    Chill out my dude. Saying someone is young in the context of their peers isn’t “infantilizing” anyone.

      no. first. you’re wrong it is.

      You see, people past their fifties still treat me like a child… even though I’ve maintained two steady careers- simultaneously, because fuck this economy- for nearly two decades now. I am a grown-ass adult, and you do not get to dismiss, patronize or indeed infantilize me just because I happen to have a different opinion than you. that’s just being ageist.
