I think for the most part that sums up the situation - comfort and wanting to avoid "panty lines".
I never used the word 'slut' so don't try to 'put words into my mouth'.
No, you didn't use the word "slut," but you did say, "the ones wearing the thongs were wearing them for one reason only and it was not because it was the most comfortable choice of undergarment available to them" What is this reason? If I had made that sort of comment about your wife or daughter what would you think I was getting at?
A grown woman doesn't need to give a reason why she wants to wear a thong. A young teenage girl under the guidance of an attentive adult most certainly does.
As I have said before I have no problem with school dress codes, in fact, I think they are a good thing. What a person wears on the outside could be quite distracting and irresponsible for someone of a certain age. However, what the person is wearing underneath those particular dress-code approved clothing be it granny panties, thongs, or nothing, is not the schools business.
Surely a person as bright as yourself understands the basic physics involved here. When a girl in a short skirt starts dancing, what is likely to happen? Yep, the laws of nature dictate that what is UNDER that skirt is likely to become visible. Would you be willing to extend your "distracting and irresponsible" clause to include anything that is publicly visible?
That one reason is to make themselves look sexy, inviting and tempting to their boyfriends. That doesn't make them sluts. It makes them normal teenagers suffering from hormone poisoning.
This is why they need guidance from parents on issues such as proper dress. Left to their own devices most would make choices that would have serious consequences that they had not forseen.
And these thongs were sported under very short dresses. On the dance floor there is no way they would be staying out of sight or underneath their clothing. That's why the girls wearing long skirts or slacks were not questioned or inspected.
And BTW, a thong is not worn for comfort. Have you ever had a length of dental floss wedged up you a$$? I haven't either but I'm told it's not comfortable.
On the right a$$, it's sexy...but not comfortable.
Ladies...am I wrong?
