Great analysis of the situation. It's common in all "public" situations, such as TV news reporting, where we always get a fresh young female face. It reminds me of the ads on TV for wrinkle cream... for women. As though men don't get wrinkles. I think about Trump, who is old, fat and dumpy, getting a job as president. That just sucks. Talk about a "new face" "trumping" one of the most experienced presidential candidates we've ever had.

So, I completely respect your pointing out such a glaring double standard. I hope more people will read this meme, and give it thought. I may rebump it a few times, just to try to get more people to read it.

Excellent points! MineralMan Mar 2018 #1
