[quote=Anonymous]My dd is now 18 and in her second year of university. When she expressed a desire to wear things I thought were inappropriate, I explained why - that some men/boys are raised to think if a girl dresses that way she is inviting catcalling, ass-grabbing, and more, and that I didn't think she was ready to handle that.

Our compromise was that she would take a me-approved self-defense class, and that she would practice what she learned with her father and me, so we could feel comfortable she could handle herself. We also forced her to sit through several speeches on why pants that say "Pink" or "Juicy" are so offensive.  I'm still not thrilled that she chooses to walk around wearing sweatpants that say Princess across the ass, but after a year of wearing them around college-town, she's now only wearing them to sleep.

The short skirts and dresses? Well, I did it when I was her age - can't really fault her for wanting to show off cellulite-free legs while she's got them. I think once kids are in college (she went when she was 3 months shy of 17) you need to be content with having sent them off with the information they need to make good decisions. [/quote]
