As the seasons change and the weather warms, American adults are yet again being subjected to the uncomfortable spectacle of teenage girls wearing outfits more befitting a runway show than a school, a store, or any other public setting. Every winter I hope the trend loses steam or reverses, but every spring it returns worse than the previous year.
I wish there were a way I could word this in a less tawdry manner, but I can’t, so I’ll just be blunt: Mom and Dad, we can see the bottom of your teenage daughter’s ass. And we shouldn’t be seeing the bottom of your teenage daughter’s ass. At her age, the only one who should is her proctologist. And it’s your fault that we’re seeing it.
I hesitated writing this article because I foresee my arguments falling on deaf ears of those who feel I have no right, as a male, to dictate social norms to females. But this is an erroneous approach. I make my arguments not as a male to a female, but as an adult to a child. My gender is incidental to my arguments, and I would have no qualms with a female adult objecting to a male teenager dressing inappropriately. I’m specifically targeting the current trend among teenage females not from any leftist chimera of implicit misogyny or ingrained patriarchy, but because the consequences of said behaviors are far more serious for the teenage female than for the teenage male.
Sex and sexual behavior are always more consequential for females than for males. A teenage boy dressing inappropriately can harm himself socially, but never sexually. But as our daughters are being hypersexualized at younger and younger ages by mass marketing, the celebrity class, social media, and rapists posing as teachers,

Correct — most guys are scared to mention this — unless they are Muslim.
They know what they’re doing they love the attention especially once they figure out they have breasts
I see teenage girls dressed this way at church. Burns me up. What are their parents thinking?
Young girls should not be wearing Greyhound Shorts. That’s just wrong. It tempts the wrong sort of people.
This has been going on for the past fifty years and it was probably worse in the 1970s when cutoff Daisy Dukes and braless halter tops were the norm.
Had to look that one up. Had no clue what Greyhound shorts were. I feel sooooo old.
This particular issue has always annoyed me a bit.
Here is why:
The real issue is the location of the chest. When you are talking with someone male or female, the chest is naturally within you field of view. For men, this means nothing, but for women with breasts this means a lot. It means that when ANY man is simply talking with them, they can’t help but see their breasts since they naturally fall within the field of view of a face to face conversation.
It is NOT sexist or men trying to “control” women for people to simply try to have a conversation about what is appropriate or should be acceptable covering in this area.
If you disagree ... then imagine this: Imagine if a mans penis was attached to his chest! and how many restrictions there would be about the appropriate or acceptable covering of it!
If that were the case, every time a woman was having a conversation with a man, the mans penis would be RIGHT THERE in her field of vision!
Basic primal instinct to attract a mate and breed.
It is ubiquitous in TV ads. A lot of folks have zeroed in on the Dupixent ad with the three young girls doing a dance routine. Almost universal condemnation.
Good article.
“the only one who should is her proctologist”
Do girls have proctologists? I admit I don’t know. I thought it was a dude thing only.
“I see teenage girls dressed this way at church. Burns me up.”
In church, I’d rather see a girl in a short dress than a girl in torn (on purpose) blue jeans and tee shirt. But that’s just me; everyone has different triggers.
You don’t put goods in the display window unless they’re for sale.
But I guess modesty and propriety are now old fashioned.
In the largely secular society over the past hundred years or so, keeping a daughter dressed has been no longer a matter of money.
Similar complaints were being made in 1923.
Just further proof that America is now a degenerate, selfish me first anything goes society.
The few times I rode with my brother to drop his son off at high school, the goods were out an on display - and that was over 15 years ago. I can only imagine now.

Just shows anyone WHO RUNS THAT HOUSEHOLD DOESN’T IT?
