I refuse to perpetuate the regressive cultural precept that renders a woman’s aging body such a detriment, that we have collectively and coyly agreed to not even mention it.
This goes for weight, too. When are we going to stop basing our self-concepts on the quantification of our parts and impossible standards of eternal youth and unnatural thinness?
