Yes, sons.. the equivalent to daughters just does not work well. Say what you will about the desparageability of the double standard, it may well have a basis in reality.
We fade to a scene with a man with grade school daughter on his knee..
"Now bunny rabbit, when you grow up there is only one practical way of looking at things. All men are faithless, so trying to find the faithful needle in the rotten haystack is one big waste of time, isn't it darlin'" BR: "so what should I do daddy?" Dad: "Well, dearest, I would say go thru as many of them as you can, and take them for as much as the market will bear. Don't sell yourself to cheaply and bargain as hard as you can."
(15 years later .. the phone rings ..) "Daddy, it's Bunny Rabbit! I was standing outside the Georgia Hotel, and was having an argument with my girlfriends, and I remembered what you said to me so long ago when I was just a little girl. So Daddums, what do yah figger is a good rate for a girl for a half an hour, and how many men is enough in one day? Daddy? Daddy?" (aside... quick Mildred, call an ambulance to 311 Parkside, I recognize that choking sound, I think the old geezer is having a heart attack..)
