[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Phrasing it as "you don't need to display everything" assumes that the girl's body is an object for other people's benefit (or disdain). I am all in favor of talking to 13-year-olds about the male gaze and objectification and how society assumes that women's bodies are public property. But it's not wearing short shorts that turns 13-year-old girls into objects. It's being a 13-year-old girl. (see, for example: http://www.theonion.com/articles/teenage-girl-blossoming-into-beautiful-object,31061/ )[/quote] When you put it out there for everyone to see, it does become an object for others' benefit - namely males that like to ogle young girls' or frankly, any woman's butt.
