and that tide is only just now turning....

I can't put my finger on it...but I just know looking at old pictures, old music videos, my youth, etc....there's a noticeable gap in prominently seeing men in shorts for that period...
It's like some memo was distributed, or we were mass brainwashed and programmed to think that shorts were to be avoided.

Personally, fortunately, my anti-shorts phase was only briefly lived...pretty much about 5 years somewhere between college and shortly after college.

Nowadays I think I own more shorts than slacks. I definitely will wear some shorts well into the fall season if the temperature allows. And I don't even fuck with shorts that are longer than say a 9 1/2" inseem...basically if they don't stop above my knees I don't rock em.
My legs are awesome.
