[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^Also, how do you explain this? “No, honey, it’s only one pieces for you. You are responsible for any comments that come your way while wearing a bikini because men can’t be asked to control themselves around such displays. You are a sexual being and should do everything you can to temper appearing as the vixen you are under those clothes.”

Give me a break. If some man catcalled my 10 year old, I would be there and would make sure he was told off. Also, I don’t take my kids to pools at construction sites and such. Where are you hanging out that this happens to little girls? [/quote]

"No honey, you and your brother wear rash guards and board shorts because your skin is still young and very sensitive and you need sun protection. String bikinis are for grown ups and you don't need gendered clothing as a six year old"[/quote]

This. You don't say anything except "our entire family wears rash guards because they protect your skin best." You make it about something other than sexualization. And we have a beach house and it happens on the boardwalk and on the beach. Yes, even "nice" beach towns and pools don't protect teen girls from sexual harassment. Why? Because privileged boys grow up to be entitled teens and young adults and as you know, boys will be boys. If you think your 12 year old won't hear comments from 16 year olds, then I've got a bridge to sell you.

And again, it's COMPLETE nonsense that any of us have to think that way. But do you want to ignore reality and let YOUR daughter's mental health suffer because you don't think it should work that way? Ask any adult woman that developed earlier than her peers, it happens and it sucks.
