💨 Abstract

The article discusses the ageist comments received by TV presenter Ulrika Jonsson after a podcast appearance where she talked about her struggles with trauma and addiction. Despite her openness and vulnerability, much of the social media response focused on her appearance, criticizing her skin and age. Jonsson responded by embracing her natural look and rejecting society's absurd expectations of youthful appearance. The author argues that society's obsession with looking young is damaging, especially for women.
