I guess body issues are over

So would a significant portion of women walk around naked if it were legal to do so? Not just fringe weirdos and people who want a reality show, but, like, 20% of all females between the ages of 16 and 26? I ask because of all the chicks wearing tights in which every nook and cranny of their sub-navel bodies are revealed. I could not have a surer geography of their anatomy without carnal knowledge.

I’m not complaining, but I want to know when this happened. When did reasonably-attractive-but-still-generally-normal women reach such a level of comfort with their physical assets that they don’t mind displaying them to the world entire? Or maybe that’s the wrong analysis. Maybe mainstream society is now so hyper-sexualized that what once would have been considered an extreme sexual display is now mundane? And this degree of presentation is to the young modern female what lipstick was to females of my parents’ generation?
