  1. Actually, it's "CHILDREN should be seen and not heard". She says she was told, "Little girls should be seen and not heard". You know, not EVERYTHING is for EVERYONE. But there ARE majority groupings that should be accounted for: a "mainstream" of people will have common interests/values against which the "sidestreams" must, necessarily, conflict. It's not necessary to take reality PERSONALLY!

  2. I think his analysis of the "Generation Gap" is uninsightful: the system of social structure implemented for children was extremely useful and valuable to their developement; and most benefited as intended, becoming socially and culturally integrated, and successful. The sizeable group that felt stirred to rebellion/cool does not condemn the structural system's efficacy. He's focusing too intently on this reactionary group, and too little on the effect of the larger group going forward. It's the leftist leaning toward (rescuing) the fringe, whereas the conservative position is to marginalize the disruptive influence of the "out" group for the benefit of the majority.
