But there are fewer and fewer opportunities for boys to be with
boys and girls to be with girls. I think it's a valuable
opportunity that shouldn't be made to disappear.
Certainly, otherwise how could we hope to have any of the current
biases maintained for a few more generations! I apologize for being
sarcastic, but with very trivial substitutions, this could have been
taken word-for-word from the defense of an all male (or all white for
that matter) social club.
Perhaps you (and Doug) could expand a bit on these rites of passage
etc. and try to convince me that it doesn't all come back to plain
old-fashioned sexism. What is it that you want the boys to be doing
that would be inappropriate without blanket gender discrimination in
place?
