faces?



I am all for good diet, keeping healthy, toned and wanting to look good. But this social pressure for women to look younger than they are I really find obnoxious.
