I went shopping with my one-year-old son today. [View all]
While we were in the checkout aisle, the woman behind us was smiling at my son and appreciating his cuteness. This happens often, and I think it is perfectly acceptable. Looking at cute kids is fine.
While this was happening, I wondered if this is related to the fact many adult woman in our society are called "girls." Girls are kids, and kids are OK to watch in our society. I wonder if it is related to "Girls Gone Wild?"
What do you think? Was I just bored and over thinking the situation?
