I was watching a video for class called “Still doing it” and it’s about interviews conducted about women who are over the ages of 65 and how they still have the desire to want sex and many still do. the women and the few men that were on this video were very open about expressing their sexuality. i found that very interesting and somewhat disturbing on some levels. it good to know that you can still have a healthy sexual life even after you aged a few more years and added a number of other medical issues that you have to address, but it’s very hard for me to imagine that some of my family members that are close aged to the ones that were on the interview could possibly still want sex and even worst have intercourse. all that aside it good to know because for one we are all aging and eventually we’re going to address them but for two it’s another mark for not just women but older women to come this far in our women’s rights movement that we can openly and freely express not only our desires but also our needs as a women and as still a part of our society. our older generation could also be known as the “forgotten generation” because we as a society want to forget about them and just focus on the young and beautiful when infact that we are all sooner or later going to be in thir position one day. so why not take interest on the one thing that any of us can’t escape from, aging?

I found this article (http://msn.match.com/msn/article.aspx?articleid=7706)  about a women who earns alot of money and how for a long time she had a hard time finding someone that can really accept and appreciate her for who she is. it’s funny how it’s okay for a man to earn more money than womam but when woman make more then it’s some how seen to be shamful or something we as a society don’t accept very well. In this article, the woman speaks about an incident that happened on her first date with this guy that she was very attracted to. Long story short, but he saw her shoes and asked her how much she paid for them; in an effort of being modest she replied as if she didn’t remember. however her persisted on knowing how much these pair of shoes coast her and finally she told him it was $400. from that response he decided that she was not somebody that he would consider dating because just the pair of shoes she was wearing coast more than half his rent and surely she was too expensive for him. needless to mention these are the pair of shoes that SHE bought for her self with her own hard earned money; so why should she hide that or even feel ashamed for getting the things that she enjoys with her hard earned income? i don’t understand how women are subjected to the double standerd role in just about everything that we do. not saying that all men are against women that out-earn them as equally presented by a man who dates women who out-earn him (http://msn.match.com/msn/article.aspx?articleid=8785) however, i am raising the question on how women have to live under these double standerds that are set both by men and women that they who set it can’t even live by them.
