That's not what I said. I said my students would be thrilled to read the group's rules for girls' behaviour, and so they would. Even highly amused. Possibly appalled, but certainly amused.
I am no authority on correct gender behaviour, but I am quite sure that I don't need to hear from you that girls should not wear lipstick, show their breasts, fuck around, or any of the other "improper" things on the list.
The thing is, there are complicated and multiple reasons why girls might behave in ways this author disparages, and none of them are adequately engaged by what's been said here. And, sarcasm aside, the general tone *was* appalling.
