- Oh, to be younger again.
Pop culture has a terrible habit of pitting older women against younger women (and vice versa, but to a much lesser extent). I know this because I’ve watched a lot of Lifetime movies, and as much as they’ve developed a reputation for engendering mistrust of men, a younger woman is the source of a mature woman’s misery just about as often.
Assuming you’ve emerged from your midtwenties, you’ll recall that being 26 has its pros and cons. Liza gets to have pleasurable sex with a young man who has abs and stuff (the aforementioned hot tattoo artist), but she also has to be treated like a moron by a ball-busting lady boss who’s about her own (actual) age and clearly resents younger women. And there are the pitfalls and pratfalls associated with attempting to pass for a member of a wacky, tech-savvy, hipstery younger generation. Oh, and living a lie. That’ll catch up with Liza, but not too soon—the show was just renewed for a second season.
