Um, from the attention paid to my breasts? And the men’s obvious assumption that I should welcome the attention and explicit comments made by creeps to my 15 y.o. self?

So you have concluded that men thought you were trying to get their attention because you had breasts? That's pretty much a non-sequitur by definition.

Further, how was it "obvious" that you should welcome that attention?

Relations between the sexes in this area is touchy at best (ask Adam and Eve with their initial loincloths of fig leaves).

If someone actually TALKED about her breasts, that would be more difficult than just wondering what people thought. But it sounds like they talked.

Anyhow, the attempts of modern culture to separate sexual symbolism from marriage have only left it a worse wreck. I don’t doubt there are misunderstandings. But without the family paradigm being the overarching paradigm, there is no context in which to forge an integrated understanding. (And thus is my quota of professor talk for the night.)

Please explain your understanding of the matter, as it seems to differ so much from mine.
