You may find this shocking, coming from me but I have developed a theory that explains most of the turmoil we have seen in this new century.
Like increases to the retirement age and the resulting riots in France, same in most other industrialized countries who have to up the R.A. to 67 from 65 because not enough children are being born to support increasingly longer lived folks like us. Increased divorces and cases of infidelity!
But a remark in another thread illuminated me! I haven't figured out yet how inflation plays a part in all this but will manage to tie it in to the subject somehow down the road.
Here's my theory: It all has to do with the demise of sexy lingerie! Yes, thank you for bringing up Victoria's Secret in THAT thread, poster whose name I forgot because I'm old! At one time men found women in lingerie greatly stimulating and even women sported it, not for men but because they felt beautiful wearing something silky and alluring.
Then came tights and cotton and "comfortable," and bedwear that now consisted of loose cotton pants and a t-shirt! Okay, draw your own conclusions, I don't dare to be too frank in this forum, we seniors can be fragile. But think about it! Childbirths down dramatically? That alone should earn a big "Duh" when it comes to the why of all this turmoil!!! Q.E.D.
