Reply #9: Men are allowed to have bags under their eyes

[noamnety]

when they age.

Women aren't - it's a sign that something is "wrong." And of course if they get that "corrected" (as if aging is something that needs medical correction), then they are slammed for being superficial and stuck on their looks.

I don't think she looks worse than the men at all; I think we just have been conditioned by corporate media, porn and airbrushing to have different standards for how a woman in her 50's should look compared to men in their 50's.

(And of course if your face isn't perfectly symmetrical, it's considered a sign that you look deranged, mentally ill, untrustworthy, etc.)
