Perhaps I’m just getting crusty in my old age but why is it deemed amusing to portray old(er) women as sex obsessed idiots. There’s currently an advert running showing an elderly trendy woman saving money on a car purchase I think, though I could be wrong, and using the savings to hire a half naked male butler. This is not the only advert of this type that’s been done.
If the advert showed an elderly man who hired a half naked woman there’d be an outcry.
Why is it absurd to think of older women still having sexual urges? I’m not sure if I’m explaining this very well but it seems we are being ridiculed by society. It seems a cruel caricature of older women. I suppose we are all expected to be dried up hags with warts on our noses living with ten cats.
What do you think?
Now hiding behind sofa.
