Since time immemorial, humanity has looked to its elders for sage wisdom. Crows feet carry more respect than an Ivy League varsity jacket. Uncle Iroh was a short-sighted warmonger before he wizened into the tranquil mentor of the banished Zuko. Gandalf was 2000 years old when he refused the ring of power, but a younger wizard wouldn’t have had the integrity. Age is a symbol of status, but it can also be abruptly robbed from you. Time and experience cannot be undone, yet; but it can be stolen with the misallocation of infantilizing pronouns. Join Mat, Veronique, and Guest – Robin Gilmartin – in the story circle, sitting criss-cross-apple-sauce, as we throw a tantrum over Calling Women ‘Girl.’
