SEX EQUALS SALES

As one who spent many hours in airports awaiting flights this past month, I speak as a person watcher. And while watching passengers rushing to catch a flight or relieved to be almost home, I noticed differences in fashion.

Men wore baggy trousers, young men especially wore baggy clothes. Older men often wore jeans - never tight - while many men still adhered to business suits. I tried picturing these same men in tight pants or imagining their underwear as we were encouraged to do in Toastmasters club when training to speak before a large crowd. But I am as conditioned as the next person not to expect men to reveal too much. I appreciate broad muscular shoulders and tight slim butts so I thought it would be nice to see some.

At a castle in England, an archer demonstrating marksmanship in the 15th century, wore a codpiece which is a sack designed to hold the scrotum. People surely go through strange clothing designs reflecting attitudes.

Women in the airports displayed clothes that were the opposite. The younger the woman the tighter the jeans or skirts. Every delicate shape of the feminine body was revealed, as well as lines of panties and bras. Is this because that type of clothes is all women have to choose from?

I marched many times insisting that women should be able to dress any way they chose and not be raped.

Now we are liberated, right? Right!

So why do women display their sexuality? Why do men hide theirs?

Let me have a some psychology here.
