Maybe it's not so bad to be called a hag...(I'm not convinced)

"… in folklore, the hag, while appearing to be the epitome of people’s fears about aging, is actually a positive archetype. 'The hag is a woman, from menopause onwards, who is not defined by their relationship to anyone else.   They are not someone’s mother or daughter or wife; they have their own power, their own way of being in the world. There is a freedom to not belonging to anyone that allows them to come to fruition in the world.'”
