<div dir="ltr">Dear Miha. teal,<div><br></div><div>You approach aging from a metaphysical, intellectual point of view. Whereas, aging/dying is a series of losses. When you arrive at your last loss, you die. This is interior, subjective, not analytical or metaphysical, reality of death, whether you are a man or a woman, an animal or human. The individual himself/herself, and others (the individual, family, culture, social institutions, economic system, in that concentric order) can either ease and compensate for that inexorable process or add to its misery and speed it up. The final step is always the same.</div><div><br></div><div>If anyone is interested in how this process occurs, we can discuss it here.</div><div><br></div><div>Ciao,</div><div>Murat</div><div><br></div><div>If <br><div><br></div><div><br></div></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Sun, Sep 29, 2019 at 2:25 AM Miha Colner <<a href="mailto:miha.colner@gmail.com">miha.colner@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left-width:1px;border-left-style:solid;border-left-color:rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">----------empyre- soft-skinned space----------------------<div dir="ltr"><div>Dear Alan,</div><div><br></div><div>thank you for your response; it is obvious that people of age are often the subject of caricaturing and laughter; the things which are expected from elderly such as being wise and calm are probably even more frustrating; as Simone de Beauvoir noted in her book 'Coming of Age' that the society finds anger of old people unacceptable while the anger and violence of children and youth, for instance, is tolerated. Therefore the anger that you mention is rarely (publicly) expressed.</div><div><br></div><div>I guess people, when they are young and/or middle aged, don't think much about the old age; this period seems very distant and alien. I am 41 and I can only observe the situation of elderly from a side but I guess one doesn't have to be of age to think about old age. However, in these cases the perspectives are probably very different.</div><div><br></div><div>I am glad to hear that there is anger expressed for being discarded as useless, or as you expressed yourself that older people have "nothing to offer" anymore. This is probably based on the idea of inter-generational struggle.<br></div><div><br></div><div>There is an inevitable struggle going on between different generations. Both sides have it right: younger generations want their place under the sun and tehy have to take it by themselves - to gain recognition and claim the positions of power; older generations have to claim they are not useless yet. Positions of power are always taken from previous/older generations and youngsters are always sure that they have to wait to long to get there and people of age often think they are dismissed and excluded too early. These are fundamentaly opposite positions which are inevitably intimate and embeded in one's own position.</div><div><br></div><div>But it is very rare to find an equilibrium or let's call it inter-generational cooperation where older people share experiences and younger are being gradually prepared to take their roles. Let's take leading positions as an example. In the place where I live (Slovenia) there is a habit that leading roles in institutions (academic, bureaucratic, art, culture) can last endlessly - it is not strange to have the same director of a museum or a professor at the academy for thirty and more years (over that time one actually becomes seemingly irreplaceable) and over that time directors/professors can create a complete mechanism of power which extends to control of their heirs. So we have a joke about the principle where professors or directors always hire dummer assistant who would never challenge them and that this cycle is broken only when, after few rounds, the assistant becomes so retarded that, when he/she takes over the power, doesn't notice that the next assistant is actually wiser... and then the cycle brokes and starts anew.</div><div><br></div><div>But as I said the anger of younger generation that wants to claim power is considered exceptable while anger of older people is not. I agree that a big part of that stigma comes from mass media and popular culture. It seems there is a huge burden imposed to people of age: coping with the notion of uselessness, decreasing power and strength and expectation that they will always be an old wise men, content, understanding and in constant "state of zen".</div><div><br></div><div>Anger is a good perspective; thank you!</div><div><br></div><div>Miha<br></div><div><div>

<p style="margin:0px;white-space:pre-wrap"><br></p>
<p style="margin:0px;white-space:pre-wrap">I remember in 2010 when Annie wrote about menopause and sexuality. I was struck by her anger that no-one ever told her/us that it might be that way. </p>
<p style="margin:0px;white-space:pre-wrap"><br></p>
<p style="margin:0px;white-space:pre-wrap">The anger alerted me to something very important.</p>
<p style="margin:0px;white-space:pre-wrap"><br></p>
<p style="margin:0px;white-space:pre-wrap">It hadn't occurred to me then that my aging body-chemistry could permanently change the way it feels to be alive, and in relation to other people...which it does. </p><p style="margin:0px;white-space:pre-wrap"><br></p><p style="margin:0px;white-space:pre-wrap">And that if it could, that it might open up whole new dimensions of relating and resonating with the world, whilst leaving behind others. It does. </p>
<p style="margin:0px;white-space:pre-wrap"><br></p>
<p style="margin:0px;white-space:pre-wrap">It also hadn't really dawned on me how much of my place in the world was made out of something like sexuality, and therefore narrated and shaped by a mess of political social construction.</p>
<p style="margin:0px;white-space:pre-wrap"><br></p>
<p style="margin:0px;white-space:pre-wrap">This is a very difficult topic to be open about on a personal level...another layer of the machinery of patriarchy that determines women's identity and role in relation to the institution of the family (rehearsing an old Christian line here I know) - of women's best destiny lying along the continuum of innocent girl, through sexual creature and nurturing mother, to kind grandmother, to scary crone - with sexuality confined to sexual creature and mother segment. To step off this line is still to invite blame, shame and harm in so many many places.</p>
<p style="margin:0px;white-space:pre-wrap"><br></p>
<p style="margin:0px;white-space:pre-wrap">And as with many feminist questions, much of the delicate work of confronting and rewriting the given narrative to match a living experience that breaks oppressive and unjust constraints, has to be done first, in private, to avoid exposing and betraying the personal trust of our closest friends and lovers. Our shared experiences cannot automatically be used as subject for public examination.</p>
<p style="margin:0px;white-space:pre-wrap"><br></p>

I'm not sure if you were claiming that my remarks, insofar as they

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm" lang="en-GB">When McKenzie asked about
ageing and Sandy answered I felt unease. I thought my own experience
not relevant for the context and so I didn't react. Also I needed some
distance to check my feelings and to see if this wasn't an
only personal issue. So I wrote Shu Lea and talked with friends.
<br>Thanks Shu Lea for inviting me to try to express myself. <br><br>
My reaction is not about “us” older people – we
find our ways - it is for the younger ones (as the 18 year old
McKenzie) so they will have a more diverse image of what might come.
Sexuality in old age and ageing in
general are subjects that are not treated seriously. Ageing can be
hard and we should be openly talking about it in detail. Ageing is
also beautiful, yes, but not only ….<br>We all have our own
stories, our own way of dealing, enjoying and mourning about it.</p>

After rereading Sandy's reaction to McKenzie I saw she was more subtile
than I
first thought, so why was I angry? Probably because hers was the only
reaction to McKenzie's question and it was confirming “main
stream” ideas I see too often in popular media. <br>“Sex after
60 is still good - it's impossibility is a myth - there are simple
solutions for vaginal dryness and erection and ejaculation problems -
but you need to take care, to keep it going, to learn how to keep it
up ….. “. <br>Why should I do that? Why?
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0cm" lang="en-GB">For me it feels as if I
would have to conform to an unwritten rule. Sex is about penetration
…..</p>Is it?<br>Not for me, at least not
anymore. There is something “fake” about suggesting it is. We
need diversity in the discourse. There should be more stories …
<br>Life didn't go on as before and media shouldn't
pretend it should / could. It doesn't! And we shouldn't punish
ourselves with “false” ideas.
<p style="margin-bottom:0cm" lang="en-GB">For me life became easier
- I am now 65. Getting older means going to the important things, not
being bothered anymore, but still, I am confronted almost daily with
thoughts and things not possible anymore. I doubt what is normal and
what not, I resist, I give way. I fear the loneliness coming - I
choose not to have children. <br>Sexuality for me is affection,
tenderness and bodily sensations and that can still be terrific
(great and terrifying at the same time), but it is completely
different from the hormone influenced frenzy, athletic activity it
was before. So why call it still sex?<br></p> <br>

performance, when I looked at my naked body. I see this body every
day in a mirror, but the video image is not the same as a mirror
image – there was no head, no action going on, just the body to
look at. It took time to overcome my personal aversion to my own
ageing body, to accept the breathing image, to accept its reality, to
let the video live as an independent object showing ageing, a tender
