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

OP was a conversation about a subjective impression and the resulting painful feeling your tweets were about a model of the world (and seem to be responding preemptively to double-standard lines you've seen women spout but which OP did not) so you're talking across one another

the word "harmful" has a meaning the word "trope" also has a meaning ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

perhaps your argument is "yes, and she was using those words in an idiosyncratic way, and so you should not use the dictionary to understand her meaning", in which case, OK, sure, ... but that doesn't make me the bad guy, or the one who is communicating poorly

Replying to @MorlockP @selentelechia and
I think in this case she had a legitimate point about a painful emotional reaction, and communicated about it poorly the "harmful trope" language sounds SJ-y, which is many people's core vocab for "painful emotional thing" (to our detriment)
