REMINDER: “The wall” is a patriarchal myth 🙌🏼

I often find women to age way better than men do, I don’t understand where this idea came from.

Men’s hairlines recede, they usually gain a lot of weight when they settle and you can see their general hygiene melting like snow in front of the sun..

Moisturizer... what’s that?

As I get older (30+) I often find myself super proud of all my single/unmarried friends just freaking out there and winning in their careers and life. Like fuck yeah, woman. Live your best life, chase them dreams, make those friends, travel that world. Be the better you you wanted without a partner.

Isn’t it just SO CONVENIENT that the age at which women are said to “expire” is the SAME AGE at which our BRAINS FINISH DEVELOPING.

Tie that man down while you’re young, pretty, and intellectually underdeveloped, girls! You don’t want to get TOO SMART and TOO MATURE to realize you just SETTLED FOR AN ABUSIVE LOSER.

When I was 25 I was way more naive and easier to control, I didn't know how to really advocate for myself.

Of course it's in someone else's best interest to hoodwink me at that age into doing unpaid labor the remainder of my life.

I'm older now and would never settle for the things I'd be open to settling for in my 20s. I spent this time earning money and leveling up in my career and now it's impossible to close that can of worms.

It's a scam and I'm glad it didn't work on me. I'm so much happier with my life right now than I'd have been if I'd gotten married younger and stuck with doing the majority of the unpaid household labor.

I love this message. As women, we have to keep reminding each other that we are beautiful and valuable at any age. Don't forget, women being harsh towards other women is another way that the patriarchy exerts control.

I feel like so much of what I was taught to believe has been a lie

Big-Respond8481 · 2021-04-13T19:35:30+00:00

"make all your important life decisions before age 25"

NAILED IT. I wonder how many women's lives were fucked up permanently because of this. Women making poor decisions, out of an engineered sense of desperation, that put them firmly into poverty as single moms while their male peers go on to finish their degrees, get good jobs, and save money early.

It's just a coincidence that the same age when your frontal lobe has fully completed its development is the age that men decided we start to lose value? No, I don't believe so. They want us making poor decisions with our desperate, underdeveloped young brains that will haunt us and drag us down for the rest of our lives.

I feel that I'm much more attractive now that I'm 36 than I ever did in my 20s. I dress better and I have a better sense of myself than I did at 22.

Small example but one of the Patron Saints of FDS, Qveen Herby, is 35 this year. This woman is beautiful, vibrant, and her career is popping off! 25 is barely the beginning.

When you're problematic, you age like unrefrigerated milk. That's why women win at aging.

2021-04-14T01:02:15+00:00

I'm 33 and I see no decrease in male attention at all. My mom met her bf of 14 years when she was 44, they traveled all over the world together and he financially helped her purchase her investment condo. Quite frankly, I don't care if men stop finding me sexually attractive, Imma be fine with or without a man. (But I actually have an awesome bf). So, wall or no wall - I don't give a shit. They say shit like: "There are new woman turning 18 every day" Alright, and?? Like you are already a bitter loser from a lack of potential prospects, what makes you think young women gonna flock to your post-wall balding ass? lol

gingerandlime · 2021-04-13T19:14:56+00:00

Oh yes. Big lies told to have us make stupid decisions and give up our power before our brains are fully matured.

Freecandyhere · 2021-04-14T00:46:34+00:00

I just turned 38 and I feel more fashionable and competent than I've ever been in my life. I am enjoying living for myself with no worries from men

looking-for-freedom1 · 2021-04-14T01:34:41+00:00

Soon they gonna start saying that women expire when they reach 5 years old.

2021-04-14T01:05:24+00:00

I'm sorry but women are never short of male attention. Also older women look way better than older men. Like WAYY better. Even in mental hospitals,nursing homes,rehab programs men still can't leave women alone.

Aocwannabe · 2021-04-14T01:14:14+00:00

I never felll into the wall stuff. I saw older women in my family getting married and dating. For one my mom is 42 and is still very attractive. Also my grandma was still very attractive well into her 60's before she passed. She had a LTR but didn't desire to marry. It must be genetics because my mom and grandma both have a lot of kids and bodies are still in pretty good shape. Also older women just have to keep their body in shape and they'll be just fine. Not to even be racist but black really don't crack. Yeah my options won't be the same as they were in my 20's but your options change as you age. The options I had when I was 16 aren't the same as now and my options now won't be the same in ten years. It's suppose to change and be adjusted as you age. My dad actually told my mom this wall B's talk but in different words and that she wouldn't be able to find someone. She divorced him and Welp it's a year later she's engaged,her fiance moved her and my sisters into a nice three bedroom apartment. 42,five kids,two under age 10 post wall and all. 🙃

Oddly enough I look way better now as 27 than 25. My adult ance is better handled, I lost weight, gained a better understanding of fashion, learned my color palette and have more disposable income to fund my beauty routine and closet.

boiUneedAwash · 2021-04-13T22:43:24+00:00

Im all for free the nipple, but i feel like this isnt most men, after all theres quite a sizeable chunk that are into older women, i myself am 33 and am dating a 25y/o man, and he’s great, very mature for his age, there are some cultures outside of the western world that still have a problem with this, but its definitely not as widespread as this fellow queen sugests❤️👑
