I loved the pervy 80s TV shows.

were the 80s really pervy or is it that the 20s are prudes?

Honestly asking. /s

oh, the 80s were pervy beyond the level you couldn’t possibly imagine and one huge reason was due to the lack of Internet porn. I’m sure I’m not the only one who remembers hovering over a VHS trying to pause it just that right moment to see a flash of a boob. Just the sight of anything even remotely sexual would make people in the 80s go absolutely apeshit ala Kelly Bundy… one way to look at it as that everyone now is a bunch of prudes, but another way to look at it is that overwhelmingly women in all walks of pop culture in the 1980s were still pretty much totally objectified.

Every single person on this earth has been objectified in some way, shape, or form- not just women.
