Thank you for another wonderful piece! It's so true that men don't need courage to age, and that women should stop thinking of it that way for themselves. I've recently been learning to row a boat on the San Francisco Bay. My mentor is an 80 year old man. He's completely engaged in life, having fun, meeting new people (like me), and spreading joy. His problem with his older body is that it's less strong and flexible, not so much that it's less beautiful. He's my role model now. I hope to be as happy as he is when I'm 80. And I think I will be!
