My most vivid memory of a prom night was the blue lights and road block from a flipped convertible a bunch of prom goers were riding in on their way to an after party. Killed one of the debutantes and generally ruined things for the other passengers.

I am so sick of the misuse of vocabulary. AT one time, a homosexual like this brat would have simply been called a freakshow or a transvestite (which would have completely described the truth).

Transgender is nothing but an attempt to use vocabulary that makes this kid’s decision to be a freakshow homosexual transvestite sound like a medical condition.

Sorry to hear that. That is a horrible memory. I ended up going twice. Once to my own and once with a girl in the class following mine. It really wasn’t a big deal and I most certainly would not have cried if I hadn’t went. I saw girls who went alone.

Girls didn’t wear pants in the 50s even when they came out to observe street racing, they wore dresses.

Pants weren’t even allowed by girls in school under any condition.

I can’t speak for the 60s since I was too busy running a business to give a damn.

From your post i’m old enough to be your father since I was married in the 50s.

I don’t have any problem with Kilts, they are accepted male dress. Evening gowns aren’t.

Well, look at it this way.

This is a guy that pretends to be a woman devoid of boobs and butt, so he can claim to replicate the lean, boyish figure of a dyke, as every Tom, Dick, and Harry can easily identify.  He's so warped (perhaps driven insane by his homosexual urges) that he feels excited that a “woman's” body looks pretty much like a skinny young male's body, lol.

Why would a real man want to touch the body of another man?  Wouldn't they like to touch the feminine form - the hills and valleys so different than their own bodies?

That's a real man's instinct, I think.  Males who are less than that will probably be driven by stranger urges.

That age comparison sounds right.

I have a photo of my mother in the early fifties, wearing jeans, with a bonnet on her head and a hoe in her hand, chopping weeds out of rows of cotton. I’m pretty sure that is the only situation in which she would have worn pants until the early seventies.

so is a gal tux a girl thing? Did the girls wearing the tuxs have other gals as their dates?

[Maelstorm]

I think people especially men as has been observed not only by the fact that criminal and deviant sexual behavior is by far a category dominated by males are potentially venerable to such behavior. Males who have been abused or do not have a father figure or have a very negative view of men are particularly venerable.

I think it is natural for men to desire women, even many homosexual men desire women-like features in their choice of partners and the reverse can be said of some lesbians. It is always interesting how black and white those who celebrate sexual diversity are on this as if human sexuality can not be warped and fantasies not be shaped when they are some of the key architects of such warping. They are very intolerant of anyone who does what is most advantageous for human organism and their heritability and length of lifespan.

As for women I like a wide variety when considering it from a purely observational perspective. I do think the androgynous look is a reflection of a warped society not that naturally thin, small breasted woman are inferior. I do prefer the fairer and more ample sex.

Thanks for the post Morgana. Looking at those more innocent times makes me feel happier. Luckily I’m able to bring a bit of normalcy to the lives of my children. It is not all lost. They want to make us think we are outnumbered but I think a lot of people would like a sense of normalcy again. Not that such a time was perfect and not flawed but it was at least a time when the shameful had some shame and good upstanding folks in the community were held in high regard and people looked down on those things that were low. They didn’t go on making excuses for the dysfunctional among them.

[Maelstorm]

And what have we for it? Nothing of value. Isn’t it strange to realize that are one time people were really disgusted by gross things and didn’t apologize for the natural reactions?

[Victoria Delsoul]

Good post.

I do prefer the fairer and more ample sex.

Indeed. That's my idea of what real man looks for.

Thanks for the interesting post. I think the same can be said about men's looks. I prefer men that look manly, rather than the boyish, ambiguous look that Hollywood usually promotes.

I'm leaving for Rome tomorrow morning so I need to finish packing. Nighty night.

[Maelstorm]

I hope you have a good trip. I’ve got a long drive tomorrow and I should have been in bed hours ago. Thanks for the interesting response.

[Mr Ramsbotham]

Let’s say he had came in full leather get up. There is no need to blur the issue. He came dressed as a girl and knew what the reaction would be. He came dressed inappropriately and he was denied access. It is refreshing that he was denied it is the appropriate response of rational school officials. Boys shouldn’t have to be told that they can not come to proms as if the are girls.

Agreed; but it's still discrimination. Not all discrimination is bad, even though we've been conditioned to think it is.

[Pinkbell]

Exactly.

“But Jeremy, those girls look hot in tuxes.”

[Petronski]

Is “Guamanians” the preferred nomenclature? I thought it was Guammy Bears.

[massgopguy]

Where does your neighbor get off telling you, a man, what defines a man? Would she do this for a person that lived as “Black”?
