We are told we will become invisible. That we will be ugly hags that no one will ever desire sexually again.  That we will be biologically worthless once we can no longer bear children.Lies. It’s all lies. It’s not our aging they fear.  It’s our power.  Confident women still scare the shit out of many people in our society. What better way to undermine that confidence than by making us terrified of the single biological reality we cannot escape no matter what we do?We’re scary because we see through your bullshit. We’re scary because we don’t need your approval.  We’re scary because we don’t need you.
