    I don’t think that joke was about women’s looks or even denigrating to old people, I think it was about highlighting the inappropriateness of people that old still working. I feel like the joke was kinda analogous to a joke about toddlers running a DMV, which would not be a joke denigrating toddlers.

      Yes, that was what I was going for. I wouldn’t ever call an old lady ugly, so I didn’t even see how my comment could be misinterpreted. In hindsight, I think I should have quoted the “ancient” bit from the comment I was responding to.

      Thanks!
