Wmnst 325 ch. 11crone - ANS-wise and experienced eldering women
Double standard of aging - ANS-old men are seen as handsome and distinguished, old
women are viewed as less attractive, but nicer. Aging women are worried about
appearance, men are worried about their lessening ability to function.
ageism - ANS-prejudice and discrimination based on age. (EX: telling old people jokes.)
Culture and age - ANS-in US individualism is emphasized so ppl who get older have
more trouble taking care of themselves. Aging brings need for help from others and this
can be seen as shameful
-in some cultures older people are venerated --buddhism and native american tribes
see the elders as respectable and full of knowledge
-when old ppl play important roles in society there is less focus on their bodies and
more on their contributions
-us views aging as process of decline
-how an old person is treated depends on his or her gender, status and power aside
from age
Self/social identities - ANS-ageism can be internalized
-older ppl have a pessimistic view of the health of other ppl in their age group but
consider themselves lucky exceptions
-discrepancy between self identity and social identity
-the gaps between self idea and social identities increased with age
-distancing self from actual age may be a form of resistance against the stigma of being
old
-everybody thinks of themselves as the exception, unlikely that this will allow older ppl to
bond or act collectively
Media images/stereotypes - ANS-there are very few older women portrayed in the
media, and those who are appear as unattractive, useless and boring
-as women grow older, they are less visible in media
-most invisible aspect of older women is their sexuality, only used for ridicule, older
mens virility shown by having them with younger women
-if an old woman appears nude in a movie it is seen as brave and risk taking
-LGBTQ ppl are invisible in mainstream and also media aimed at gay community
-there is the image of the kindly grandmother-warmth and nurturance
