Ageism Quotes

• Así pues, mi consejo no solicitado a las mujeres en el lugar de trabajo es el siguiente. Cuando te enfrentes al sexismo, o al edadismo, o al lookismo, o incluso al budismo realmente agresivo, hazte la siguiente pregunta: "¿Se interpone esta persona entre yo y lo que quiero hacer?". Si la respuesta es no, ignórala y sigue adelante. Tu energía está mejor empleada haciendo tu trabajo y superando a la gente de esa manera. Luego, cuando estés al mando, no contrates a las personas que se portaron mal contigo.

• No sólo sufrimos racismo y sexismo, sino también edadismo. Y es que una vez alcanzas cierta edad, no se te permite ser aventurero, no se te permite ser sexual y creo que eso es bastante espantoso. [...] Quiero decir, ¿hay alguna regla? ¿Se supone que tienes que morir a los 40?

• Ageism works in both directions. As a teenager in the public eye, people would talk condescendingly to me. When you get older there's this feeling that you have to start carving up your face and body. Right now I'm in the middle ground - I think women in their thirties are taken seriously.

• Age-based retirement arbitrarily severs productive persons from their livelihood, squanders their talents, scars their health, strains an already overburdened Social Security system, and drives many elderly people into poverty and despair. Ageism is as odious as racism and sexism.

• What surprises me is-even though discrimination against women and racial discrimination still exist, they have improved a lot, especially among artists. And just when I felt I could finally take a break, I encounter the age discrimination. I turned 72 and started noticing a drastic difference in people's attitudes. I started with racism and sexism in the beginning and fought them so hard and was finally ready to relax. Then, here comes ageism, and I feel like, "Give me a break!"

• Ageism is the racism of the gay world. We really believe that age-and all of our fears that it carries-will "rub off" on us, the way that racists once believed blackness would.

• As a young woman working in journalism, I assumed harassment and discrimination came with the territory and that you just had to get on with the job. As I rose to senior positions, it took me awhile to realise that just because I'd survived relatively unscathed didn't mean the younger women joining the profession would do so, and it isn't until you hit a certain age that the reality of ageism - which is much more acute for women - kicks in.

• Pensemos en la presión para "pasar" mintiendo sobre la propia edad, esa tentación familiar de falsificar una condición del propio nacimiento o identidad y fingir formar parte de un grupo más favorecido. Los negros de piel clara inventaron el término "pasar", los judíos que escapaban del antisemitismo perfeccionaron el arte, y el armario sexual continúa el castigo, pero fingir una edad más joven es probablemente la forma más fomentada de "pasar", con el apoyo menos organizado para "salir del armario" como el verdadero yo generacional de uno.

• Toda mi historia como mujer afroamericana, como mujer judía, como mujer musulmana. Traigo todo lo que he conocido y todas las historias que he leído: todo lo bueno, fuerte, amable y poderoso. Lo llevo todo conmigo a cada situación, y no permitiré que mi vida se vea minimizada por el racismo, el sexismo o la discriminación por edad de nadie.

• Al igual que rechazamos el racismo, el sexismo, el edadismo y el heterosexismo, rechazamos el especismo. La especie de un ser sintiente no es más razón para negar la protección de este derecho básico que la raza, el sexo, la edad o la orientación sexual para negar la pertenencia a la comunidad moral humana a otros seres humanos.

• Prejudice against womenis many, many times intensified against older women. You are viewed not as an intellect but as a body.... Astonishingly, even women's liberation has paid extraordinarily little attention to the older woman and to the fact that her job is limited because she is [older]. They say that women shouldn't be sex objects, but you damned well better be a sex object if you want to get ahead in television.

• We know longer live in a homogenous society, it is not black, white, Asian or Latin, it is a melting pot. Until we learn to assimilate and learn about other cultures, we will continue to have racism problems. Of course, there are other '-isms' as our ills. We have sexism, ageism, elitism, homophobia-ism, there are many -isms we have to overcome.
