On a recent trip to the DC Mall, I observed tons of young women dressed for hunting bear. They were displaying their wares in a manner I have missed for a long time.
They were wearing dresses..... not jeans or shorts or other such, but feminine looking short transparent clingy dresses. Some change is definitely afoot. It looked to me like they were touting their femininity to attract a guy.
Perhaps not so much because they want one, but because the attention feels good.
