This topic stumps me - I've worn glasses since I was only a few months old.

All throughout my childhood and early teen years (1980's and 1990's) I was made fun of for having to wear them. Back then the only ones available were the gawky coke-bottle dork black or brown ones - so I came to hate them pretty quickly.

The thinner the frames, the more invisible they were, the better I felt as I grew up.

I went through the late 1990's up to 2010 without anyone really saying anything about glasses to me after I switched to metal-frames. I wore tiny lenses with thin gold frames. No jokes, no making fun, just no comments. Because of my born hate of glasses I refused to wear anything more noticeable.

I wore the same frames for maybe 10 years.

Then - a few years ago, the frames broke. I had to get new ones. My husband was with me that time. Much to my annoyance almost all frames available in my price range were thick, dorky frames.

I felt stupid trying them all on - and ended up with a pair only because he insisted they look good and I really can't see well without them for very long so I didn't have much of a choice.

I hated them then - and I still hate them - I've had them for 2 years.

But strange thing - people apparently think they're attractive. I've even been given compliments.

What in the HELL happened? I went from being horrendously made fun of because of thick, black frames - to being attractive because of thick, black frames? I don't get it.

Is it just me, or do other members here find the terms "MILF" and "Cougar" derrogatory and demeaning?

The acronym MILF for Moms I Love to Fuck originated in the film America Pie as far as I know. So, in its original context it involved an underage male wanting to have sex with one of his friend's mother.

In the meantime this has somehow spiraled out as a general wishy-washy term to encompass all women over the age of 25 who may or may not have children as "second-rate" sexual partner choices. I don't know why women over the age of 30 who enjoy having sex often are somehow portrayed as "desperate", "sex-craved", "nymphos" or "wanton".

What does the world expect? Women who have brought a child into the world are supposed to be thereafter prude?

Doesn't anyone find it strange that the expression "DILF" Dads I Love to Fuck is non-existant?

The same thing goes of the expression "Cougar". Why is there a word for a 40+ year-old woman who has sexual relations with a 20- year-old male, but for the reverse situation, there is no word? No one says "Dirty Old Man" for a 40 year-old man who has a 20 year-old girlfriend. He has to be at least 80 for this to apply. And no one calls him a "wolf" or a "coyote" or a "jackel" or anything like that.

For the story category BDSM, they don't call it "Perverted Sex".

For the story category Gay Male, they don't call it "Faggot Sex".

Hence, I would like to see the story category "MILF Sex" disappear or be re-named. MILF is sexist and derrogatory, especially when there is no "DILF Sex" category.
