"Why older women aren't afraid to tell it like it really is":
It’s amazing how easy it is for a woman in the public eye to be described as outspoken. Basically any woman who speaks at all is classified as such and if the woman is no longer a sweet young thing, then she is seen as somehow militant. The idea that as we age we mellow into state of menopausal zen acceptance is as bizarre as it is untrue.
