From In Defense of Women, 1922, by H.L. Mencken:
If it were advertised that a troupe of men of easy virtue were to do a striptease act upon a public stage, the only women who would go to the entertainment would be a few delayed adolescents, a psychopathic old maid or two, and a guard of indignant members of the Parish Ladies Aid Society.

This Mencken-guy must have been clairvoyant ;-)
