I get frustrated sometimes

I think there's an element of sexism in rating women in music (whether young or older) on their looks rather than their musical qualities. There are a lot of women in music who make good use of that, too. Christine mcVie is not in that category (meaning, she doesn't use her cleavage to sell records ), and I applaud her for that.

I completely agree. I think Christine is aging very gracefully and I think she looks beautiful. Certainly, the women that I know who are around 60 don't look that good. She does look older now than she did 7 years ago around the time of the Dance. That is normal. Also, there haven't been many pictures of her since the Dance ended, so some people may just be a little surprised at how she looks. They all look alot older than they did 7 years ago. Again, there's nothing unusual about that. And, I don't hear as many people complaining about the men in the band looking old, so I agree there is some sexism going on too.
