In your article Of August 2sth.
Look to Your Daughters" you seem
20 overlook the fact that the same
parents also bring forth sons as well
as daughters. and that the best pro
lection parents can give to their
daughters is by proper upbring1ng or
their sons. All the conventional safe
guards in the world viii not protect
the virtues Of wOmauhOOd. as long
as we continue to bring up our sons
with greater liberties than we extend
to our daughters.
This sO-called double code OF NOR
ais, one steel bound for women and
the other Of rubberized elastic for
men, is the real and only cause OF a
wOman's ruin.
It takes two to make a bargain. And
a woman falls because OF the pas
sive permission society gives to the
man. 1t is the woman that reaps the
results Of the immoral oats the man
sows. not the man.
Parents forget that the free moral
standard for their sons is bound to
involve somebody else's daughters. and
that the immoral life Of somebody
else's son may involve their own
daughter.
Parents If America. II you would
protect the virtues of your daughters,
you must impose the same moral re-
strictiOns and penalties upon your
sons. Look to your sons.
