So as long as we're on the subject and everything, here's what's been bugging me: why is it that in movies and TV shows, guys invariably cock their head to the side when looking at a woman's rear? Have you ever noticed that? It never fails - if you need to signify that your male lead is entranced by the hard-to-get love interest's derriere while she sassily struts away, he's invariably gonna do the head tilt. Who determined that was going to be the universal signal for ass gazing? It's reached the point where we don't even think about, we just automatically accept it; I've even found myself (back in my single days, of course, dear) doing the tilt while appreciating, in a completely respectful and non-sexist manner, the keister of a passing girl. I mean woman. I mean womyn. Damn!
Anyway, my point is, I've done the same thing, but then I stop and think: What am I doing? Is a 37 degree neck pivot going to help me more fully appreciate the majesty of these hindquarters? If I get the angle just right, will I spontaneously manifest the ability to see up her skirt, as if by magic? (No.) Or am I just doing it because it's what we always see people doing on TV?
And, of course, the answer is yes. Seriously, why do we do that?
