[NYT article on teenage girls and younger dressing like sluts.]
Query: how sluttish are some of the fashions actually described? spaghetti-strap tank tops? Camis with built in bras? I wear stuff like that all the time. Is that supposed to be somehow worse than the tube tops I ran about in (braless) in the waning years of the '70s? Is this just another version of the "oh, we're fuckin' boomers, this shit never happened to anyone before" schtick? I mean, you want to talk about scandalous and provocative clothing rebellion among the young, check out 1918-1928 when they were running about BOBBING THEIR HAIR AND WEARING SHEER STOCKINGS !!!
