    We are talking about actors, specifically Courtney Cox. Your weird island idea is the straw man in this conversation.

    The idea that she should age in a way that continues your “crush” on her or else “disappear from the public” is continuing the policing of women’s bodies that I am referring to.

      I’m not claiming agency over her like a fawning stalker… I expressed a small crush on a public figure and lamented that she had to turn to drastic surgery to remain in the limelight, when she could have just disappeared from the public consciousness altogether.
