Madonna, Paulina, Ashley Why Women (of a certain age) Can’t Win

Modern Gen X Woman

The Grammy’s really struck a nerve in me. We were traveling for business and missed them and instead of seeing news dropping about the music, the performances, and the winners, my news feed was blowing up with negative, nasty comments about the work Madonna had done. It stopped us in our tracks and we rearranged all of our podcasts to quickly produce this one. We have to address what is going on here.

Madonna crucified for the work she had done.

Paulina Porizkova destroyed for not having work done and her too skinny ‘wrinkled’ body.

Ashley Judd being obliterated for her weight gain.

WTF?

Let’s dig in because we are pissed!

We’re having a party and YOU are invited.

Join us on Wednesday, March 8th at 5pm EST for the launch party in celebration of our annual digital magazine GEN neXt: The Voice of the Modern Gen X Woman. www.moderngenxwoman.com/party

In this episode we’re talking about…

• Why when women step in and destroy other women it takes things to an entirely new height
• Who are we to judge other people and what is right for them
• Why women can’t win at any age…. No mater what we do we seem to be judged and ranked based on some unknown metric for beauty
• How we can start to stop the commonplace ageist commentary that is not unacceptable
• Being aware of our own contribution to this discussion and our own unconscious bias
• If you see something, say something. We don't have to sit idly by while these things are happening
• Being comfortable in your skin and not giving an F about what anyone says or thinks

“Aging is a really, really inimate educator on loving yourself. You can’t stop it. It’s going to happen.” —Andie MacDowell

“We need to see there is a beauty in you and a beauty in maturity.” — Paulina Porizkova
