I was groped and harassed by a 30-year old man when I was 17 and working at a restaurant. I was wearing a uniform.

Somehow we've decided to focus on teens' clothing choices when, in many instances, harassment and assault occur regardless of what we or our daughters are wearing.

I am a conservative person but I refuse to give my daughter a false sense of security by telling her that dressing modestly will protect her.

Why is it always about protecting the girls and women from predators? I don’t give a single sh!t if your snowflakes are harassed or not when they’re out dressing like streetwalkers. That’s their choice if they want to actively invite that sort of attention, and your job to protect them as much as possible or not.

I’m actually just talking about basic manners and respect for other people. Walking around in public with your tits and @$$ hanging out constantly is just GD rude and shows that you’re a complete narcissist with a serious helping of main character syndrome.

And for those of you who will emphatically disagree with me and call me names like Karen or hag or insinuate that I’m just jealous or ugly, I challenge you to examine (and please report back to us) if you DO have a line when it comes to how people should dress in public.

DP. Short of breaking the rules/law, I don't. I do not get to police what other people do with their bodies. That includes the clothes they wear. I don't know why this is such a hard concept for some people.

BS. You wouldn’t be okay with a bunch of men walking around naked, for example.

Agree with you in part, but at least some cases, men only harass females dressed more skankily not the more modest dressed ones. You can deny it all you want but you know it’s true.

I mean the teens all looked beautiful, and they can look back when they are in their advanced years at how hot they were, but those dresses were Kardashian level short and tight. My older one is a boy so i haven't had to deal with this yet with my daughter, but if she were wearing those dresses at age 15-17, I would be sad.

Let’s be honest. A lot of teens are not hot and have some excess weight on them. Teen girls are going to wear what’s popular regardless if it flatters them if they don’t have confidence. Mothers especially should start a little earlier to help her child find her own style and what works best for her. It takes confidence to not follow the trends but that’s a great trait to have.

There are public decency laws prohibiting that, so no, I wouldn't. Can they walk around in a speedo? Who gives a crap?

I went online to see some random homecoming pictures because we don’t do that at our high school and I had no idea about it.

They weren’t all bad. They were all poorly made. Some just two pieces sewn together. a lot of the girls did dress to look pretty and what was flattering to their body type. Some were awful though. Sausage dresses which looked like they were encased in the dress. Some were way too short and the slits went up to the thong.

If it’s related to a football game it’s too bad the clothing can’t be more casual. The boys looked sloppy.

Please don't think you have any insight into what our "line" is. You're the rigid one here.
Teens have been dressing in "short" and "tight" clothes forever (including me, and no I don't anymore). These are smart, beautiful, young adults who YOU are besmirching just b/c the dress they chose is not your cup of tea. Or you think is inappropriate. That makes you jealous.

YOU are the ones who started this thread and started slut shaming and making moral judgments about them b/c of their dresses. YOU are the ones saying they look like street walkers. Yeah, that makes you a "karen" (and worse, imo).

21 pages of jealous old women slut shaming teenagers. Shame on all of you.

Some of your daughters really have a bright future on the pole.

Some people, like you, are stuck in the dark ages, thinking a short dress defines a girl’s worth. Tell my daughter her future is on a pole—despite having a 4.7 GPA, being the debate team captain, SGA Vice-President, and cheer captain—She'd likely laugh at your face and call you a Karen.

OMG please no! Not some skanky teen with a brain dead mother calling me a Karen!!!

LOL to the weighted GPA. I’m sure she’s a genius.

Bold words from someone way too fixated on the length of teen girls' dresses. Maybe work on that nasty personality, and who knows—people might actually start liking you, and you’ll stop obsessing over what others wear.
