”Jag vill inte se ut som en tonåring i stilen, men jag vill inte heller se gammal ut” : En kvalitativ intervjustudie om hur medelålderskvinnor reflekterar kring åldrande, sexualitet och självkänsla.

Leandersson, Ellie, Ådell, Alice January 2022 (has links)
In this essay we will be discussing how middle aged women have reflected upon their sexuality in relation to their age, plastic surgeries and the various beauty norms that are prevalent in our society today. We have done this through six different interviews with women within the age group 45-60. Sexuality, in this essay's meaning, is defined as the way a person dresses, talks about, acts upon and presents themselves in an attractive manner. Further we will be analyzing and discussing the interviewees answers with the help of various different theories: liberal- and socialistic feminism, erotic capital, respectability and ageism. What we have found is that although one might think that age and aging might make a woman feel insecure about the way she looks, the women we’ve interviewed have shown quite the opposite. Also, the interviewees have displayed a concern about a kind of ‘youth norm’ that has affected the way society treats and sees them. Age and aging have furthermore brought upon a new form of confidence for most of the interviewees, which differs from other found studies that have been done on middle-aged womens thoughts about aging.
