You don't look like you're... What exactly are you supposed to look like? Why are the stereotypes of older people supposed to be the reality? It's just #ageism.

Would it be less grievous if the person was 48 or is the @ nypost using #ageism to elicit sympathy because it’s worse to hurt an older person? But is it? “98-year-old beaten with broomstick, chair in NYC by woman campaigning for Dem”

Women may give a lot of thought before wearing a string bikini. They may wonder, “Does this make me appear confident, empowered, sexy or trashy?" ” Men, meanwhile, are frequently operating on a much simpler level: Wow, she looks hot in that suit!!! #sexism sandycamillo.com

You’re 26 yrs old and for a minute forget if it’s Tuesday or Wednesday- you and your friends laugh hysterically. You’re 75 and do the same thing & your kids are googling homes for people with dementia- #ageism

The best #People can do to describe this poor woman who died after falling in a manhole is to say she’s a grandmother as if that says it all -all it says is this is #ageism in the media

It's crazy that on a retail store's satisfaction survey, there is a question asking the age of the respondent. Judging the validity of a person's experience by age is #ageism-10 people the exact age can have incredibly different viewpoints.

On a hospital visit I witnessed how simple words carry #ageist connotations. Several times nurses were overheard commenting how “cute” a 91 male patient was. An infant, child or teenagager may be “cute” but calling a 91 yr old cute is infantilizing & degrading.

“She’s too young the next thing you know she’ll get pregnant- she’s just too old, she’ll never be tech savvy -both just examples of #ageism & yet often common barriers to job opportunities

This news headline is total #ageism- would it have been ok if the victims were 40?“Prosecutors say the woman punched one protester in the chest and shoved two others to the ground, all of whom were over the age of 65”

It’s disturbing that the Progressive Insurance ad “Don’t become your parents” is commercially so successful as its message denigrates older people by categorizing them as awkward & foolish . It’s actually celebrating #ageism

2 U.S. Olympic Hockey Champions but with unequal rewards-The women players traveled commercially and returned to North America late Monday evening, well after the men, who traveled on a charter flight paid for by the NHL and NHL Players’ Association. WHY? #sexism

Researchers state nursery rhymes like “Old Mother Hubbard”perpetuate #ageism as they present elderly characters as incompetent, unlikable and irresponsible. They’re imprinting these harmful stereotypes on the minds of children.

How importance is looks in a man’s attraction to a woman? One man said in “The Shocking Truth Behind What Men REALLY Think About Women”-“The reason why relationships last to old age in our society today is due to emotional connection, not physical attraction.” #ageism
