Martha Stewart, 81, is the oldest woman ever to be on the cover of Sports Illustrated’s swimsuit issue.
The issue has long been criticized for sexualizing women, especially older women.
It's harder for older women to look hot by current standards, which demand they look youthful thin with perfect skin, perfect hair and perfect hair.
Most older women don't have the combination of money and genes that helped the 81-year-old look so good-.
We’re hot for other reasons than looking good in a swimsuit. We’re hot because we’ve lived some life, and it shows on our faces. And it wasn’t until we got to be old, when that other kind of hotness went away, that we finally got to see that we’re hot for who we are, not how we look.
