I'm 25 and while I think I'm pretty and young looking, I've rarely had to deal with men treating me like a sex object. It is probably my personality, the way I dress and the fact that all my friends are guys. I've probably had strangers buy me drinks at bars 5 times, haha... I've never felt like my age. I've normally been treated respectfully, but I haven't been in too many environments where I'd be treated unequally. Even though I've never been harassed about my age(except from my older siblings) I've always been insecure about getting older. It doesn't help that I feel like I wasted the majority of the past 7 years. This article though was like a slap in the face. Why am I ageist against myself?
