Ageist Gender Parity
by Miki Saxon
Hey guys, are you doing your all to optimize your existence?
Success, money and disrupting an industry just doesn’t cut it anymore.
“Optimizing” is the male version of the same techniques women have been forced to use for decades to avoid being labeled old, AKA, unhireable.
Of course, old is relative.
The stretch number used to be 30 for women and no top for men.
While aging out for women hasn’t changed much, men’s has dropped like a stone, especially in the rarified atmosphere of Silicon Valley and other tech environs.
So what’s a guy to do?
The same thing women have been doing for decades.
These men are turning to procedures like Botox, fillers, laser treatments, and radio frequency microneedling, a technique that stimulates collagen and rejuvenates the skin. In some cases, they’re going under the knife for eye and neck lifts, according to the Post.
Who would have thought that any form of gender parity in tech would be driven by rampant ageism?
