I mean, it's not that bad if you don't care about seeing human trafficking victims walk around dressed as schoolgirls, drag queens waiting outside stinky motels, gringos (male and female) prostituting themselves for 20 dollars, bums, and tattooed ex-cons that look straight out of a movie with Edward James Olmos.

Movie scenes of "panty raids," stories of vending machines selling underwear worn by schoolgirls in Japan, subreddits dedicated to buying panties, and even entire purpose-built websites for panty sales all encourage us to believe that used panties are widely-sought fetish objects—detached from the context of a specific person or relationship.

This usually manifests in one of several themes: adorable, shy schoolgirls who sing about giddy crushes; knowing, empowered women who need an "oppa" (a strong older male figure) to fulfill their fantasies; or knowing, empowered women who reject male validation, even as the studio tailors the group's members for adult male consumption.

A Boko Haram insider told CNN in August the group had split after new leader al-Barnawi broke with Shekau and left with some followers, a move which the insider said left Shekau with most of the fighters in the Sambisa forest and also in control of the schoolgirls, a powerful bargaining chip for the group.

Then there are fads as recent as the turn-of-the-century "Miss High-Collar" look, when schoolgirls combined men's hakama, a kind of kimono-pants hybrid, with European boots — not to mention the heavily made-up male visual-kei rock n' rollers of the '90s, with their Labrynth-era David Bowie hair and flamboyant costumes.

African-Americans had long protested these statues, from young black schoolgirls, who chipped away at the proslavery John C. Calhoun's statue in Charleston so that it had to be put on an 80-foot pedestal, to the 15-year NAACP boycott of South Carolina for flying the Confederate battle flag on state grounds that ended in 2015, after the flag came down.

While 60s schoolgirls screamed for the Beatles in the hopes that Paul would look their way, front row punks still crawl over one another like puppies to grab their favorite singer's hand or scream into the mic, modern-day metalheads roar back at their favorite singers and fight over tossed drumsticks, and boy band fans hold up signs as they weep and sing along to every word.

I wonder when I stopped being the person who, on a school bus in 1997, argued that Puff Daddy was a strong and important MC.
