Not all times were better. At least it was not that where champion the chaperone, the strangest of vampiric monsters. One might be justified to survive and always needed the help of two people.
the chaperone is a fossil that nobody cares. Unlike the extinct dinosaurs, claimed fervently for the new generations, no TV channel would dare to produce a special program to recreate, through complex animation techniques, social and environmental conditions that served as habitat for a presence so upset . Do not forget that the chaperone was the person assigned to accompany the young lovers in their romantic date, a censor of sex, a checkpoint of desire, which should prevent any outbreak of lust that could derail the family honor.
In general, the domestic spying accruing to the brothers. Only in the absence of males, the father agreed to delegate these responsibilities to the girl's sisters courted. Many victims report that the chaperones were more difficult to circumvent celópatas relatives, because it encouraged a protective instinct based on an exaggerated sense of ownership. Fraternal attachment worked like a wall impenetrable to the flurry of bribes and temptations.
cultural phenomenon, like many others, is rooted in sexism, backward belief system that still cripples the personality development of both sexes, and denies, in the specific case of women's full enjoyment of sexuality. Having well over its history, the "chaperones" proved to be more than a figure of mentoring, a system of surveillance and informers obscurantist.
A cuasipolicial background paved the way for the office of the chaperone, in more than one occasion, serve as an incentive and opportunity for the emergence of shady practices, corrupt and lacking in transparency. Many family trees are so twisted branches, or the scarcity of its foliage, the abundance of venal characters that looked the other way in exchange for money, gifts or favors. In fact, when we heard the anecdotes of the victims very difficult for us to differentiate the figure of chaperone any other discredited Creole rogue character, for example, customs agents or the transit tax.
The decline of the ancient custodians of family honor coincides with the rise of the feminist movement, when women are differentiated by their social status, but related by the weight of the same trauma, a youth withered in the aftermath of a patriarchal system-monitoring , managed to become able to substitute mothers in their homes, this dense network of gender bias that most men are bent on passing tradition.
Decades of his disappearance, we must point it still can feel a historical gnawed by chaperones. Many ladies do not forget the hugs not given, the kisses were not the words that when pronounced with calculation and cunning could not see the beauty of the phrase spontaneous, direct and sincere. Something was lost forever in the passion required to speak in coded language. Tristan and Isolde, Romeo and Juliet, Dante and Beatrice, forced to speak for wokitoki: Copy. Positive proceedings. Over and out.
Times have changed, as well as the ways in which the lovers tend to be together. A chaperone of the twenty-first century should be, necessarily a hacker-style Millennium

paparazzi, social networks, reality shows and put reggaeton perreo package, each day, the exhibitionism that characterized the so-called postmodernism. Beings jealous of their privacy have little or nothing to say to a group that finds its main source of information and entertainment in the excesses of Charlie Sheen, Lindsay Lohan, Lady Gaga or the Chilean Shakira. As much as we dislike in the society of spectacle all appeared in Google

In short, to paraphrase the popular song and thurifer gobiernera Christopher Jimenez: "You can return to Capulina Cantinflas and ink, but the old chaperones, these will never return."
