If I hear the term cougar one more time I will literally take out a dictionary and throw it at the person! Seriously, I let anyone have it the minute I hear the term, as it's demeaning and derogatory and it shows how the world is going with as in the fall there will be a show called "Cougartown".
How can any woman allow herself to be called that, or even call herself that and think it's a good thing! Cougars prowl and pounce..
...
so 35 yrs of working hard at achieving respect, integrity and a sense of self is worth nothing by so many by "tolerating" the term.
Don't tolerate, retaliate!!!Yes, I know it's "only" a label, and a category, and I abhor any label or category..
...
as one wise woman said "labels are for cans of tuna" yet..
...
it's putting a new term, a new label on women.
Didn't we have enough already??? Not to write them all down here, but any intelligent man or woman knows what those words are.
Be unique, go by your own name not some label...
don't fall into any category, and if you hear of a term or label that offends you not just regarding this topic, but anything that you find offensive...
SPEAK UP!!! It's when you tolerate things you are doing more harm than good.
So, if you're single, over 40 and ready to date, revel in dating younger men, men have been doing it forever.
It's about doing what's right for you, in the moment, right now.
