When You Say I Look Good For A Woman Over 40
When you say I look good for a woman in my 40s…
Do you mean I look younger than expected?More toned, less worn, less wrinkled?
CAN WE REALLY SAY 'HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY'?
Centre all who identify as women.
Centre women of all ages.
Centre women of all shapes.
Centre women of all colour.
Centre women from all walks of life.
Centre matrilineal methods of circular living.
Centre the Earth herself.
I AM MY AGE
Today is my birthday. I'm 42 years of age.
Now before anyone says (and we've all said these things):
"You don't look your age"
"Forever 29"
"Still got it"
"Who's your dermatologist?"
or something similar... I would like to invite a different conversation around age.
INVOKING THE CRONE
The feminist says every woman (and all who identify as) is unique and beautiful in her way, with her personal stories kept as sacred scriptures in her body, her temple.
There are feminists EVERYWHERE, in all professions. Females represent an immense pool of economic buying might, yet, it perplexes and pains me that older, naturally aging women are so little represented and embraced within media, within art, and within visible society.
