Well, certainly do what works for you. I'd just suggest considering, however, that age discrimination and age bias are not quite the same thing. ALL employers exhibit some age bias. Not listing your graduation dates help to combat this. Will they fire you because of age after hiring you? Well, that's highly unlikely. But age bias can be combated by doing a few things that take age as a factor out of the employer's head. It's the same with gender bias.
But do as you please.
