Women in general have had my back more times than I can count, but women who are older than me have helped and defended me in ways that — at the risk of sounding dramatic — have completely altered and enhanced my life. So now, I wanna know: Have you ever had a moment when an older woman jumped to your defense or had your back?
Maybe you were on your period and didn't realize you bled through your pants until a woman kindly and discreetly let you know — and even offered her jacket to wrap around your waist.
Maybe you were having a rough day, but then an older woman complimented your outfit and your smile, and suddenly, everything felt like it was going to be fine.
Maybe you were a new hire, and on your first day in the office, an older woman took you under her wing, showed you the ropes, and ultimately made you feel like you belonged.
Or perhaps you were visibly frustrated while you were out with your young child, and an older woman validated your feelings and told you you were doing the best you could that day.
