Transvestia

papers, you are well aware of the sorry role the youngsters of today are playing in our society... they are the ones who have killed the concept of discipline, obedience and respect towards parents.. an attitude that persists through their teens and finds expression in the wild motorcycle rides, their contempt for other people's rights and property, their snickering poses towards ideals of home and country. They are the ones who are now beginning to burn draft cards and parade with Viet Cong flags in front of the White House. Should I go on? And still the average mother will insist on rejecting her husband's transvestism for the sake of the kids, by holding up certain premises in which she believes. Let us look at them.

PREMISE #1 A child is a tender, impressionable bit of putty who is extremely sensitive to the example set by his parents. Any transvestic display in the kid's presence will tend to stimulate him into be- coming a TV.

This idiotic premise is so false that modern educators, counsellors, psychiatrists and even the parents themselves are prone to laugh at it in private. Altough they would rather die than admit it is wrong. Children are tender? Forget it! Did you ever see one fall down the whole length of a staircase and in one minute flat recover and be outside throwing stones with deadly accuracy at the neighbors Angora cat? Or if you prefer to talk of spiritual tenderness, have you ever seen him destroying an insect limb by limb while giggling at the bug's hopeless struggle? A child shows as much tenderness as the Brooklyn bridge. Is he then impressionable? Let the parents who try for years to make the kid study and get good grades in school tell us whether their efforts have made any im- pression whatever on that epitome of stubborness. Deprive him of desserts? Next day you'll find his dresser drawer full of chocolate bars. Don't ask me how he got them. Send him to bed without supper?
