And this is also a capitalist society....like it or not. And everyone who is in business is in it for profit.

It's like turning the channel on TV stations you don't to watch. However, what may be a problem to watch for some, may not be a problem to watch for others. Societal culture wars are different in all walks of life and their communities to include tv, fashion, music, food, sex or whatever.

What the world needs less of is "offended people" over anything. The world also needs less police "peep"les (peoples) i.e. thought police, tv police, sex police and now apparently clothes police. I personally have no issue with an inanimate article of fabric in a store. What's looks sexy to some may look like a car wash buffrag to another...

The world really needs to get it's priorities straight. Too many other things out there to "complain" about...important things...like criminals in or political and judicial systems, rather than tying up someone's time for 5 to 10 minutes who's just trying to make a living...

nothing personal...just MHO

I gotta say, 18-24 year old girls really know how to dress these days...15 years ago when I was in school it was nothing like this!

But it is a little over the top for 13 year olds to be following the trend.

The poster didn't ask for any force to be used to expand the clothing choices. Only offered advice to like minded people who also want more modest choices for their children. Don't take it personal if you like the stuff that's out there now. Go ahead and buy it. They have what you want. If they didn't no one would begrudge you for asking the merchants to offer what you want.

Just curious, Do you have kids and you dress your little girls up in clothes that show her tummy an inch above her privates? Or the crack of her butt?

That's right...so a simple complaint will indicate a very real market force demanding clothing for children that is less indecent than the current choices.

I disagree, what you wear is an expression of who you are and what you believe. And the time you spend complaining to a manager about his stock is time well spent to get the changes you need to occur.

"It's like turning the channel on TV stations you don't to watch."

Not quite the same. If there's absolutely nothing on TV, you can just shut it off and do something else. Everyone must wear clothing, and if you can't find anything but 'sexualized' clothes for a little girl, there's not much you can do (unless you happen to be able to sew).

I don't have any little children, so I don't know how bad this problem may have I gotten. I'm basing my comments on my own efforts to find a pair of comfortable dress shoes for women. Neigh on impossible when the style is extremely pointed toes and lots of platforms.
