Poor moral standard

THE EDITOR, Sir:
WITH REGARD to Melville Cooke's article about young and old ladies sexuality, I have to say that much of the romantic and family woes in our culture is due, from the very beginning, to a poor educational standard. Our roles are not clearly defined for us at an early age and this is why we have young women parading the streets in the skimpiest of clothing, practically selling their wares to get a man. This is why we have young and old men who think of themselves as nothing more than sexual icons, men who have nothing intellectual to offer a woman or a young "lady." Our educational and social system is entirely at fault and that includes the education that is passed on by the parents.
This miseducation continues all the way through Kindergarten, Grade School, High School and finally into the streets. For a large segment of the population, their social education doesn't come from the parent but from their peer cultural experience.
Sadly enough, with so few men developing their intellect beyond simplistic expressions like "How de daughta?" or "How de baby madda today?" it is no wonder that serious females have found it necessary to exceed men on the educational front, the homemaking front and the basic survival front. With so many men who have bought into the lowest elements of the "women's liberation," that they've failed to liberate themselves from the grasp of bad manners, cowardness and outright lack of civility and are beyond training, women must either leave them alone, throw them out, or put up with them. Women are doing it! Men are enjoying it!
With so few men taking up the spiritual aspects of life, I don't see how in the world they could ever please a woman. Pure Vitamin S (tsk! thanks Melville!) is of a deeply spiritual nature. The vitamin is like Vitamin D which needs the Sun for proper absorption. Vitamin S needs a spiritual connection, something deep in the soul. Generic Vitamin S, on the other hand, is fleeting and immature and is quickly flushed out of the system. In fact, generic Vitamin S has harmful consequences: Disease, dis-ease and devaluation. It doesn't take long for a woman on the generic brand of the vitamin to find her value diminished and she's in the thrift shop. For some unexplained reason, a man on the same supplement doesn't have his value decreased.
Without exposure to social environments which provide for the perfection of manners and the enrichment of character, the interpersonal dynamics of the sexes results in ephemeral contacts and weak or non-existent contracts, and a breakdown of the family system, such as we now have in the form of a debate of who's a lady? Firm up the men and ladies will be in abundance!
And, yes, at the end of the day, a good friend (Vitamin F) brings peace to the soul.
