i think you will find that millennials, particularly, are not going to bother themselves excessively with this. they have far greater problems to attend to.

as for the rest of us, i have always wondered why so many women are so easily led into "fashion" whether it is clothing, appearance, or even manner of speech. my main culprit is "society", not only having pressured women into specific parameters but having allowed this malignant attitude to fester throughout. you can see it in western movies - the "child-woman" whispering in a baby voice - even jacqueline kennedy felt driven to speak in that supposedly appealing way. and then there's bollywood, which has its own particular set of criteria for female beauty, charm, etc. and in all of this, women have been complicit.

here's an idea: why don't we women stop paying attention to the frequently unsubtle "wishes" of men, and instead pressure you men into adhering to our standards for a few hundred years?

the point i am making is that people should leave one another alone, let them be what and how they feel comfortable. seems to me that this concept is very sparingly applied in some parts of the world.

and in case anyone looks at the root causes for this behaviour - namely the drive for biological reproduction - think about this: there are far too many of us. a hiatus in reproduction, at a much lower rate than usual, can only be helpful.
