Women from around the world come together to talk about our rights and lives every Sunday at 9am Pacific Daylight Time @fourthwave.youtube.

On June 21, MunibaKasi from Pakistan hosted a discussion entitled “Not Too Old For That” with a few of our regular panelists and special guest Vicki Larson, an award-winning journalist, author of “Not Too Old For That” and “LATitude: How You Can Make a Live Apart Together Relationship Work,” and coauthor of “The New ‘I Do.’”

You can find Larson on Medium at Vicki Larson and online at www.vicki-larson.com

Other people attending this week were:

• Esther Uwanah Edet from Nigeria
• Martine Nyx from Canada by way of Italy
• Neima Joseph from Boston, Massachusetts, USA, and
• Patsy Fergusson from San Francisco, California, USA

The conversation ranged from what happens to women as they age in our respective cultures, why negative narratives prevail, and what younger women need to know.

How about you? How has aging or the prospect of aging affected your life? Do you face significant social pressures due to aging? How do they manifest? We’d love to hear your perspectives in the comments, and please include the country where you grew up or the culture you are writing about.
