Why did young women in the 1920s called women born in the 90s antiques as soon as they hit their 30s?

Why were flappers so harsh on women just maybe a decade older than themselves back in the 1920s?

Why were they so ageist.. ? Everyone gets old.

Louise Brooks wrote, "stigmatized at the age of 31 as a grasping, silly, sexless antique, the great Lillian Gish left Hollywood forever."


Louise Brooks then flopped for the rest of her life and she became old herself too.

I don't understand this ageism.
