These Kids Today
This article in CSM about modest teens having trouble finding clothes that cover their assets, and the discussion of it here got me thinking: The guys in college today have it incredibly good.

There wasn't a lot of skin tight stuff back when I was in college. If I think about it, it seems like most of the girls I knew were wearing some version of party favor sweatshirt or T-shirt that was likely an L or an XL. At the gym, at best, the girls were wearing spandex biking shorts covered by a large T-shirt of some kind. There just wasn't a lot of skin back then.

Now there is plenty of skin, but in many cases it is better left covered. I go to the gym here on campus at U Va. and I see plenty of girls who I would describe as "flanky", you know the girls that have a lot of back and side fat and aren't too shy to let it hang. I don't know if that is a good or a bad thing; I suppose it's healthy to have a positive body image that would allow you to do that, but it's not really aethetically pleasing--to me anyway.

I've read articles that this trend has peaked and clothes are reverting back to more modest styles, so maybe we will be seeing less of this.
