How often do you experience ageism?

Question

genericname85 · Accepted Answer

these "ism" words have mutated from "describing legit oppression in a society" to "being a tool for every bitch to get rid of their obligations and responsibilities or to gaslight people into letting them fullfill their criminal sexual desires" by claiming they are oppressed. there's reasons we have age restricted areas in society. why should a 40 year old drag queen be allowed in kindergarden? why should a kindergarden kid be allowed in a strip club? that's not oppression.

I have not really, but going back to school in my 40s and having people 20+ years younger than I in classes, it does make me feel a bit awkward if I stop to think that a lot of my classmates were born this century or weren't old enough to remember things like the Challenger disaster, the first Gulf War, or even the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

Age-ism has always been an issue. I haven’t experienced it a lot personally outside of when I was a supervisor in my early/mid-twenties. I have seen people older have a hard time getting a job, for example, because they were looking for someone younger (not 50+)

Fortunately that's a kind of discrimination that I've never faced. There's something way more obvious than my age, so...

HawkPerception · Answer

Very often from younger kids online to be honest. As soon as you get into a debate or argument online with them they use age against you saying "Aren't you a little old to be arguing with a teenager?"

This generation is the most entitled and worst. One day when they get older, I hope they come to understand what they're saying.

At 60 to 61 made a noticeable difference. After being cleared to return to work after an accident I've put in well over 65 apps. Only received 2 interviews and both a no go.

Due to my height (4’8), sometimes. A few years ago, I went out to dinner with my parents. The hostess seriously offered me a kid’s menu. 🙄

Depending on who I'm spending time with. But can't blame people. I forget my age half the time and still have the urge to say I'm 21.
