TikTok Influencer Sparks Debate on Double Standards of Aging

In a recent TikTok video, Fashionably Divorced, a US-based social media influencer, sparked a debate about the double standards of aging between men and women. The video, which has garnered 397 views and 49 likes, argues that women face significantly more scrutiny about their appearance as they age than their male counterparts. "Women are criticized about their appearance more than men," the author states in the video. She supports her claim by comparing the public perception of aging in male actors such as Alec Baldwin and Michael Fassbender, suggesting that men are often seen as aging more gracefully. The video's conclusion suggests that there's a double standard in how society views aging in men and women. This has led to discussions on social media about the pressures faced by women to maintain youth and beauty, and the contrasting lack of similar pressure on men. The video's message resonates with many women who feel unfairly judged on their appearance as they age. It also raises questions about beauty standards and the need for a more equitable approach to aging in society.
