    We are old here on HN; we grew up when women's clothing had revealing sensual low cut tops and prim and modest bottoms hence all this boob commentary.

    Everyone younger than gen-x grew up when women's clothing involved wearing like five layered tee shirts and a baggy sweater and skin tight yoga pants showing camel toe on the bottoms; its flipped, such that now women's tops are modest and covered and mysterious whereas they get the full visual gyno exam on the bottoms.

    Go to images.google.com and search for 1990s fashion and you'll see bare skin tops of boobs in low cut skin tight shirts and baggy pants or skirts covering up everything below the belt. Search for 2010s fashion and you'll see baggy sweaters and semi-transparent camel toe. Search in the interval in between around "2000s fashion" and you would expect a mix, but instead you get just awful looking stuff along no theme at all just a sort of "wear anything no matter how bad it looks".

    This fashion change even extends to the gym; when I was young I was gazing at young ladies in skin tight sports bras and baggy sweatpants, last week at the gym it was multi-layer baggy tee shirts and transparent skin tight yoga pants.

    The point I'm making is guys over 40 or so are going to giggle about boobs, whereas guys under 30 or so are going to giggle about camel toe.

    So old and senile that we keep forgetting this isn't Hacker News! It's... ummm.... It's... It isn't Hacker News. Senile. It's, umm, Pipedot.

    Now, where did I leave my spectacles? Ah yes. What were we talking about?

      Shit I've turned into one of those old people who shout out random descendant names instead of the correct names, except for websites. Well, the rest of my post was better thought out.
