My nephew talks about new games, pretty girls, and typical teenage stuff. My son, on the other hand, talks about local politics, condos vs. fee simple, the need for vouchers in MCPS as it declines, the imbalance of demographics, how the middle class is shrinking so fast, and what can be done about it. It’s just so annoying—like, go outside, talk to a girl!
And the worst part? He’s conventionally attractive, so girls do want to talk to him. But he says things like, “They dress too much like streetwalkers.” Like—what?? How do I fix this? I always have to ask him, “Are you 50?” just to get him to shut up.

There is something wrong with anyone, 16 or 50, calling others streetwalkers for their attire.
Address treating others with respect.
Some people don’t deserve us to respect their poor decisions. He is calling a spade a spade, and I’m all for it. Dress better. It is not something innate to the person, which would be wrong. They choose to look like that.
If you are a woman, figure out why you hate yourself and do some work.
I am a woman and not at all. I respect myself far too much to dress like a skank.
