Go ahead and mock it; I personally think there is value in modesty.  I get it,[b] we have entire generations of women in this country that believe that walking around in your underwear (essentially) somehow makes girls feel confident, love their bodies, and plus....don't they look sooo cute?!![/b]   But me, I think it just makes boys and girls draw more sexual attention to their bodies, think about sex more, and ultimately have sex more.  Something that I think there is value in delaying until kids are actually adults.  No, I am not interested in my kids wearing dresses and long leggings to swim in, but let me ask you this:  do you think the girls who use ultra-modest swimwear are feeling really sexy in their dresses and leggings?  Do you think boys are viewing them as girls who might be easy to have sex with?  Do you think older men are staring at their butts and boobs?  Do you think they believe their sexiness is equal to confidence and attractiveness?[/quote]

We have entire generations of women in this country who think that there are more important matters than how much skin a girl or woman shows or doesn't show. Or, anyway, I wish we did.

And if older men are staring at the butts and boobs of young teenage girls, regardless of what the young teenage girls are wearing, then those older men need to control themselves and stop doing that.[/quote]

I'm not sure why you think "men need to stop looking" at sexy women.  Isn't that a very foundational part of how we humans function?  Isn't that the point?  And ultimately isn't that what women want?  None of us would be here without basic sexual attraction between men and women -- it's something that is supposed to happen and something that we want to happen (or did, when we were young and single).  Scantily-clad women send a message that we, by our very nature, are designed to be sending and receiving.  I think it's ridiculous to simultaneously show off your nearly-naked body in mini-bits of clothing which are designed specifically to make you look sexy, but then be upset at men (of any age) for looking at it.   And sure, you want to let your daughter in on this exchange, I guess that's your business.  But to answer OPs question, it's not something I want for my daughter - not like this - which is why the females in my house do not wear bikinis.[/quote]
