Agreed with the fact that there aren't a lot of 'older' leading ladies, even while there are 'older' leading men, and that that's an issue that definitely needs to be addressed, but... age differences between men and women (a great deal of which are the men older, not the women) in relationships are pretty common?

(Anonymous) 2017-01-29 01:18 am (UTC)(link)
I don't think they're actually that common at all - not when we're talking a large enough difference to be visibly noticable (e.g. more than about 10 years).

I mean, there are plenty of older leading ladies, it's just that once they get to a certain age, they're no longer cast as the love interest.

I don't know about "plenty of older leading ladies"... They exist, but they don't really land the major roles the way older male actors do. At age 54,Tom Cruise is still the lead in blockbuster action flicks. Who's his female equivalent?

There's also a general dearth of leading parts for older women, though.

AYRT

Both you and the anon above are kinda just...strengthening my point. If there were more roles for "older leading ladies" and they were actually given opportunities to shine in those roles, maybe we wouldn't be having such a stark gender divide in terms of age-gap between love interests. One problem leads to the other.
