"Young people" don't seem to realize that we all send messages to the outer world about ourselves by the way we...
Most of us think that "prejudice" is something that we can avoid, and we don't want our outlook toward people to be affected by our prejudices, but it is unavoidable.
Think about all of the assumptions people make about others who are, fat, unkempt, excessively tattooed, unkempt, slovenly...whatever. What do you immediately think about a person when the first time you see them, they are smoking? Or if their car has a Bernie Sanders bumper sticker?
Young ladies (and their clueless mothers) just love to dress like street walkers, virtually daring the Boys to say anything about it. College age women get grotesque tattoos and body piercings for what reason I can't imagine. Does it ever occur to them how foolish they will look when (if) they ever grow to adulthood?
Obesity is the worst. Someone has apparently convinced the female race that if you can convince yourself that your corpulent appearance is not gross, then you are somehow attractive. Fat is gross. Period.
And for young men, the Yassir Arafat look is quite fashionable now, along with long and unmanaged hair. I can see a two-day stubble or a beard (or clean-shaven), but to intentionally look like you just forgot to shave for 5-7 days? Seriously?
Obvioiusly, I don't get it. Of course I didn't get it when men my age had hair down to their shoulders in their teens. And it's worse when they are 70...still thinking it's "cool"? Are you shitting me?
- Walk,
- Dress,
- Groom ourselves,
- Attach decorations and hardware to our bodies,
- Cast our facial expression,
- Appear to be healthy or not.
