When an older woman does it she is seen as "chic" and "liberated." As someone else pointed out on here, what's with the hypocrisy and double standard.

This storyline is becoming real tiresome, but if they want to keep pushing it, then call it what it is. A dirty old woman looking to validate herself by nabbing a younger man. To prove to herself she is still worthy. I mean, that's what women have said about men in the same situation.

Haven't we also heard for years that actresses who age are aging out of so many movies ("unfairly") by comparison to older actors who can still get great roles.

Hardly. In fact, there are a lot of great roles for older actresses.

But why do so many have to do with this theme of hooking up with a much younger man.

Surely there are better parts for women out there that have some substance rather than dummying down to this same old trope.

Let's see some creativity in storytelling. Let's see some storylines where some of our great, older actresses are cast, but there isn't yet another young man involved.

We need to see women empowered through their skills and offerings as successful women. Not just their attempts at validating themselves with younger men.
