[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I disagree with the premise the society pressures women and girls to cover up.  In my experience over almost 50 years, society pressures young women and teen girls to display their bodies.  Boys never walk around with their bellies on display or their ass cheeks hanging out.  Why?   Because it’s generally not comfortable and they don’t feel the need to display their bodies in order to garner positive attention.  Putting aside things like girls going run a run or out on a very hot day, I think it’s indisputable that most girls are doing this either to attract the male gaze or to satisfy some societal expectation of what is feminine or in.  (Note all the threads on this site about women looking dowdy or like an old lady if they wear bathing suits that cover their ass or their stomach.)

+100.

I have a 13 year old who dresses as has been described above and I’m not wild about it, but I recognize that a lot of that is my slightly repressed immigrant background.  So, I pick my hills to die on bc there is only so much you can nitpick about. So I leave the clothes but am on her tail about tone and attitude to family members.[/quote]
