On certain websites there are tips on offer for youngsters to get themselves a cougar. They use near to offensive language, and it bothered and still bothers me greatly. Now I see why I'm actually confronted with rude and wild behaviour, even from young women, that wouldn't have been possible to find only two decades ago. Somehow the norm is now changing into trying to make both the youngster and the older woman into mere objects in public. Gone is the privacy and secrecy offered of semi-private safe havens like a nice pub or night club where one could just sit and wait, it's now into the parks with a dog or join a local gym and find yourself a hungry cougar there. What the heck is going on? Are we turning ourselves all into mere commodities?
I haven't seen it much... probably because I don't go to sites with a lot of teens, foul language, talk about cougars and sex, etc... also why I am seen less and less on this site.
Same goes for daily life... you won't find me in the places people treat each other that way. If I am confronted, it doesn't take long for someone to realize it was a mistake.
As for the teens, this is why parents really do need to keep better track even though many feel it's wrong. Well,
@RogueLoner You proof my points completely, including the one on the absolute rudeness of the generation after me. So called 'third wavers' in feminism (yes, those post 1995) inherited a foothold of institutional power created by second wavers, including women鈥檚 studies programs at universities, long-standing feminist organizations, and well-established publishing outlets such as Ms. magazine and several academic journals. In expressing their concerns, however, they actively subverted, co-opted, and played on seemingly sexist images and symbols. This was evident in the double entendre and irony of the language commonly adopted by people in their self-presentations. Personally, I've never been a member of any Madonna-type-like cult nor do I want to be pressed into those by anyone stupid enough to believe nowadays (post-generation X) that it's okay to do just because it will sell. Feminism didn't do it, trust me... LAD
