A reader clues me in:
Methinks Derb comes to his conclusion about female boobies by drawing on his personal biases only. Some straight men – me for instance – really have a thing for M.I.L.F.’s. If you are unfamiliar with the term, it is an acronym for “Mom I’d Like to Fuck,” popularized in the 1999 movie “American Pie.” In my opinion, a proper MILF need not be a mother per se, but no one under 36 need apply. Yes, a true MILF will still retain some youthful qualities – enough so that the Maxim “reading” demographic will still be able to exclaim “I’d hit it.” At the same time, there is a maturity of mind and body that is rare in 20-somethings and entirely lacking in the teeny-bopper crowd. Typically, a woman stops being a MILF after she reaches menopause, at which point she may very well graduate to GILF status in the eyes of some men. For an example of a classic MILF, I refer you to Patricia Clarkson, who recently appeared in Good Night, and Good Luck.
I’m grateful for the enlightenment. Not all straight men lust after barely legal teens, as Derb does. Speaking of which, this is aparently the only picture taken on Derb’s wedding day. (Hat tip: Yglesias.)
