111. Aging, Beauty, and the Double Standard: Breaking Free from Diet Culture
Manage episode 474817992 series 3460143
Welcome to another solo episode!
In this episode, I dive into the social construction of aging and explore the immense societal pressure women face to age "gracefully." From the wellness and beauty industries promoting anti-aging products to the deeply ingrained belief that women must retain their youthful appearance, I unpack how these messages shape our perceptions of aging. I also tackle the double standard that exists for men, who are often celebrated for growing older, while women are penalized.
I also analyze how diet culture plays a pivotal role in reinforcing these harmful standards, urging women to fixate on their weight, appearance, and age.
Join me in challenging these societal norms. Let’s reframe beauty, worth, and self-acceptance in a world that tells us to do the opposite.
This is an episode about rejecting ageism, breaking free from diet culture, and learning to appreciate the wisdom that comes with growing older.
