What does "society values" mean, though? These women in their 70ies supposedly don't care about being attractive. So the only thing that matters is could they get decent jobs if they were unattractive. They supposedly don't care about societies evaluation of their attractiveness anyway.

And we were talking about "pressure to be attractive". What form does that take. What happens to you if you are unattractive?
