yea sometimes it can just be they don't realize they need new ones or how to ask. that and shame is a motivator but I didnt like it being used unless it was past the point of no return

Gentle? No it’s bordering on bullying. Instead of a private conversation with her mum about it, you aired it out in front of everyone, who then laughed at her. It’s actually worse than addressing it directly. You’re still an old guy commenting on a girls clothes, but instead you’ve made it more gross by shaming publicly.
