[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sure I will tell my girls to just laugh it off when they are sexually objectified, no one will take them seriously if they complain anyway. Why not just go with the flow? It is probably their fault for wearing makeup and short skirts. When they get date raped I will tell them to think about how they probably teased the guy and led him on.

And people wonder why sexual assault us so prevalent in college! You defenders of this stuff should be seriously ashamed of yourselves.[/quote]

I agree with this.

It's one thing if kids do it informally, which they will definitely do.  It's another thing when the institution sanctions it.  The message it: it is acceptable and normal to single out girls purely on the basis of being sexy, because this is what matters.  The reality is: it DOES matter.  But we as the adults should be trying our hardest to send young girls the message that they shouldn't hang their self-esteem on their body and looks.  [/quote]

This is so spot on. Thank you. Anyone at Sidwell care to re-think this "harmless" tradition?[/quote]
