Age implies wisdom and experience, which I think was the point he was trying to get across. Comparing it to race is just silly.

- aianus 11y ago> Age implies wisdom and experience Age implies obsoleteness and poor health. (I can stereotype too!)

- pascalo 11y agoThe way I read it he used the age and gender info in his comment to illustrate that it would be harder for the person to get a job. Hence it being extra cruel to use the weird lingo and act like it wouldn't be hard for her.
- golergka 11y agoIt does. However, it's the matter of how strong that causation is and how hard are you going to rely on it. Because if you think that someone in their 30s is likely to be be significantly more experienced and wise, it also means that you should think that someone in their 50s is likely to be significantly burned out and slow. My point is: the correlation (and underlying causation) is there, but it's not strong enough, compared to differences between individuals.
