Jasmine Guy's Aging is NOT the Problem | Why Are We Attacking Women for Getting Older?
Jasmine Guy is a phenomenal actress and on the reboot of #adifferentworld instead of celebrating her presence, the internet decided to attack her for aging. This week Mauri and Dina are breaking down the exhausting reality of how women are perceived in media not as people, but as objects that need to look a certain way forever. From Jasmine Guy to Halle Berry to Madonna, women in the spotlight get hammered for aging. Meanwhile, men get a pass. Men show up with bad plastic surgery and nobody says a word. Women show up with a wrinkle and it's a national conversation. The expectations that need to stop. And it doesn't matter if you have wrinkles, if you've had work done, if your hair is gray. You're still powerful. You're still worthy. You're still a bad b*tch. This is about protecting women from an industry that profits off their insecurity.
