I’ve seen a lot of outrage in response to the Magasin paragraph about aesthetics/anti-aging, mostly criticizing cost, time, and pressure to optimize. But what’s really interesting is to consider how our cultural obsession with youthfulness is intertwined with the biggest news story of the week….

a culture which reveres female youth and innocence despises female age and experience. It disgusts them, scares them. That’s our paedophiliac culture too; misogyny of adult women is the opposite of sexual desire for girls, an inverted mirror. We are crones, hags, witches. Because we’re a threat.
