Dear Look-at-Me Generation Women: Please Stop Cheapening the Brand

Story is here.

Part of being taken seriously is not making hysterical assertions such as that the current generation of women are trollops. There are women who do bare a lot of skin on My Space, et al. However,as someone who remembers the 1960's and 1970's very well because I was school age back then and subsequently spent the1980's hanging out in heavy metal clubs, girls showed a lot more skin then than they do now. You know that the bikini was not just recently introduced, right? Halter tops and hip huggers were pretty de riguer back in the 70's, and there was no shortage of tube tops, either. In the 1980's, it was spandex..

Today's young women, by comparison, and maybe it is because girls are fatter than they used to be thanks to our fast food culture, seem almost dowdy. You just about never see anyone wearing mini skirts or micro skirts which were popular in the 1960's.

I would suggest that perhaps you are jealous of the fact that the sexual environment is freer now than it was back even in the 1980's and since you are probably around my age (I'm in my 50's), you regret that you can't flaunt it like you were able to in college or in your middle 20's.

The women you talk about are a small minority. There were strippers, Playboy bunnies and Penthouse models who were members of your generation. So relax and stop being unnecessarily mean to today's women.
