what ageism is: elderly people having a high rate of abuse, especially financial abuse from family members, being blocked from crucial healthcare, the horrible state of the nursing home system, and their low quality of life

what ageism isn’t: a teen calling a 30 year old a dummy for being a “fandom mom” or ace discoursing with kids

what also isn’t ageism: people having boundaries and not wanting to date or have sex with people that are a certain age older or younger than they are. a 25 year old saying they don’t want to date a 60 year old isn’t ageism. a 20 year old not wanting to date a 25 year, or a 22 year old not wanting to date an 18 year old isn’t ageism either.
