Grumble grumble about SW age categories

This is probably just silly vanity but I resent that SW has me in the "61-69" age category. I am not yet 65, which is the traditional age of retirement and being officially a "senior citizen" around here. I feel like there is a big different between me, practically still in my 50s, and someone aged 69 who is almost seventy!

Anyone else perturbed by being lumped together with "much" older (or younger) people here? :)

@bijouxbroussard seriously? Why is that ageist or sexist?

@SW-User Forget It. You’ll understand when you’re older.

@bijouxbroussard I think if you are going to make a flippant comment like that then you really need to be able to back up your reasons, otherwise you make yourself look very silly.

@SW-User Like I said, it doesn’t matter. If you don’t get it now, you will, especially if you outlive your husband. I spell it out to you, you argue with me, you can’t see it now. No point.

@bijouxbroussard You make nasty comments and then you refuse to explain the reasons why you make them. Maybe you should work harder to develop some interpersonal skills, compassion and consideration for others. You don't know me. You don't know my journey and you don't know how I will feel or what I might do after you make your horrible comments and it's likely you won't care until one day you will be forced to learn the hard way.

@SW-User I said the comment "you’re as young as the woman you feel" is sexist because, imo, it reduces the woman to an object to make a man feel younger (which is a slap at age).
And I think that’s so when anyone says it. It’s nothing personal against you or him, for that matter. Threatening me

one day you will be forced to learn the hard way.

is an overreaction and says much more about you, to be honest.
