Zitat des Tages über Altersdiskriminierung / Ageism:
It's getting better but men still earn more and there are more jobs for them. Ageism is a big thing. Parts for women disappear as you get older.
Just as we reject racism, sexism, ageism, and heterosexism, we reject speciesism. The species of a sentient being is no more reason to deny the protection of this basic right than race, sex, age, or sexual orientation is a reason to deny membership in the human moral community to other humans.
All my life, I faced sexism and racism and then, when I hit 40, ageism.
I am concerned about ageism and the loss of beauty - the perception that as you grow older, you 'lose your looks,' which I think is diabolical.
There's ageism in everything. I don't give a hoot. It isn't what other people think; it's what you think. But it's hard to come to terms with getting older. I admire people like Vivienne Westwood.
I hate to generalize, but in general, both men and women suffer from ageism. Men much less because men gain power as they get older. Women lose power as they get older. Men are seen as gaining experience and being distinguished. Sons look forward to replacing their fathers.
I do feel that the trend is away from ageism and toward a recognition that older people have a unique voice.
Too old at 72? Careful. Ageism is out. We'll have the law on you!
As I plotted 'Blueprints,' I realized that ageism against women is most obvious in the field of entertainment - and that I needed a TV show in my book.
Ageism is a variation of racism or sexism, all the other isms.
I think that ageism is a cultural illness; it's not a personal illness.
French culture takes ageing very seriously. There's much less ageism than in Anglo-Saxon countries.
In the music world, ageism is a big issue. It's about youth and youth culture. There's no other art form that I know that requires you to be a certain age.
Ageism is as odious as racism and sexism.
The beautiful thing is that ageism just doesn't exist on 'EastEnders.' The show saved me.
