[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bloomers are standard toddler wear. Please don't give your daughter a complex, and teach her that showing skin above the knee is wrong, trashy/slutty and makes her deserving of unwanted attention.

She's a toddler let her enjoy her clothes, and her play and not feel shame for her body.

NP here. This has nothing to do with female empowerment, crazy lady.

A) Long shorts make it possible to slide down a slide when it is too hot on her  bare butt/legs.
B) when she flips over on the monkey bars, she wants the freedom to NOT have  the other kids to laugh at her when they see her underwear.
c) My kid's church  preschools required shorts under dresses, so they are required as part of the dress code. No shame involved. [/quote]

Oh, really? So boys run around the playground in their underwear and their crotch showing when they climb  up the monkey bars?
 You can still be a feminist and at the same time cover your personal bits. Modesty is not something to be ashamed of.

There is no reason to call names.
OP's reasoning is entirely sexist as is your kid's church uniform even if you don't realize it.
If your daughter wants to wear shorts under her dress that is fine, but the fact the the kids ( I suspect mainly boys think it's okay to laugh at a girl's underpants) is the result of sexism.[/quote][/quote]

NP here - toddler girl clothes are cut smaller, tighter, and shorter than boys.  Compare a 3T tshirt from the boys and girls section.  My 97th percentile toddler needs to size up 2-3 sizes in girls and fits her size or a size up in boys.  She also skins her knees constantly and injures herself more when wearing clothes that show a ton of skin.  I want her to run and play without being afraid to hurt herself.  How many friction burns on the slide or bloody knees will it take before she decides it's not worth it?  [/quote]
