Dear Frederick, Ageism is not a culture thing, it's a gender thing. While we women appreciate our men and wine, aged and mature, men on the other hand like women to be forever young.
Speaking of how women age, an interesting thing happened to me about two days ago. I was at one of my husband's corporate events and a spunky, young colleague of his walked up to him to discuss the business of the day. I couldn't help but feel a jab of envy. I was that woman once. Spunky, dressed in office clothes, discussing corporate thingamajigs and sounding so full of potential. Fastforward, one decade later. Married, one pregnancy, 10 pounds I can't get rid off, one kid, trackpants and nothing exciting to talk about but pureed applesauce. Women can't win!!!:) Selma --------------------------------------- --- "Frederick \"FN\" Noronha" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > PS: Can we form an "oldies" club out here... just to > fight the age-ism > (as bad as racism or genderism and speciesism) of > most Goanetters?
