That "keep your legs crossed" line was used over and over again and so reflexively and without prompting that it clearly revealed the antediluvian belief system that still exists among a great many people in our society. One might think that we have evolved past the sort of "good girl - bad girl" stereotypes and the prehistoric idea that women are a repository of evil intemperance --- at least in the modern Western world --- but we haven't. Not really. For all the alleged acceptance of workplace equality, single motherhood, divorce and women's open sexuality, lurking underneath the surface the old ancient attitudes are as strong as ever among a shockingly large number of people.
We may have come a long way, baby, but we've got a long way to go.
