Ever get a hit of teenage angst, even after teenagehood? When I did this time, I felt called to re-watch My So-Called Life for the first time. I had forgotten that in the pilot episode, Angela is wearing a towel which covers exactly from her breasts through her genitalia. Her father is clearly uncomfortable. Angela narrates that they used to be close, and that her breasts have come between them. Later, in bed with his wife, Angela’s father laments her wearing towels around the house, especially “short” ones.

So…is he sexualizing his daughter without even realizing?

Yes. Yes he is.

Why do people have to act on their urges to be pedophiles? An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. We need to notice, not normalize these behaviors.

That’s the article. Bye now.
