I make DD wear biker shorts underneath her dress, and it must come down a couple of inches below her bottom. Some of the dresses I've seen hit right below the butt cheeks. Some girls wear tube tops to school, and shorts that show the bottom of the butt cheeks.

How on earth is that appropriate attire for school?

Yes, and I'm sure she doesn't push her bike shorts up when she leaves the house.

I’m not this PP, but who cares if she does. As a mom, at least I’m making it clear how I feel on the issue. She can push the boundaries, but it’s also my job to set some for her. She’s 15, not 21.

Please note what stays consistent over time - the boys are fully clothed and covered and girls boobs and asses are on display or hanging out.

But if you point this out, you are slut shaming them and also you should be body positive. Oh and also if a boy glances at their butt cheeks or boobs or notices when their crotch is on fully display, he is the problem and not the girl and it is their right to have their ass or boobs hanging out and the boys should all be better humans and not ever look or comment. This mindset totally works and all the boys handle this great because 16 and 17 year olds are super mature and have no raging hormones or lack of good judgment in groups.

It is the greatest that this is what our daughters want to wear and don't have a single opinion OP. And yep, I have a teen daughter.

The internalized misogyny is grotesque. Some of you are unbelievable.

Spell this out more how it's misogyny. I'm genuinely interested.

It’s not appropriate at all. I have a boy and a girl and I wish our HS enforced dress codes. Unfortunately, if they try to enforce anything, parents are up in arms about how the school is ‘trampling on their daughters’ right to dress how they want’. It’s gone a bit overboard.

As the parent of a mom, it would make my job easier if I could point to dress code rules as guidance.

The misogyny is normalizing sending our young teen girls to school in hyper-sexualized and demeaning clothing.

It’s beyond me how people think the expectation that only girls show their bodies is somehow liberating.

Actually, dressing to attract male attention is misogyny.

A lot of the mothers are brainwashed into this BS too! It's bonkers to me.

Any women walking around in this world in these outfits needs to be prepared for the response they will get and eventually it will be something they don't like and attention they don't want. Is this right or fair or deserved? Nope. Does it totally suck?
Yes. But here on planet earth, that's what will happen. Please at least explain this to your daugthers.

Teenagers are gonna teenage (our moms hated how we dressed, too) so I think the dresses are generally fine, but what I don’t understand is these moms plastering the photos of their scantily clad, underage kids all over social media! Wearing it around their peers is whatever, but why post it online for creeps to ogle?

Yup. It only benefits men..

My daughters wear bike shorts under those short homecoming dresses. The dress stays in place and nothing is hanging out.

Yes, and I'm sure she doesn't push her bike shorts up when she leaves the house.

the bike shorts are super short. No room to push it up, but at least her butt cheeks aren't hanging out.

I don't understand some of you parents.. yes, the teens may be hiding sh1t that they do, but at least you as a parent have made it clear that some things are not acceptable. Just because kids will do things you don't want them to do doesn't mean you give up and just let them do whatever they want.

Or, maybe you do because it's just easier for you. Lazy parenting.

+1 IMO, it's sexualizing and objectifying girls even more.

-parent of teen DD and teen DS, and I'm somewhat of a feminist.

Those girls have zero respect for their own bodies. People have eyes. H3ll, even a woman/girl would notice your butt cheeks hanging out.
