...course, these confessions feature parental blunders, not teen tribulations. Rather than tales of untimely menstruation, Parents spotlights more mature bloopers. In Parents' "I Can't Believe I Did That" section this month, a blushing mother admits to dosing off and leaving her baby in the automatic swing for four hours on the high speed setting. Likewise, "reader quizzes" bypass classic teen quandaries of "Does He Like You?" for more mature, soul-searchers like the "Family Stress Test."

(Is it any surprise that sweeter days of swing dancing and Shakespeare are all the rage?) Shalit defends, at times compellingly, shame, privacy, gallantry and sexual reticence, if not virginity until marriage. Without these, she says, women have lost power, consigned to "dreary hookups" or sexual violence. "We want our 'feminine mystique' back," she writes, "and with it male honor." Sitting in a Manhattan restaurant, modestly attired in dark tights and a calf-length, buttoned-up olive shirtwaist...
