They wear tape and shorts. I have girls and lots of girls get ready at my house. I have no idea what those posters talking about private parts are on about. They sound like internet perverts.

Exactly. The question is, why do yeh choices of unrelated teen girls get people so furious. And don’t act like it’s just the nature of the dresses. I have swimmers and somehow I can manage not to stare at speedos (or become furious about them, etc.)

And I’d be cautious about congratulating yourselves on your judgey daughters wearing dresses you approve of.

They are all the same level of naked in swimming. It’s not about anyone not being able to control themselves to stare at them. It’s they feel forced into wearing these uncomfortable dresses that look terrible on most of them to fit in and we as a culture are part of that. And yep I have a teenage daughter and she is wearing a dress like this even. I can allow it and still see its kind of messed up.

Some of you are so dense:

Several people have literally been claiming they not been able to avoid seeing people’s “privates” and that they look like prostitutes. Girls and their choices are policed in a way that boys and there choices aren’t. I mean, you don’t see many page threads about boys scratching themselves or mansprreading etc like you do teen girl clothes gripes.

It is the God-given duty of teenagers to wear/do/say things that are shocking to their elders. I’m sure the prehistoric cave parents stood around and clucked about the appalling trends in mastodon skins.

Encourage your kids to “test drive” their formal wear in the dressing room. Can they sit? Dance? Put their arms above their head? If they say yes (whether or not it’s actually true) then any issues that night are on them.

Boys get policed all the time for different kinds of things and some do get judged for their clothes. They are not the ones showing up to dances mostly naked. So we’re not talking about them right now.

+1. It seems like 95% of these posters do not have a teenager daughter but they sure have a lot of opinions on teenage girls.

I have a teenage daughter. She is a good person AND she has enough self respect to not dress like this. (And if she wanted to I wouldn’t allow it.)

Why does it have to be either/or with some of you? Black and white thinking to the extreme.

I say it not because of the dress but because of the degrading language that’s being used.

Sorry, I am not part of this trend of pretending that everything a girl does is some feminist declaration. That self-objectification is how women can gain power in this world.

Some of you are proud of letting your daughters dress like prostitutes. You’re protesting against the “language” because otherwise you’d have to admit to yourself that that is exactly what they look like. And the truth hurts.

You, an adult, sure are angry and nasty about the dress worn by a girl (who is not your daughter).

Not happy with the look. Does not exude confidence, rather is try-hard and tacky.

Stay classy, grown women angrily criticizing the dresses of/remarking on the bodies of sophomores in high school you don’t know!

As a middle aged woman I feel qualified to say: oh girls, this is not self-actualization.
