(21,020 posts)old fashioned, having grown up in the 50s and early 60s, but I don't want to see anyone's buttocks hanging out unless it's at the beach.
IOW, people dress according to the situation or the activity.
Would this mother...or any parent, actually... consider sending her kid to church dressed that way?
That old cliche about "flaunting it if you got it" is, again IMO, stupid. Shows a lack of respect for oneself. And others.
Not only that, but I feel that any mom who runs around showing off her daughter's "charms" in that manner is actually presenting the kid as a sexual object. Inviting sexual interest...or maybe daring men of all ages NOT to look. It's like some damned if you do, damned if you don't game they play. If a man doesn't look, it's because he's a "secret pedophile" who's afraid to give himself away. If he does look, it's because he's an out-and-out pedophile pervert pig.
That's one thing I never understood about women. How some of us dress to invite attention, then when we get it, we scream "PIG!!!" at the men who noticed. We set them up...bait them...then slam the cudgel down on their heads when they take the bait.
WTF...
