Is there 'a cloak of invisibility' which overcomes women over the age of 50?

Not always, but some times and some places. Can’t be specific, but have noticed this at times.

I am 70 and have not noticed a problem with being invisible.
I don't work so can't comment on that aspect but in my day to day life I don't feel it.

I bloody hope so. I had to tell one young lad the other day that I was old enough to be his mother

This is a comment which was quoted on another thread about a totally different topic. I am in my late 50s and haven't really felt 'invisible', although I do become annoyed by casual ageist remarks expressed on the news/internet. It's just that I haven't felt personally discriminated against. If anything I feel more confident and assertive (not aggressive grin) with maturity, but would be interested in other people's points of view.
