Ethical Language Guidance

Gender History

Beauty and anti-aging industries have systematically targeted women, framing aging female bodies as problems to solve while aging male bodies are normalized as distinguished. This marketing bias has created gendered social pressure and economic exploitation.

Inclusive Usage

Use age-neutral language when discussing appearance ('mature skin' vs. 'anti-aging'). When discussing aging populations, avoid gendered stereotypes about capability or desirability.

Inclusive Alternatives

["maturing","seasoning","developing"]

Empowerment Note

Women have led longevity research and gerontology; acknowledge that aging women continue to contribute significantly to society and innovation.
