It's in the interests of predatory men to make us believe that younger women are more desirable than older ones purely because of their looks.
In fact, it's also about compliance. Younger women are less likely to tell awful men to go fuck themselves.
It takes time and experience to be able to stand up to terrible men. I still don't think I'm great at it, and I'm nearly 40. When I was 18? No fucking chance.
18 year olds: if you don't believe me that this is about compliance rather than beauty, feel free to tell a predatory older man to go fuck himself and see how swiftly he decides you were actually ugly all along.
@girlonthenet Same. Nearly 40 and feeling like I could be better at telling awful men off.
It doesn't help that the narrative often is that it's the woman's fault for being hit on.
