Ageisms definition if we search “define ageism” is prejudice or discrimination based on age. Saying a 5 year old would be a bad theoretical physicist or that a 90 year old would make a bad NFL linebacker both would constitute prejudices based on age by the strictest definition.
Your respectfulness or lack thereof is almost totally irrelevant to if your post is ageist. I don’t see “ageism” as a very useful word anyways since my attempt to narrow the definition makes it painfully subjective.
- logicalmonster 4y ago> Saying a 5 year old would be a bad theoretical physicist or that a 90 year old would make a bad NFL linebacker both would constitute prejudices based on age the way I see it. It seems like most people would agree with your examples. Do you view this sort of ageism filter as a useful tool for understanding the world? Does the word ageism automatically imply a negative connotation then?
