My 40-year-old wife went to buy champagne for our wedding anniversary dinner. I phoned the off licence after she left, gave a description of her and what she was buying and requested they ask her for ID. She came home absolutely beaming. It's the simple things.
@fesshole Sounds pretty patronizing to me.
@beforewisdom @fesshole I'm so glad I'm not the only one who doesn't think this is awesome!

Fetishising youth is actually kind of icky. As a 40-something woman I don't want to be infantilised, I want to be respected for the wisdom and experience I have so far accumulated.
