In the Stormfront the discussion naturally got around to how owmen today are supposed to be terribly upset is some men like big breasts.
Not just if we are offenseive about it, but we are supposed to believe in our hearts that they aren’t there or we are “objectivizing women.
This led me, as usual, to a mre general point:
I am 65, and I got my sexual imprinting in the 1950s. So I like big breasts.
Women did not consider it insulting for a man to notice she had them.
In the 1940s pinups, legs were emphasized.
By the time you get my age, unless you are hypnotized by Poltiical Correctness, you get a laugh out of how Modern Opinion is a repeat a past Modern Opinion fad.
In the 1920s women tried to have the “flat look,” trying to look like boys from the waist up.
This was because until then women had worn long dresses and emphasized their upper torsos. So the Liberated Woman of hte 1920s had a short skirt and flattened breasts.
Now women wear clothes designed to make them as indistinguishable from boys as possible.
They are reacting against a reaction, which makes them just like the reaction before.
And therefore very, very Modern.
In the South of hte 1950s and before, we routinely referred to a woman we did not know was maried or not as “Miz.” Other parts of hte country considered that quaint, so they carefully used Miss and Mrs.
But Women’s Liberation, the Ultra-Modern view, insists on Miz.
I get a kick out of this nonsense.

I was just telling my daughter that I liked many of the syles of the 1950’s. We were looking at a picture of someone we knew in a magazine. While she is beautiful, if not voluptous, the clothes she had on were ridiculous. My own mother was very pretty, but petite and small. When she went shopping she would wear a dress,heels, clip on earings and lipstick, the only makeup she needed. The styles then made a lot of women of different types look good.

“The styles then made a lot of women of different types look good.”
I was a teenager during the 80’s and we reverted back to the 1950’s clothing styles to a certain degree. I agree with Shari that people in the 50’s looked better — shall I say, “had more class” than they do today?
