</span><span>
On example is </span><span>Charles Dickens character in </span>Oliver Twist<span> named Charley Bates but frequently referred to as Master Bates (the term masturbate was already in use when Dickens wrote Oliver Twist and had the same meaning then as it does today). There are plenty more examples of this in other literature.</span><span>

Theroux’s essay was written in 1983. Which of his points are outdated? Which ones do you think remain true today?
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

Theroux’s points are all accurate to this day. He presents certain objectives that are still presented today among women and men. Specifically, Theroux utilizes factors such as ‘ In a sense, little girls are traditionally urged to please adults with a kind of coquettishness, while boys are enjoined to behave like monkeys towards each other. The nine year old coquette proceeds to become womanish in a subtle power game in which she learns to be sexually indispensable, socially decorative and always alert to a man’s sense of inadequacy’ and ‘Femininity — being lady­like — implies needing a man as witness and seducer; but masculinity celebrates the exclusive company of men. That is why it is so grotesque; and that is also why there is no manliness without inadequacy — because it denies men the natural friendship of women.’ This evidence depicts how even in the present day, his theories among both genders continue to remain accurate.
