Sexist Fake News on the Internet
A sociologist's perspective with a master's degree in politics.
I have two categories of news for women over 40.
Some good, and some bad.
The good news first, then the bad.
The first good news is that humanity hasn't changed at all in the last 70 years of my life, including five stable relationships, two marriages, and two divorces, six children, six stepchildren, and one grandchild.
The other good news is that there's nothing wrong with being single after 40. It's nature that's at fault, not the woman herself. Her body ages naturally: wrinkles appear, the follicles around sixty that you were born with to bear children are exhausted one by one with each menstruation.
But yes, women are programmed to have a limited number of children, each nine-month pregnancy. If you didn't know, their ability to produce children declines after forty and ends in their early fifties. The corpuscle simply doesn't mature or replenish the reproductive eggs.
But, meanwhile, men's nature has no limits on fertilization. They can fertilize one or more women per week. Once pregnant, a woman can only reproduce again after at least ten months. Therefore, a woman can reproduce a maximum of sixty people during her fertile life, while a man can reproduce over a thousand babies in sixty years.
They've misled you about the equality of the sexes.
The other good news is that the beauty of a woman between the ages of fourteen and thirty is extraordinary, while men work hard to impress and do everything to win a young woman over for marriage. At this stage, women never realize that it's a brief, fleeting season, and that decline is inevitable and beauty fades. Even the vulva becomes wrinkled and ugly, breasts sag, the belly grows, wrinkles appear, crow's feet appear around the eyes, varicose veins appear, cellulite appears, stretch marks cannot be disguised. So there's no point in hiding and trying to compare yourself to younger women: doing an occupational therapy program, silicone implants, dance classes, aerobics, weight training, tight and short clothes, low-cut tops, and makeup will only make you look like a hard-working and careful older woman, but a beautiful older woman, an available older woman, an attractive older woman. Just a older woman.
The downside is that it's not modernity's fault, nor feminism, nor the internet, nor machismo. It's always been this way since my childhood. Seventy years ago, women's physical decline had not yet been accepted by the ideology of egalitarianism falsified by the gender equality movement. So our grandmothers didn't try to compete with men or overcome their years when old age arrived.
There's time to date, then to marry, then to have children and finally become a grandmother and grow old with dignity.
Old age and death are the only certainties that you've had a good and predictable life, that you married at the right time and grew accustomed to your imperfect partner, and that your children were never exemplary creatures because no one chooses their children: not their sex, their temperament, nor their intelligence. And if you were lucky, they were born: some physically perfect, some ugly, and some beautiful. Perhaps one of them has exceptional talent in engineering, music, literature, art, medicine, politics—in other words, an ordinary person, or perhaps a deviant with a psychiatric disorder or a homosexual. Nothing can be planned for life; no pregnancy is planned in 98% of all families in the world.
So, the conclusion is that they created a problem for modern women over 40 that has always existed since the time of Rachel and Leah in the life of Jacob in the Bible and the Old Testament. Nothing new in behavior, only the speed with which people realized this circus called the internet, full of lies and fantasies of perfect people who post a plate of feijoada on social media, their birthday, or that of their happy partner, has changed.
And let the drums of general falsehood beat.
It's not that women have become demanding, or that they complain too much, it's that the girly chatter of beauty salons and bus station bathrooms has reached us through social media. Damn the internet. The sexist world has never changed; the drumbeat is louder.
