Heteronormative patriarchy’s designated shelf life for cisgender women is the age at which we cease to be its walking incubators. Patriarchy’s Map of Life for us women 50 and older delineates: a Hiking Trail Into the Kingdom of Shriveling Up and Fading Away. Upend that shelf! Tear up that map! It is because patriarchy recognises our power as we get older—recognises that its hold on us grows ever more tenuous—that it determines to diminish us. Refuse to be diminished! Become a giant.
