> i don't envy them, to have their only or at least most emphasized value stripped away slowly. can the same be said of most men? intellect doesn't dwindle so sharply, and in many cases a virtuous character will last forever... but what of beauty? but there's literally nothing stopping a woman from being a brain surgeon or a physicist. they can achieve every single mental feat a man can. they also get to be literal fucking rockstars from the time they're 14 until they hit late 20 and maybe a lot longer if they take care of themselves. there is no coping with this. it's a fantastic deal. the fact that it doesn't last forever means nothing. consider two boys, one of them inherits a fortune and blows it all in 10 years partying and plowing the most beautiful women in the world. by 30 he's in the same position as the other guy and the party is over. would you really pity that guy, or would you be insanely jealous of the life he got to have.
