Keep boys naked and girls clothed. Girls should learn the boys' secret, but not vice versa.

That article is over 40 years old...

Is that real? That looks like some weird fetishists spoofed Dear Abby. If it is real, that is obscene.

Of course, the column was written in the 1970's

A very interesting relic of popular opinion from days of yesteryear. And I here I thought girls were supposedly brought up to not be introduced to sex at such a young age.

Requiring your kids to swim nude totally denies them the right to any sense of modesty. This article was written before the movement began that proposed that minors have rights.

wtf? girls need extra privacy? it should be the other way around! boys are more sexually vigorous and curious. familiarizing them with the female body in an early stage makes them less likely to be a monster/pervert/rapist. and besides, the body is something very natural. there shouldn't be so much shame involved with nudity.

So women are always pushing for double standards...

She wanted the secret/power to be with women. That is fucked up that women would raise their sons that way. Putting their sons on sexual display but the sons get nothing in return for it... that is the definition of exploitation.

Oddly disturbing.

Sounds like all the adults involved just want to see naked little boys.

Honztastic · 2010-10-22T02:29:32+00:00

What the fuck is this shit?

That's fucked up no matter what decade.

And what gender bitches about double standards? But this is pretty irrelevant now considering its age.

This. Is. Fucked. UP.

Kuonji · 2010-10-22T16:55:40+00:00

More historical evidence of womens' oppression!

Rimacrob · 2010-10-21T23:02:18+00:00

That's fucked up. The only other thing I can think of to say is, "Why?"

edit: Explain to me why it's ok for a 12, 13, or 14 year old girl to look at a naked boy of a similar age but not the other way around. Or that a parent demand their child play naked. And how a girl has the right to privacy but not a boy. Seriously, how about explaining instead of just downvoting and walking away?

ownworldman · 2010-10-22T05:37:38+00:00

Wow. Did you run so completely out of actual outrage that you had to reach back into the nostalgia file to gin some up?

Boy's "Secrets"

WTF? Women get more privacy now? Why? Why do women need more privacy, and why do men have to sacrifice ours to give it to them? Even though, some people made valid points about this being before minors had rights and such, notice how the write-in (OP of the 70s, I guess) had the sense to realize how deranged this is. The article also didn't mention if this was a man or woman writing in, if it's relevant, Abby could be bashing a man right to his face and not know it because of how sexist she is. I agree with the poster who said:

So women are always pushing for double standards... There is no reason for those boys not to have swimming trunks and those girls to. That mother is teaching her daughters to exploit men from a young age. What a fucking bitch.
