Women, Aging and Visibility | Kate MacKinnon | TEDxFarmingdale

[@Foxie635]

I did not realize how beautiful I was and why men kept looking at me until I aged and no man looks at me (husband included after turning 50). I am now trying to find a second career while waiting to die. I need to do something that will make the days go by faster. Sadly.

Luv1234....Slowly maintain a healthy weight as well as your outer appearance (even if it takes more than a year or two to get there). Moderate exercise not only keeps the heart healthy, it fights off depression too.

[@assassinssubject17]

what did you thing was going to happen when you get old?

[@Yolkamaene]

You'll be fine. How would you know your outer beauty unless you are destined to lose it. Look within, that's the source.

[@MB-gv3zs]

No! You have much more value now ever! You're no longer burdened by the striving to attract men, or full of anxious concerns about achieving childbearing before those years are up. Now you are FREE to really be you. Discover what you can do to impact a small corner of the world and then do it. Help those in need. Make a change. And grow relationships with good friends. Be a good friend. Life is brief but it can be abundantly rich.

As an almost 50 woman I'am start the aging process my body is not the strong as it was before in my young ages but I started a process of accepting this process and I just started to notice how beautiful is to grow older and be capable of be with your granddsons and granddaughters it's amazing trust me ❤❤

[@margaretecasey2793]

Gee whiz...I'm 72 and have never felt invisible. This does not resonate with me. I found this talk cause I'm trying to get used to my aging body.

[@michelecraig9658]

Yeah... sixty four and she seems full of B's to me.ostly because she keeps talking about her hot personal appearance. She uses all the buzz words, but isn't really saying anything. She is saying we don't want to be invisible. I am embracing invisibility as a super power -- like Harry Potter's cloak. Finally, mini mal creepy male attention.

[@Hyperborea-pr9ve]

Believe me: you are invisible. No one out on the street cares about you. That's reality at its finest.

[@wednesdayschild3627]

I love being invisible. I didn't love my heart attack at 55.

[@JeanineLaMonica_fem]

I love this video/ talk! At 48, I feel great, and I LOVE being able to get to experience getting older, not everybody does. I am grateful to see other women (Justine Bateman, Jane Fonda, Paulina Porizkova) embracing life and aging. 💚💜💙🧡

[@SkylarLibertyRose]

“For me, the fear was about getting older and being invisible.” Yes to this! So many of the women I work with have the same fear. It's valid. Learning more about Invisible Woman Syndrome is a huge help in empowering ourselves. We're not failing as we're aging - we're part of a system that sets us up to fail. But we get to determine a different outcome and that's powerful.

[@jeekakrishna]

Wow brilliant. The dark side of socializing too much and not addressing the internal struggles everyone goes through

[@JCElzinga]

if you raise a family, you wont be invisible. you will be loved

[@treacherousjslither6920]

I wish I was 20 again...

[@Hyperborea-pr9ve]

Are you denying adulthood with maturity? How childish.

[@kwoksturr9670]

I try telling these young girls out here that all the attention they're getting now is only temporary. But they still don't believe me lol

[@123pb]

Women dont like reality

[@idomalion6167]

Its a time waster they are motivated by emotions and ego. As they get older they realise that besides looks, they have very few endearing qualities. Karma

[@natashadickson4819]

She got married at 58. She did not let herself go and I'm guessing her husband is grateful.

[@babycherry8103]

Men: women age like milk, because your only value is your look and youthfulness, we don’t care about your personality and personal goals, which is why you see many men trading their wives for younger women when they CAN do it Also men: omg why do women hate men so much???? Such misandrists

I watched the entire video and waited for the speaker but I never saw one. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@mob2081]

Yes... you watched the whole video. We know that. 😃 It's not hard to get views from men... even bitter men. 😃

You're starting to hit the wall already since the age of 25.

DELUSION AT IT'S BEST.

[@blacksandee]

So tired of hearing this, only women tell each other this, do you know that most guys spend their entire lives being invisible?

[@LisaKellyLifeUnlimited]

Wow - so inspiring Kate!

[@LisaKellyLifeUnlimited]

I just looked into triathlons too.

[@gamerforlife1337]

Powerful words

[@Mrjunkyarddog44]

Fascinating how humans find creative ways to avoid reality. Oh and there’s a dude/gal in the sky that’s looking after u too. Hilarious.

[@hahahhazhhzhah]

What's even more fascinating is selfish, hedonistic people hoping that there is no God or any more powerful being than themselves, just so that they can avoid getting the inevitable consequences for their selfish actions

[@edmsing]

There can be no shame in naturally reoccurring gray hair, even though women over forty seem to think there is. There is, however, a lot of shame in streaking blond dyed hair in the over sixty age group of women who think they will never look their age as an old hag.

Terrible talk

[@GoodVideos-ry5ie]

Such a strange talk. Yes of course you are not interesting to men when you are that old. Leave men alone. Do something on your own, pursue things, join some organization. You are no longer an object of desire and you should accept that. It is not like you did not know that this would happen eventually. That is why most women get married before 30 and have a family, so they do not have end up alone in their 60s without children and grand children.

[@dezerismith7529]

Be kind, because everyone's experience in this life can be different from yours, but just because you can't relate? Doesn't mean that what another person is going through is less valuable or less important to them so give them grace, like you might need sometimes to.🩷🙏🏽

[@frankbarone4065]

Quite possibly the most boring Ted Talk I have ever listened to.
