It explains that while an aged man is seen as experienced and wise - positive traits for men therefore = attractiveness, women on the other hand are expected to be naive and innocent, and therefore youth for women = beauty. I don't know if I put it right, but the book is a really interesting read. So the sexism toward smart, wise, experienced women is what causes an older woman to be judged on her looks.

Naturally the single most defining aspect of peerage is one's age group. To reserve judgement and give people their day in court in a timely manner - letting the jury decide - not themselves - is essential to preserving individual liberty. As we suffer economic decline, it's natural that we yearn for a return to the basics of what made this country great - it's sense of justice and desire to preserve liberty for all.
