Ageism is as odious as racism and sexism.
There's more than just racism. There's ageism and sexism as well.
French culture takes ageing very seriously. There's much less ageism than in Anglo-Saxon countries.
I am concerned about ageism and the loss of beauty - the perception that as you grow older, you 'lose your looks,' which I think is diabolical.
All of my history as an African-American woman, as a Jewish woman, as a Muslim woman. I'm bringing everything I ever knew, and all the stories I've read - everything good, strong, kind and powerful. I bring it all with me into every situation, and I will not allow my life to be minimized by anybody's racism or sexism or ageism.
It's just something that I like, and I also don't buy into the ageism theory.
Ageism is the racism of the gay world. We really believe that age-and all of our fears that it carries-will "rub off" on us, the way that racists once believed blackness would.
