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,

Muslim men aren’t masculine, they are macho, the overdoing it maleness for the men who are unsure of themselves.

I’ve taught youth classes in church for many years. Years ago in one church we had Wednesday night youth Bible study. One of our regular girls, quite a pretty young lady, had been sent home from school that day for too short shorts, and she was fuming. So I asked her why she dressed that way - thought she would spout the usual stuff about freedom, but she was honest with me - she said she wanted every boy in the room to drool over her when she walked in. So there’s nothing new under the sun.

Nope. Lived through all of that. Still not as obscene as what we see today.

The girls were much sexier in miniskirts and hot pants.

Today young females are not even worth looking at, they seem at the least pudgy if not fat, and unfemale-like, unkempt, with poor posture and body positioning, sailor tattoos, and unfeminine hair, they are more like a sloppy trainwreck, trashy.

Of course they are

The primary task of women is to get pregnant and bear children

My issue with this is he that he assumes all teenage girls do this on purpose. They DO NOT.
SOME, more knowledgeable and expierenced girls might.
But most teen girls don’t even realize what that does to a male.
I was one. I wish my mom or dad would’ve explained instead of just forbidding me from wearing certain things.
If i had understood, then I could’ve learned to handle the way I dressed and acted much better, especially when i turned 18 and could do what i want.
I’m embarrassed at how i dressed and acted sometimes because i was so naive, and i had no idea how unfair I was being to young men sometimes. It wasn’t until i was married that my husband explained about how we dress and act affects men.
Young and stupid newlywed, i just couldn’t understand why tee shirt and comfy short shorts to me = comfy clothes to clean house in. To my new hubby it was an invitation to everything BUT clean the house.

Finally he explained male point of view and I began to understand.

Parents must do better with their girls!
