Dear **50’s Mom** , We were having show and tell in our 3rd grade class today. We were supposed to tell what we wanted to be when we grew and show some thing we would use to do that job. I brought a toy gun and holster I borrowed from my little brother (well he’d have lent them to me if I asked) to show when it was my turn. When I got called on and went to the front of the class. I showed the class my gun and told them that I wanted to be a policeman. They laughed at me! Billy said “Stupid. You’re a girl. You can’t be a policeman. You can only be a teacher or a mommy.” Is that true? Why can’t I be a policeman? Or at least a police girl or something? It’s not fair. Signed Mad in the 3rd grade ---

Would that Betty from down the street be Betty Page? Because my friend Bobby had some photos of her as a jungle girl captured by evil hunters, and I looked at them for a long time, and now every time Lois Lane gets tied up on Superman – and it seems to happen _every_ week – my clothes get to tight and hot. Especially my shorts. I have got to aske this Betty woman what is going on, I think. Should I, 50s Mom? [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/ask-the-50s-mom/323166.md?page=2)
