[QUOTE="dreamer, post: 19957, member: 1697"] I do remember in the 60s us girls at my school were NOT allowed to wear jeans or even slacks at all. We HAD to wear dresses. And any of the girls who dared to wear pants at any time was called a "hussie" Then when my girls were in earlier grades in elem school, I got a letter from our school, our girls were only allowed to wear dresses on the one special dress day per month. The school felt dresses were "inappropriate" As for becoming sexually active, sadly my mom was 15 when I was born, and my cousin a girl had a child by 14 and her brother fathered a child by age 13, and had 3 kids by 18 (with the same girl, whom he married), then died in a car accident by age 20 (he was coming home from work, a drunk driver hit him). That was in the late 60's early 70s. In my school we did not have school dances till HS. My kids elem school now has dances. BUT their idea of a dance is a lot of line danceing and group type dances etc, not really pairing up of girls with boys. When I was in school we had classes where we were taught to do all these things at home to please our husbands. Like um...feed kids before your husband gets home from work, do not greet your husband at door with complaints, freshen up before husband is due home. <sigh> as if our sole purpose in life was to please our men? I do hafta say I think our society is getting better with that somewhat...... But it sure is not really all so new. [/QUOTE]
