Sexism, Racism? Let’s talk about Ageism!

“It’s not being women that makes life harder for women – it\'s sexism. It\'s not loving a man that makes life harder for gay guys – it\'s homophobia. And it\'s not the passage of time that makes getting older so much harder than it should be – it\'s Ageism. In this episode listen to Ashton Applewhite, an author and activist. Lively, funny, and deeply researched her book - Chair Rocks: A Manifesto Against Ageism, traces Applewhite\'s Journey from apprehensive boomer to pro-ageing radical, and in the process debunks myth after myth about late life. Whether you\'re younger or getting older, this episode will shake you by the shoulders, cheer you up, make you mad, and change the way you see the rest of your life. Let\'s begin your journey for the age pride! P.S.
