In 1971, the small town high school i attended, started allowing girls to wear trousers to school. I noticed a certain something different,in the air. I observe historical trends, and my friend , another old intellectual bachelor, and i , have come to the conclusion, that showing off legs, sent a sexual message to boys and men. Women , during the late 1960's got sick, and weary of being sexual objects, and many just did not want men seeing their legs, anymore. Legs showing became a rare bird, since then. The town i live in , leg sightings with a skirt or dress are very, very rare, but, lots of women do wear shorts in the warm weather. No hose or heel, seen for weeks, though.
