The CC has always been there, throughout time. difference is that in the modern age, its almost encourage to ride it whereas before, you were scorned.
there is no age related cut off point for the CC either, it isnt accessible only by young women, when a relationship or marriage ends, its easy to get back on, after all the ride is free and its almost expected.
Ive seen this time and again with women at work, they might not be getting gang banged every night, but they have men lined up ready to fill that void when they feel the need. the number of times ive heard how the girls went for a night out, and so and so dissapears for an hour every time we go out, and never comes home in a cab with us...stories.
The CC is there, it is what it is, they may have stopped riding it, but if they feel the need to, and many will, they will ride it
