[quote=Anonymous][quote]What's feminist is telling girls that

1. Your body belongs to you; it is not public property. 
2. Your sexuality is yours; it is not public property. 
3. Your body is not an object for other people's benefit or disdain. 
4. Your clothes do not make other people do things.

You can't tell girls all of that and then also say, "But you shouldn't wear short shorts." Or, well, you can, but it's not logically consistent.[/quote]

I agree with this and don't see short shorts as a feminist issue at all. I do think its an issue of appropriate behavior which goes for both girls and boys. I will not allow my daughter to dress inappropriately which which include underwear styled shorts. My son will not be allowed to wear shorts that hang off his butt either. While your clothes do not make other people do things, your clothing and how you present yourself does mean something.

I've done well in my career for my brain and that is what my employer pays me for each day. However, if I walked in wearing a Bozo the clown suit this certainly would not work in my favor. [/quote]
