I'm a young woman so maybe thats why I don't think age is the most important issue for women. Being valued for little more than having a body that looks good on nuts for a fast buck is more of an issue. I don't have a problem with glamour modelling, a lot of my sisters close friends are glamour models or strippers, but I do think its said that in 2008 women still feel that the only way they can achieve in life is through their looks. Until the media stops rewarding the talentless with massive paychecks for doing very little, then maybe eight and nine year old working class girls wont think that taking their clothes off, or starring in a reality tv series with a size 6 body is the only way a woman can be truly successful.

I grew up in the seventies and eighties when their was a huge trend for men to leave their wives of 20 or 30 years for women half their age. My father did. Now, in my forty's with a younger husband, I have horrible moments of feeling like the entire world is young and its the only thing that is acceptable. I worry constantly, my face, my body,my weight. It's a terrible feeling. And the constant bombardment of young young models gets really old!
