Can you walk me through this? Read the last sentence in my post: It is understood that being old is in many ways a handicap, and by discriminating positively, we seek to lessen that handicap. You wrote: but it's still ageism - discrimination based solely on the age of the subjects. I disagree with this definition of ageism. Ageism is not simply discrimination based on age. If it were, then requiring people to be of a certain age to vote, drive a car etc. would also be ageist. Ageism implies injustice.
