Why the sad face emoji and the negative comments?

Does it make you feel better about yourself to draw attention to the aging process in other women?

Strikes me as competitive. Toxic femininity.

Or at least, that's what i'd be saying if Larry was actually a woman.

So toxic. Tearing other women down for simply presenting themselves as they are so as to give assurance to the rest of us that we are indeed mortal.

What is wrong with the sort of person who would criticise this?

It's meant to be empowering. Why would you put a negative spin on it?

Its just her usual standard of behaviour!

It's a weird phenomenon. Larry is older than Elle.

At least, Larry was in his late 50s on Yahoo ... and that was 15 years ago.

But yes, let's mock women who look as though they have aged.

So strange.

Anglo Celtic women age terribly fast! 😳

We Mediterranean women (thankfully) don’t!

I guess the thing is that over the years—when Elle was at the height of
her career—her youthful image was in the media nearly every day, so
that tends to be how we remember her, now that she's seldom in our
daily media every second day.        In effect, we've not really seen a
progression of her natural aging over time.

           

And it's really nonsensical to be shocked when we see someone who's
today forty years older than our memory lets us acknowledge.

At 76 years of age, I'm certainly not the handsome young spunk I was
at 26, which raises the question of why exactly we judge aging women
much more harshly than aging males.
