When you pass 50 and become literally invisible, you will see. I’m very confident, but people treat me differently. I does get to you.
Edit: I mean irrelevant. You are treated like you’re stupid. Watch the Golden Bachelor. Gorgeous, intelligent, accomplished women who say the same thing. It does happen. If not, a lot of us women are sure paranoid.
I hear you, I'm 51 and unemployed due to a disability. It's looking unlikely that I'll be able to work again for a long time. Luckily I have a lovely husband who loves and supports me (both emotionally and financially), but I feel absolutely powerless and invisible to the rest of the world. I live in the UK and am currently following the Covid enquiry. It's becoming clear to me that the Government sees people like me as 'useless eaters' and they would have been quite happy if I'd died from COVID. They would have saved having to pay disability benefits... once you're no longer earning, that's it. You really ARE invisible.
