One weird and specific thread that I’ve seen flow through a wide variety of tumblr conversations is that you people have no fucking idea what women in our 30s are like: you don’t know what we do for fun, you have no idea what we look like, our media interests puzzle and frighten you and the whole vibe is that every time you find out a woman is over, say 33, you gasp that a wizened hag has again managed to slip in among you.  Surely she must be a secret immortal or a terrifying ghoul. 

Things a 30 something woman can do that are suspicious according to tumblr:

• Enjoy hip youthful things like currently popular bands, movies, cw tv shows, etc
• Enjoy things from her own youth, e.g., Harry Potter, Sailor Moon
• Enjoy square adult hobbies like pintrest crafts and candle collecting
• Enjoy odd adult hobbies like doll or dollhouse collecting
• Have the body of a woman who has given birth to children, or the face of a woman who spent her youth in the sun
• Have the body of a woman who does yoga and the face of a woman who wears sunscreen and has good genes.
• Talk about her pets, especially if she has no kids
• Talk about her kids

And once you get over 40, you become a cryptid.
