>>It isn’t just the other kids. It’s the grown men.
Probably because society tells them that as soon as they start to mature physically, they need to get into the skin-tight clothes, push-up bras, booty shorts, and makeup. Then, they could be 12, or they could be 32. If some poor guy thinks they’re 20, they don’t correct him because they want the attention from an “older guy” to make their friends jealous.
And I will be flamed for saying this from all the single moms out there because its important for them for their daughters to discover their sexuality, while at the same time they do everything they can to emasculate their sons because he reminds them of their ex (or baby daddy).
Oh, no. I was a late developer, but I went to extremes when I did. I dressed modestly, and too many men still acted as if I had grown my breasts on purpose to get attention.
Revealing clothes don’t help matters, but clothes are not the main problem. The problem is the men - only a few in some groups, and a great many in others.
Unfortunately, women do seem to have an innate disdain for male sexuality: particularly when it conflicts with their own. They would not attend to the idea men have something to be sorry/ashamed of were it not so.
