I'm 31, but I'm told I look under 25, probably closer to 20. Most people would think that's great except, as a man, it isn't. I'm convinced, as a rule, men don't start to get taken seriously by society/your job until you're perceived to be at least 25. You don't REALLY start to get taken seriously until about 30. Women, on the other hand, get taken seriously as soon as their late teens. In a healthier society (i.e. traditional) this would all be perfectly fine and dandy, and as it should be, BUT... Now that we've forcibly inserted women into the professional space that used to be all men, young women get taken a lot more seriously than their same aged male counter parts and the traditional masculine professional world morphs into the fee fee world of females in about 2 generations and now we have clown world.
