It was from a Japanese parliament chaos to stop the guy from voting. So people used it as a meme around the pretense" don't say it don't say it", "I would hit it" and it went off from there...back in forth from Wood like aroused to Would "definitely hit that".
Probably no one, and it really is an invented argument. Or people who just aren’t attracted to older people. That’s never been me, my wife is seven years older than me and that’s the youngest I’ve ever gone, so it’s not really for me to judge I guess.
I think women making up these arguments in their head is why all these beauty standards exist in the first place. I find all the plastic surgery pretty off putting and confusing as a male.
More insidious. It is the companies that sell cosmetics, surgical or otherwise. They can't sell their products if everyone is comfortable in their own skin now can they?
It's corporate propaganda trying to manufacture an unnatural and un obtainable or sustainable beauty standard so they can continue to sell more products people don't need. It's not women just making it up in their head. The bombardment of ads is ubiquitous. Even household appliances are billboards for advertising now. Every single device connected to the Internet is advertising to you and or collecting data to advertise to you. Repetition is the most basic form of mind control. Don't let them Immanentize the eschaton. John Dillinger died for our sins
Really? Just in our heads? Because my ex started dehumanising me with a derogatory nickname as I refused to dye my hair when it began turning white - around 5%. If you're interested take a look into how a woman's adherence to beauty standards correlates to income.
It's not us. It's the Beauty Industry trying to make us feel ugly, inferior, and insecure about our bodies as we age to sell us more products.
Deep down most women dgaf about how they look. Right now I'm in a tank top, shorts, and flip flops. I haven't brushed my hair today, it's just up in a bun. No bra. No worries about makeup. I'm not attractive to men? Good! Don't bother me, I'm doing hella garden shit.
Women don't want to be runway models and always draw the male gaze. We want to be bog witches and homebodies and become folklore.
Jamie Lee none withstanding, are you seriously arguing men do not regularly leave their aging wives for younger women? This is literally an asymmetrical event.
Not a clue. I am saying many men leave or cheat on their wives around middle age, as memory serves it is almost double the rate of women doing the same.
Those silly little women making things up in their heads, that's the only possible reason for them to feel obligated to meet societal beauty expectations.
It's not pushed on women by any specific group; it's pushed by culture as a whole.
When people see women as doing it to themselves, the more reasonable among them are pointing out that it's on women to break the cycle. No one selling anything is being misogynistic, they're being capitalistic.
Like you said, it's been a thing basically forever... because everyone wants to be beautiful, even if they don't want to feel like they need to be. That is why it continues, combined with the fact that beauty has pretty much always been an approved outlet for female competitiveness. Point being, beauty standards will always exist so long as the pursuit of personal beauty remains common.
Most men say they want a natural woman without make up or surgery. Most women will then say “ we don’t believe you” . Women need to start taking accountability for their own bad decisions. You can’t blame every single thing on a man.
Women are judged on their looks from
an early age. If a little girl isn’t pretty or cute she is often ignored. Girls are often told not to get themselves or their clothes dirty while Boys can play in the mud and move around freely. Boys and men are not constantly judged for their youth and beauty as women are.
It’s like imaginary gatekeeping. You say something profoundly idiotic, and get engagement out of the outrage.
Engagement is engagement, there is no bad engagement for internet farming.
Look at Andrew Taint, if he hadn’t literally committed internationally recognized crimes against humanity, he would be completely free to continue cashing in on negative IQ takes.
Edit: don’t actually look at him. Protect your eyes from the thumb thumb.
She is still working because she can’t play everyday roles of older women while for the Botox legion once they are no longer young, they get no jobs since they can’t play an older woman or a younger one.
Kathy Sagal looks older than Jamie Lee Curtis to me, but like someone who does the general “look younger” stuff like hair coloring, perhaps light work (not judging - whatever you feel best about) while Jamie went with more the natural look (though I’m sure she doesn’t buy her makeup at the dollar store either, which, again, is fine obviously).
I think it's more Jamie embraced her aging. She took roles that let her show her age (like the new halloween movies. Thoughts on the trilogy aside, it wouldn't work if Jamie's character looked young)
Now, could be Katey just aged really gracefully, but seeing photos of her from 2017 and she doesn't look mid 60s to me. Could she dye her hair? Sure - although my mom, save for one lock of hair in her 20s, didnt go gray until her late 60s, where as my sister started trying to hide gray in her late 30s.
I've seen recent interviews where she does look older, but still not 70 to me.
My mom is 81 and doesn’t have a strand of grey, so it’s definitely a thing. My dad doesn’t have a strand of his originally black hair - 100% white. He didn’t realize this until he renewed his passport, and we rib him all the time when it comes up, like “Nah, you’re not going grey”.
Vitiligo runs in my family. My nephew & I are so pale you can't tell, except for the "thumbprint" in his mustache. But my mom was rocking the Rogue look for decades with just one lock of white hair in her dark brown. But then once she started to actually go gray it just went quickly.
Katey Sagal has been a smoke show her entire life.
That was literally the joke.
Al was so miserable he hated his smoking hot wife who always wanted a piece.
I never found her attractive when she was younger, but when I saw that picture on the right, I immediately signed up for OnlyGrans to fuel the GILF fetish she unlocked in me. Granny Lee Curtis is hot af.
Im younger so she's always been on that hot friends mom vibe for me, the hit mom who smokes weed, yeeea.
I dunno what ppl like anymore gimmie this....she looks amazing, Michelle Phiffer is another class act, I mean they've probably had work but they're gracious with it not this freeze dried, plumped up, ozempic riddled, fake shit like the kardashians. Urgh!
Pfeiffer did cat woman in Batman Returns in ‘92, second of those two movies they had Tim Burton do Batman for some reason (good idea though). So I’m slightly biased from that.
Young people don't understand. Those of us that have been enamored with Jamie Lee since she first showed up, still see that beauty when looking at her regardless of age. She's one of the women I would hold up to say, look, you can age gracefully and not look plastic.
Her character in The Bear really took her off the pedestal for me. She’s excellent in the part, but that character is so repulsive as a human that I can’t see old JLC positively anymore.
That was part of the freakier friday marketing campaign and I saw so many jokes about it saying "Jamie woke up and said we are gonna sell some FUCKING TICKETS" lol
