I think its great to raise children without all the "body/shame" issues that are so common in this culture.
I am absolutely in favor of it.
But the combination of male sexual drives and certain SPECIFIC types of situations absolutley bear closer scrutiny...
If its nothing... then great.
But if its something, and you didn't even look into it....
Parental repsonsibility does not END at the point of personal ideology.
You are the steward of your child's freedom of thought.
You must not let ideology blind you to peril. |
This is a fine present to give to your son. Mom can bathe with you son and that is OK, but I can 't bathe with your sister Sally because all I am like all men and have "male sexual drives."
You don't think women don't have sexual drives and just as strong? In recent years the number of female teachers seducing high school boys is about even with the number of male teachers seducing female high school students.
The difference is that 30 years ago, the 16 year old boy was the school hero for bedding down that 24 year old new female teacher. Now we are beginning to see it as what it is, no different that a 24 year old male teacher seducing a 16 year old. Of course the seducing can go both ways. It is always the adult's responsibility to show caution. when caution is thrown to the wind, it is always the adult that gets the greater blame no matter what gender as it should be.
There is a another problem with your logic, you compared one gender bathing and the other gender showering. The context should be the same in order to make a valid comparison.
