[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There was a girl who looked about 13 wearing an ill fitting bikini, riding up and exposing butt cheeks. If it were just the teen boys salivating over her I wouldn't mind as much. It was the 40-50 year old dads who couldn't keep their eyes off her that was nasty.[/quote]

So it's her fault that these grown men couldn't get a grip on their behavior?[/quote]

Of course it's not her fault. But I got hit on by adult men when I was that age and had no idea how to handle it. I wouldn't willingly put my daughter in that situation.[/quote]
You're right that a 13 year old should be taught how to deal with the situation.  Requiring her to coverup is not the answer--it's not her fault.  She doesn't need an itsy bitsy teeny bikini, but the ones at Target and the like are fine.  [/quote]

Nobody said she should "cover up," but there is a culturally acceptable line of what's considered appropriate for a 13 year old.  You draw it at a Target bikini, for example. That's probably what most Americans are comfortable with.   Would you let your 13 year old go topless at the pool if it were legal? Everyone and every culture has a comfort zone with this.

And IMO, age matters.[/quote]
