@patrickhadfield@mastodon.scot Speaking as a woman over 60, we are so hated they make us invisible in every form of media they can. We are usually no longer considered attractive under the male gaze/patriarchy. And since we are not attractive or good to look at, they'd prefer we just disappear. I used to get sexual harassment constantly in public. Now I get men treating me viciously. Their contempt and hatred is not masked. It is obvious and blatant. Under the patriarchy older women have no value and the trappings and outlets of all of society make it extremely clear.
