Is this Ageism?

Thank you all of you women who are still raising little people, and slightly larger people, who are talking about your Moon Times and your feelings and those of you raising daughters in the light of healthy bodily autonomy and self-love.
You and time have brought me fully back into the space of re-Membering all of the things I learned from my body over those years of birthing and raising and parenting and flowing.
Yesterday I sat in a restaurant and watched two young women--one with a baby and one with a 'baby on board'--connect over their shared experience of bringing new life into the world.
It was beautiful.
I also watched many older women move through the room.
And I realized something...and it's kind of awful.
Those two young women only looked to connect to each other, to talk about their shared experience with someone who was *going through it at the same time*. They had no apparent interest in those who have gone before, who have decades of that exact same shared experience.
I wonder why that is?
Is it ageism?
Is it that we've forgotten that our elders have done all of it already and have something to share?
Is that the only valid sharing can come from those who are in it in the NOW?
What are your thoughts on this?
Do you seek out the experience and wisdom of elders or do you strictly prefer the company of folks around your same age and level of life experience?
And WHY?
