Moms: Please Don't Do This.

52. part of the problem

Is that kids are hitting puberty younger and younger. Hormones in the food I think. I don't recall teenage girls being built like that when I was their age.

It's pretty disconcerting in public because a) the eye is drawn to the display b) the bodies are showing every sign of sexual maturity in a way that's impossible to not notice and c) you suddenly notice the face is way too young. Hank Hill "gah!" face.

It's a complex sort of question. At the gym some women are wearing ultra-short shorts with their buns poking out. Wow, that's a little provocative. Then again, hardline Muslims would say the same thing about hair showing.

There's some complex shit going on here, interactions between the social language both genders are indoctrinated into and playing with as well as the way we choose to react.

There's a lot of social cuing at work here. Consider how it's perfectly fine to see a woman in a bikini but catching a flash of white beneath a shirt even if it's very conservative underwear is more exciting. You weren't meant to see. The forbidden or at least excluded.

We've all had our brains addled.
