In warm climates during the summer, such as in California, Oklahoma, etc, yes, lots of women wearing skirts.

Guess I’m in the wrong part of the US. Little girls don’t have much exposure to them around here.

Wait, where in the US are you in? Alaska, PNW, somewhere cold and gloomy all the time?

Even in Idaho, during the summer, I saw plenty of women in skirts.

Are you saying you wish girls would wear skirts in your area more often and thus be exposed to more traditional gender roles?

Even at UC Davis, a left wing college campus undoubtedly with a lot of lesbian or otherwise butch women, still lots of women wearing skirts and dresses, because it gets hot there.

I don't know, just my observations as a straight man.

Midwest. Even the women running for office are wearing slacks or jeans in their tv ads. When you see a crowd of people, seeing a skirt is rare. Summertime, it’s shorts or slacks.

Its an age specific thing. Just as people tend to keep their hairstyles from when they are younger, women tend to keep their pants/skirts style. There's a group somewhere in the 30s or 40s that almost always wears pants. That doesn't apply to those in their 20s.

So back in the 1990s, young college aged women wore pants mostly while today, young college aged women wear skirts much more often?

Any Klobuchar sometimes wears slacks but also sometimes wears skirts in public. She's from Minnesota.

But at weddings, do Midwestern women wear skirts?

I've never been to the Midwest, unless Oklahoma counts... Which part of the Midwest are you in?

At weddings or other special occasions, most women wear dresses or skirts. It is during the daily routine skirts seem rather rare.

I am in Indiana.

Many believe Sex change surgery should be included with Health Care. What age would be the age of consent for making these permanent changes?

Is this child abuse and at what point should authorities be involved?

The content of the video does not support the sensational vide title.

Transition was not discussed.

Biden said he would end discrimination by rolling backTrump EOs. Nothing more or less. .

Yes. Not sure exactly what the time frame was, but it was around then.
