It was not the boys but the girls, our sweet little baby daughters, who were leading the fight for sexual freedom. Without pregnancy or VD to hold them back, they were asserting their sexual equality—and with a vengeance. If you looked on the dance floors of the 1960s, it was our darling daughters who were making those wild pelvic fucking motions. The boys just stood there, clumsily gyrating and drooling, waiting for the girls to work themselves into a state of horniness and drag them off to bed. It was our daughters who blew the double standard to smithereens, who destroyed the cult of virginity by the simple means of equating it with leprosy. It was the girls who had their ears pierced, stopped wearing makeup, discarded brassieres and girdles, showed their thighs and asses and tits with bikinis and microskirts and see-through blouses. They memorized the Kama Sutra as though they were cramming for a final exam, and then insisted on practicing and perfecting the arts of love. It was the girls who saw through Holy Matrimony, saw the way their parents really lived, the droning boredom and the lovelessness. The girls had our number; with all our fooling around, with all our suburban sexual sophistication and promiscuity games, we were still uptight puritans.
