>Frankly, I never could understand double standards >myself. I guess being a child of the 60's. I thought >it was wrong to let girls get away with things that >boys should get spanked for and vice versa depending >on the situation. At the same time, I thought it was >wrong for girls to be treated more strictly than boys. >Boys were allowed to do things because "boys will be >boys" and girls were expected to be "young ladies". >School dress codes were a perfect example. Boys had to >wear pants, not jeans and keep their shirts tucked in. >Girls had to wear dresses or skirts. NO pants not even >under their skirts. Tights or pantyhose were allowed. >While boys got spanked more often than girls, for the >most part a boy got paddled over the seat of his >pants. Girls on the other hand could find themselves >getting their skirt or dress pulled up and getting >spanked on their panties even in front of the class. >It wasn't considered inappropriate at the time. Even >in the media of the time, it was ok for a girl to be >spanked on her panties but boy spankings were normally >done on a fully clothed bottom. For example, The kids' >comics and comic strips like Little Audrey, Little >Dot, Nancy and so forth often showed the girls getting >spanked on the seat of their panties. But boys got >spanked fully dressed. > >I find double standards to be strange, no matter which >gender they favor. A good example is, when relating >the story about mom spanking my brother and me along >with our cousins in the department store. There are >people who have commented on that who have come out in >favor of us boys all getting spanked, but would turn >around and say that Carmen should not have been >spanked publicly like the rest of us even though she >was literally the ring leader (as was the usual case >with her). Granted, she was older having just turned >thirteen and I will be the first to admit that her's >would be the most embarrassing spanking because she >had a bigger audience than my younger cousin Jimmy and >I did. But I really don't get the comments I received >from people saying it's ok that mom spanked the four >of us boys bare but not her. Telling me she shouldn't >have been spanked at all or it shouldn't have been >public like the rest of us got. She even tried to play >the teen card, saying she was too old for a spanking >and so forth, which mom told her, "You are old enough >to know better." Using today's slang, she had an FAFO >moment. > >I had a co-worker who was from Germany once tell me >that she never spanked her daughter, but she did spank >her sons. Her logic was "Girls don't need spankings >because you can reason with them." "Boys need to be >spanked because they are boys and that's all they >understand." On the flip side. I noticed girls had >more strict curfews and weren't allowed to date as >young as boys were. The excuses were "it's to protect >the girls reputation" or to just come out and say it, >"Boys can't get pregnant." > >So while I get your point, Double Standards either way >are just wrong in my opinion.
