Opinion | Teens Are Getting Botox. I'm Going Full Crone in 2025.
Briefly

I understand why women are scared to admit what age they are, but my feeling is that will never change until women change it.
I remember being in the middle school Thunderdome in the 1990s. If my mother had tried to talk to me then about beauty by showing me Joni Mitchell or whoever, I would have laughed her off the face of the planet.
Normal preadolescent dismissal won't deter me, because the pressure to look good in a hyper-conventional way is only getting worse.
Women's magazines don't even seem to bother being mildly critical of plastic surgery or injections anymore, the wonky logic being that it's anti-woman to be judgmental of anything a woman does.
