Pruding

There is this rising tendency online where people keep conflating literally any cultural phenomenon as being rooted in pedophilia or in some way inherently abusive or otherwise dangerous.

Weird prudishness has increased like a million percent since the early 1990s.

Reminds me of one time when I was walking out to the river with a bunch of friends in my last year of high school. It was me, two male friends, and two sisters. When we got to our destination one of the girls decided she wanted to have a swim and that we should all join her.

But we were in street clothes so I said, “But none of us brought bathing suits. Just regular clothes.”

And she said, as she was already pulling off her top, “Well, take them off. DUH!”

And she proceeded to do just that and jumped in. We did the same and had a good afternoon skinny dipping.

Can’t imagine that happening today at all. It just would not.
