Recently, on the 52nd birthday of actress Yi Nengjing, she was attacked on the Internet and was called an "old woman". Yi Nengjing expressed her gratitude to her family in a birthday emotion article published on Weibo. However, this article full of warmth has caused many people to be dissatisfied and blamed, thinking that Yi Nengjing is old, and expressing her feelings on Weibo is a show, hype or showing off her wealth, and some people even say that she is worthless and not worthy of attention.
Yi Nengjing's Weibo birthday lamentation article sparked widespread controversy and discussion. On the one hand, there are many people who express their admiration and support for her sincerity and warmth, believing that age should not be the only criterion for measuring a person's worth, and that every age has its own beauty. On the other hand, many people have questioned and criticized her birthday feelings, saying that she is showing affection, showing off her wealth or hype. These doubts and criticisms triggered a large number of netizens to follow suit, insulting and attacking Yi Nengjing, calling her an "old woman", and some people even said that she was past her flowering period and did not deserve to be taken seriously.
This is not the first time that ageism and attacks on women have occurred. Over the past few years, similar incidents have occurred from time to time. For example, some female celebrities are called "old women" after a certain age, are labeled as demeaning, and are subjected to verbal abuse and attacks online. The common denominator of such incidents is that this discriminatory perception of women's age still exists in society, is accepted by some and is further disseminated.
This incident highlighted the issue of ageism against women. is not only an attack on Yi Nengjing personally, but also an insult and belittlement of the entire female group. This discriminatory concept of women's age affects women's social status and mental health, making women feel inferior and unable to transcend the shackles of age. This also exposes the distortion and unfairness of society's values towards women, and we need to work together to change it.
There has been no response or update on Yi Nengjing. However, the outbreak of this incident has attracted the attention of all sectors of society and triggered an in-depth discussion on ageism against women. As attention to this inequity increases, we can expect to see more opposition voices and attention and change in the issue of ageism against women.
This incident once again highlighted the issue of discrimination against women's age and aroused the attention of all sectors of society to this issue. Ageism not only affects women's social status and mental health, but also restricts women's personal development and self-realization. We need to abandon preconceived notions about women and recognise and respect their individual differences and diversity. Only in this way can we build a society that is equal, inclusive and respects women's rights.
