I don't know of anyone who "dances like a prostitute". How are prostitutes supposed to dance? I suspect they would dance like almost any young person today raised in our permissive society but that, alone, doesn't distinguish them from anyone else.

I can agree with the general sentiment of the argument - that we sexualize our children far too early and that dressing up like Madonna at an early age has its downside. But I think the author goes a bit over the top with some of her descriptions, coming across more like a prude than like a sensible parent.

As for Jon Benet, I do think dressing little girls up in such a provocative way at such a young age can be harmful. It's not proven, though, that her beauty pageant lifestyle had anything to do with her murder.

I chaperoned one of the school dances last school year. These were just middle school kids. I had a headache after a night of keeping kids from grinding on each other or discouraging the young ladies from shaking their tails so hard I thought there butts were going to fly off. I kept a good eye on my daughter though making sure she wasn't dancing like a hootchie. I got hit in the head with chicken nuggets and dodged ice and endured because someone has to watch these kids.
