    Pretty sure you can be a swamp witch at any age you choose. But back in the day you were also shunned and ignored if you did. All up to you.

    If you want to be a swamp witch, nothing is stopping you. Just don’t get mad when a party of magic wielders, shape shifters and swordsman show up and kill you, your thralls, and take all your questionable magic items and potions.

    You don’t need permission from anyone to be who you want to be. The best part about being an adult is not associating with people you don’t want to associate with!

    Oh sure. But every time I look for a swamp witch on OnlyFans, I get disappointed and have to watch naked ladies instead.

    Kind of related but I really hate people who shame a women for shaving because they want to shave or loose weight because they want to loose weight instead

    Let people feel and look they way they want to

    Also this is a thing that’s never bought up like it’s some unmentionable taboo topic but why are men never talked about in the body positivity movement, the movement should represent people as a whole and not one sex

      I think it’s probably because women are generally judged based on their appearance more than men are, but with that said, I do agree with you.

    By the age of 50 you should have realized that society is always its own worst enemy, can never get anything right, should be mercilessly ridiculed, and otherwise completely ignored.

    When you’re old enough to realize that society is a complex entity with billions of moving parts, and each person is entitled to their own opinion, at that moment you’ll be free to live like a witch.

    If you’ve reached your 50s and still care that much about the opinion of “Society” you have worse problems than sexiness or lack thereof.

    Opinions are like assholes: everybody has one and they often stink.

    The one of “Society” is even worse: it’s generally a cross between the lowest common denominator and the opinion forming efforts of people who have that power, done for personal gain, power or even for petty psychological self satisfaction (*cough* Trump, Elon Musk *cough*)

    For example, the whole “need for sexiness” is often about selling to women the products they need to “make them sexy” (which, IMHO, often does the very opposite), the “expectation” that people have cars is about selling cars and the fuel for them, and opinions like being anti-mask are about tribalism and power through leading a crowd.

    No point in worrying about the opinion of most people out there even as individuals, much less the highly manipulated bullshit which is the “opinion” of “Society”.

      Mae West did Myra Brenckenridge when she was 77.
