It’s worth pointing out here that these pressures aren’t exclusive to women. As women are expected to look younger and younger, men in the superhero era are looking bigger and buffer. As with cosmetic surgery, there is no way to prove that an actor has taken anabolic steroids, for example, but those with knowledge of the limits of the male body, especially as it enters middle age, may be able to spot the signs.
Solutions to systemic cultural issues, especially ones tied so tightly to our anxieties about aging and mortality, aren’t easy to come by. But the business-as-usual approach isn’t working. The gap between those who are able to artificially stop the natural aging process and those who don’t seems to be widening, but transparency isn’t keeping pace. This lack of clarity has muddied the waters in a way that helps literally no one but hurts quite a few.
