it's not true. For example, my mom isn't a sexpot anymore but she's a valuable and attractive person who certainly wouldn't abide being ignored

Replying to @sonyasupposedly @default_friend
I think there is some truth to it, but really only in the limited scope of looking for a romantic partner. It's absolutely not true that older women have less "social value" or are less interesting as friends -- probably quite the opposite.

the value of anyone - man, woman, child - is composed of a dozen things: wealth + sexual attractiveness + loyalty + skills + ... As w any summed series, there are coefficients. For better or worse, biology puts a VERY HIGH coefficient on a woman's youth / SMV / fertility >>>

A 70 year old woman who is kind to children and cats, and good at teaching pottery classes has a lot of value. ...but her SMV is 0, and that means that, in a pragmatic, DESCRIPTIVE sense, her value is fairly low. I don't argue that this is great. I argue that this is.

There is an endless supply of essays written by late 30s / 40s / 50s women about how men used to smile at them, let them cut in line, hold the door for them....and now they're invisible. Yeah...so now you're treated just like, you know, MEN are. THAT MUST BE SO HARD FOR YOU.

I agree with you on the object level but you're communicating this in a way that OP is near-certain to reject

Replying to @MorlockP @sonyasupposedly and
OP is expressing that hearing about how SMV drops for women after 30 is *painful* esp as one approaches 30 (rational arguments and nuance aside, sometimes shit like that gets disproportionately magnified) arguing "well it DOES," with a snarky tone, is unlikely to go over well

no, she's not arguing that it's painful she's arguing that hearing it is "harmful", and thus - implicitly - she doesn't want to hear it read her words > Not to be a one issue tweeter, but really the 'women expire' trope is so, so, so harmful. HARMFUL

Replying to @MorlockP @sonyasupposedly and
I have thoughts but it would come down to our subjective interpretations of "harmful" in this specific context (+ whether pain=harm, and whether the "women expire" line is actually widespread enough to cause that much pain...)2 replies 0 retweets 3 likes -
