Are dolls related to promiscuity?

Question

I read in this one Miss Manners article on MSN a couple months ago, and there was a woman wondering if the fact that her young daughter would choose a favorite toy for a few days, then pick another one to favor, would mean should would be promiscuous when she got older.

I can't remember the response. Anyone know?

Answer 1

I've not read that Miss Manners column.

But I'll add my two cents.

Only if the dolls in question are of the inflatable variety.

Answer 2

No, sounds like it's about having multiple friends.

Answer 3

I HOPE Miss Manners told this woman that girls become promiscuous as the result of neglect and abuse by her parents...that this behavior is the DIRECT consequence of poor upbringing. Typically, a woman is sexually abused, terribly unloved and neglected.  She feels unloved and unsafe..worthless.  

I feel bad for that young daughter.
