Loading... Girls and Sexby Wardell Pomeroy
   Banned Books Week 2014 (268) No current Talk conversations about this book.  maybedog | Apr 5, 2013 |   "Much as feminists may deplore it, appreciative whistles from strangers on the street or from passing truck drivers are trivial. The feminists argue that such behavior degrades women by making them sex objects, but this has been so through recorded history. But half-joking sexual advances from a girl friend's father may or may not be another matter. If he puts his arm around her from behind and presses on her breasts, or strokes her buttocks affectionately, or likes to put his arms around her, it may be a hardly concealed sexual advance, but since it's done in the presence of other people. it's not necessarily dangerous. If it's done when the two are alone, however, warning signals should, and probably will, flash in a girl's mind." I've heard the book has a lot of good things to say as well, but an edition as recent as 1991 with a passage such as this is not worth my time. maybedog | Apr 5, 2013 | no reviews | add a review
