Parents, Put Some Clothes On Your Daughter! When teenage girls dress in booty shorts or extremely revealing tops, they are, as feminist Camille Paglia put it, sending a sexual signal.

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,

Sometimes I think the fashion industry is partly to blame because skimpy clothes require less fabric and less labor for tailoring. If you were trying to make money, would you make tank tops or golf shirts with set in sleeves, buttons and collars?

“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.”

We are actually looking at her heart. Her breasts just happen to be in the way!

Not to mention the recent fad of going braless!

(a fad that I hope continues and catches on bigly)

“ Sunday morning when we go down to church
See the menfolk standin’ in line
I said they come to pray to the Lord
With my little girl, looks so fine”

That was 1970

Proctologists deal with the last portion of the digestive system — colon, rectum, anus. So while both men and women may require the particular services of a proctologist, girls and boys probably wouldn’t — barring some sort of birth defect or freak injury.

Girls have gastrointestinal tracts, therefore they could potentially be in need of a proctologist.

Who is buying these girls clothes?

I simply don’t believe that they are dressing themselves.

I helped raise 2 girls. They never dressed like a slut. It never came up.

I don’t get it. Well I get it. Mom’s a whore so little Buffy wants to be a whore too.

Or Mom is a wanna be whore...my brother’s wife (very obese) bought her 13 yr old daughter a pair of pants with “juicy” on them...niece told me she did not really like them when she stayed with us ...so we threw them out. (This was about 20 yrs ago)

Let me make this easier to understand.

If it's good to encourage girls to dress like sluts, and also if it's sexual assault when boys even look at girls ... you might be a Democrat.

Males & females are wired differently.

Females are tactile, in other words, sexually stimulated by touch. That’s why women need foreplay to become aroused.

Men are visually stimulated. They’re aroused by what they see.

This is why girls need to cover up & parents need to teach their daughters to be modest.

It’s also why transgender “women” (men) don’t belong in women’s restrooms & locker rooms, and why we never hear about transgender “men” (women) demanding access to men’s restrooms & locker rooms.

Agree, makes it easier to see if their HI-beams are on.

See my post #31.
Muslims acknowledge that males & females are wired differently.

I remember the mini and micro skirts in the 1960s. Also a report on the number of rapes increasing at that time.

Sounds as if someone took the sexual message the girls were sending too serious.

Girls can get attention and validation on social media these days. No need for in person contact.

Years ago, the secretary at work was called to her daughter’s school. Her daughter had gone to a friend’s house and changed clothes before going to school (junior high, I think) She told the boss “I have to go to the school. My daughter’s dressed like a whore.”

Good article.

It would be much better with lots of pictures. A dirty old man would say.

If you put a sign on your front porch: “Alpacas for Sale”, don’t be shocked when people contact you about buying alpacas.

I was a teenager in the 60’s and young girls were dressing just as provacatively as they do now. This is not a new issue. We're acting a lot like Grandpa Simpson complaining about how horrible things are today. In reality, nothing has changed.
