Teach her to respect herself and to expect others to give her respect too. It is a different side of the coin.

Tell that to the skank generation. Not all of them have the attitude women just exist for men's amusement. Wendy Shalit, Ariel Levy and Ashley Herzog have a different take on it. Just as decent men are men who respect women from the waist up, thoughtful women like the above writers think its adds to rather than detracts from a woman's femininity when women respect themselves. I call the return to modesty not as a refutation of sexuality but the enlightened expression of it with style and a feeling of grace. Before the 60s, our parents had no difficulty expressing themselves without the coarseness and lack of restraint so apparent today. The sexual revolution that followed simply allowed men and women to both behave like pigs instead of people endowed with the equipment of manners. That is what is missing today from our culture.
