How I wish I had a time machine today.
I vaguely remember in the mid seventies of my teenage days hearing that feminism would mean the end of girls wearing skimpy clothing. Women would no longer be the "subject of objectification" and would no longer have any need to attracted men. Therefor they were going to wear overalls, have short hair, grow hairy armpits and get as fat as they liked because, just in case you missed it, "We have no need to attract men" (yelled at you by an ugly short haired woman through a megaphone).
That was 40 years ago. Well, today I went into my city which is just an typical mid sized western city. The weather here was about 30 degrees C (say about 85 F) but fairly humid. It must have been the annual slut convention because everywhere I went I saw mainly teenage girls wearing ridiculously tiny ripped-off denim micro shorts and tops that basically seem to sit on their tits and bounce around as they walk. These girls represent the second generation born after the new wave of feminism that exploded in the late sixties.
Imagine taking a feminist straight from a feminist protest rally in 1972 and dropping her in a modern street today. She's be expecting that by now, the typical teenage girl would be wearing overalls, short haired and without any kind of bodily adornment would be busy studying Marxist theory in between tending the vegetable garden at the all female commune. She'd be in for a shock.
I would guess that the need to attract men has become far more urgent than it was before feminism because feminism has given women a very bad (but deserved) reputation. I mean, a prostitute can hardly insist that you spend weeks taking her out to expensive places and put up with her inexplicable mood swings etc before allowing you to even touch her! She's got to drop to her knees and open her mouth the moment she's paid or you'll go round the corner to the next hooker.
How ironic that the end result of feminism is that men are the ones becoming disinterested in attracting the opposite sex.
