[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] On one hand, I think it might just be too much exposure, and there is an aopportunity to teach a young girl that different exposure amounts can generate different reactions, some of which they may not want (Leering construction workers, for example.) [/quote] What I would like to teach young girls is that they are not responsible for the thoughts and actions of others. When men harass women on the street, it's not because of short shorts; it's because the men chose to harass women on the street. If you teach her that wearing short shorts leads to street harassment, and she wears longer shorts, and she still gets harassed -- which she will -- what next? Long pants only? And if she still gets harassed, which she will, and then...? Not to mention that it's a short step from "You got harassed on the street? What were you wearing?" to "You got raped? What were you wearing?".[/quote]
