As a woman.
Ageism against younger women.
My mother and I saw a young woman one day and had polar opposite reactions simultaneously
I said “omg look how cute she is!”
Mom said “omg her skirt, that’s disgusting”
It gave me flashbacks
As a little kid older women loved me! I loved the women around me. Then puberty hit and suddenly I was “up to something” or “knew what I was doing”
It was like I lost all the women I looked up to, overnight. - and no I didn’t know “what I was doing” tf
Noww I get what it was about.
Now when I see a young woman enjoying herself all adorned and dressed up, male gaze, pick me energy, just a phase
- whatever
I love it! I love that she’s enjoying herself and exploring her s**y side, I love watching women be feminine.
Watching girls finding their style as they grow. I throw out compliment’s compulsively.
Why would I be angry the young woman looks it?
Let them live.
