feministdisney: “No,” replied Gothel; “Why do you ask?” Article via the Guardian: America’s $88 billion anti-aging industry: dangerous with no scientific backing Piece on Sociological Images: “Baby Lips”: Thanks for the Infantilization, Maybelline “The Double Standard of Aging” by Susan Sontag on Media Watch (published in 1979… how slow things are to change!) “[Women] can let themselves age naturally and without embarrassment, actively protesting and disobeying the convention that stem from this society’s double standard about aging. Instead of being girls, girls as long as possible, who then age humiliatingly into middle-aged women, they can become women much earlier-and remain active adults, enjoying the long, erotic career which women are capable, far longer. Women should allow their faces to show the lives they have lived. Women should tell the truth.” an article from Virginia Tech’s research magazine on ageism in culture
