Don't worry, Mr. Donnelly...just direct your sons to the 6 Best Sets of Real Breasts in Hollywood link until their gayness passes.

As some who got his ass kicked a time or two in a public school toilet, I have to agree. Even getting beat up by a magical creature wouldn't have helped much.

We swam nude in boy's gym class in the public high school that I attended. Instead of Swimming, they should have called it Intro to Social Nudism. And we begged and pleaded for the teachers to make that module co-ed, but they never did.

Which leads to another issue: Tim's boys "Rod" and "Todd" are afraid to get nacht in the presence of teh gurlz? Srsly? I mean, these ARE adolescent boys that we're talking about here, right? Doesn't sound like any guys that I went to school with. Or me, for that matter.

You didn't play dodgeball? Using grippy basketballs that had been so firmly inflated that dribbling them would have damaged the gym floor?

And yeah, we always showered afterwards, to wash away the tears.

I didn't know any boyz in my high school who would have minded being ogled by teh grils. They would have all been like, oh yeah! Bring. It. On!! [High fives & naked chest bumps.]

"Hey, babe, look over HERE! Woo hoo!!" "No, no -- over HERE! YEAHHH!"

<i>The right to privacy enjoyed by every student will be replaced by the right to be ogled.</i>

This falls within the classic OH MY GOD THINGS THAT MEN ROUTINELY DO TO WOMEN MIGHT NOW HAPPEN TO MEN THIS SHALL NOT STAND, MAN panic.

Always good for a laugh.

At my secular, progressive school, the boys swam naked; the girls did not. (Classes were segregated by gender, yes.) I never understood why.

I would have preferred to swim naked because the girls had to wear these insanely awful wool(!) bathing suits that had stretched so badly that they were tied on at the back, to insure (I guess) that no boobage slippage would occur. Which was odd considering that we showered nekkid. What were we hiding? This meant that one could not pee once one was tied in. Now add the whole jumping into cold water thing...

Yeah, none of it made the slightest sense. It was somehow all about the Terribleness of Female Bodies, but exactly how was a mystery.

And how, exactly, did his kids <em>learn</em> to be horrified at the thought?

The legislation gave their dad yet another opportunity to embarrass them publicly by taking "a brave stand" ?
