Ageism: Interesting women get older, you know?  Alright then!

or Ageism it has been one of the most discussed topics in recent days for the belief that women, as they age, lose the right to be a woman, to enjoy life and, above all, to feel pleasure. The beauty is that there are still great influencers who bring the topic to the agenda and show it by putting the topic in the magnifying glass, as in the case of actress Andréa Beltrão, who is very active in this position.

In an interview with TPM magazine, he talks about it the common amazement of people when they discover their age, 58, who react by saying “BUT you look great”. In a good mood, he wonders how it should be, then, to belong to the age group if not very well.

Interesting women age

And they’re still very much alive, see? But, first of all, it is worthwhile to understand the cause of this bias against female aging, known as ageism. For this, it is nice to go back decades and even centuries! – past, where women, especially the older ones, were framed in a single profile: housewives, mothers, grandmothers.

There was therefore not the slightest possibility that a mother would live beyond motherhood, going out with her friends, for example. Or, then, of a grandmother who abandons crochet and takes pleasure. And the housewives? It’s okay to change the broom to lipstick, because homework calls “domestic” and not feminine, you know?

“The grandmother with cap and apron who prepares the cake for her grandchildren is not just the grandmother. Who says she doesn’t have a cat in her bed at night? A girl? A fantastic vibrator?”

Andréa Beltrão told TPM Magazine.

Hurricane Madonna

And the examples of brilliant women who forcefully refute ageism don’t stop there. On the 10th she Madonna gave an interview to the American program “The Night Show” to celebrate a historic feat: she was the first singer in history to put The 50 best songs on the Billboard list.

However, most of the comments on his social media had another theme: being too old. That’s when the question arises: is the problem just getting over 50 or continuing to be powerful and living like a woman until after 50, 60, 70? The response was amplified in the voices of these women.

Linda Evangelista, despite everything

Other powerful name and which has been talked about a lot recently is that of the supermodel Linda Evangelista. After a negative cryolipolysis – in which fat increased rather than decreased – the flagship model disappeared from the media for years. In this way, the same company that encourages aesthetic procedures excludes when something is not right.

After being on the cover of People magazine in February, Linda was also featured on the latest cover of British Vogue, mark an acceptance process and come back up strong enough. Duct tape was used for the photos Linda took to mask the unsuccessful results of the cosmetic surgery. In an interview with the magazine, she says it’s difficult, but she guarantees that she is trying to love herself despite everything.

Why not men

While getting old is seen as a “deadline” for women, the same is not true for men. This difference in vision is rooted in society and also includes a preference for relationships.

According to Adriana Weitzel, a psychotherapist, many women have preferred older partners to seek stability. This is because, when the idea is to take responsibility in life together, the tendency is for more mature people to know how to cope better.

“In order for someone to be more interesting, male or female, they need more elements, especially in their experience. In therapy sessions, I usually hear people say ‘he won me over with chat’. In addition to communication, culture, respect, sympathy and emotional abilities make someone more attractive, regardless of age “, concludes the specialist.
