The most recent attempt to turn back the clock may be a reaction to yet another sexual revolution: Gays and lesbians are becoming mainstreamed, women make up more than half of college populations, they re becoming full partners in the workplace and there s a general cultural deconstruction of what gender means, Zeitz says. We go through waves of progress and reaction, but you can never bottle these things back up for real.
Another explanation may be the mainstreaming of conservative religious values. Just as what would Jesus do, bracelets enjoyed a cultural moment on par with rubber live strong bands, faith-based programs like Pure Fashion are gaining acceptance in the culture at large. Most modest-clothing Web sites have religious underpinnings, from Mormon to Christian to Muslim, but attract nonreligious customers as well. Shalit is an Orthodox Jew, now married to a rabbi, and many girls she profiles see religion as motivating. Since the good girl today is often socially ostracized, a lot of girl naturally find solace in their faith in God, she says.
What makes the movement unique, according to Shalit, is that it s the adults who are often pushing sexual boundaries, and the kids who are slamming on the brakes. Well-meaning experts and parents say that they understand kids wanting to be bad instead of good, she writes in her book. Yet this reversal of adults expectations is often experienced not as a gift of freedom but a new Kind of oppression. which just may prove that rebelling against Mom and Dad is one trend that will never go out of style.
