Unfortunately, as a woman, your “looks” are directly related to your earning potential, and hence, survival. From the moment you were born, everyone in your life was making this judgement about you first and foremost (even your weight, as a baby) and it affected where you were in the family’s hierarchy. Adding age and weight lowers your score, like every woman’s, and if you’ve read discrimination statistics, you know this is a fact, not some “crazy broad” hallucination. Decide to manage your personal feelings and expectations as you wish; people live very happy, meaningful and well-adjusted lives after choosing to let their hair go gray, joyfully eat what they like, read books by the fireplace instead of doing boring, punishing workouts, attend tedious social events to increase their social standing, and pucker up to influential asshats they don’t like every day! It’s just a matter of deciding the most painless way to get YOUR needs met in a way that aligns with your values and pocketbook. But, your pocketbook WILL likely suffer, and even your doctors will treat you differently.

People who have been following those terrible, restrictive rules are not gonna let other people off the hook, (or reward them, for heaven’s sake) they’re gonna punish them!
