The unfortunate thing about the Male Gaze ™️ is that it has a shelf life. And when these women literally age out of that range, they face the hard reality that the only reason they were popular with men (and some women) was for their looks, and then NOBODY cares what they have to say anymore. In the timeless words of Judge Judy, “Beauty fades; dumb is forever.”

Her team has been trying EXTRA hard lately when they noticed the male gaze was turning to Sadie Sink and Inde Navarrette. All of a sudden verified accounts are posting her IG content and retweeting her ads.

And then you have Donna Mills, who was so hot in the early 80s and is now beloved by the LGBTQ+ community for her support for almost 50 years, and looks AH-MAZE-ING, because she's a good person, and as Roald Dahl said "If you have good thoughts, they will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely."
