Oh, I know. The funny thing is how earnest they all are, how affected much of the boorishness and pettiness is. As though they expect they're supposed to believe it, but somewhere in their brains something's telling them it isn't quite right. The girls on the other hand tend to spend a lot of effort trying to write their way into excuses why they should be treated like dirt or why they or any/all woemn are bad/failures/guilty. It's kinda sad. The biggest fear literally seems to be the dreaded gayness. Boys, girls, they're all terrified they or their friends or lovers might suddenly be irredeemably homosexual.
The transition to the 21st Cent. did not hit hard enough, I think.
There's also a lot of getting celebrities out of their clothes, which I suspect they don't write for their regular teachers.
So long as I don't start using "they have hormones" like it's a stock phrase in a horror film, like so many of the regular teachers, I figure I'll be fine. I'm a big fan of hormones, me. And I think the kids are all clearly going to get out into the world and be fine eventuallly, anyway. They have to, because when I'm ancient and helpless, it'll be them that has to keep me above the rising sea levels and out of the vast hovering radiation clouds farted out of the floating cities of tomorrow. |
