[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is unwise of you to limit her because by doing so you invest clothing with more importance than it otherwise would have. You also deny her the chance to connect consequences with choices. If she goes out skimpily dressed [b]she will likely receive lots of unwelcome attention that she will have to decide how to handle[/b]. Let that process naturally unfold. Clothing selection for Western teens is a critical part of identity formation.[/quote]

Ew, let your teen be sexually harrassed so she can figure out her fashion style. [/quote]

Ew! Blaming women and girls for the toxic behavior of men and boys![/quote]

Isn't the point of wearing short shorts and crop tops together at once to gain male attention?  It isn't as if they are comfortable or stylish.  Wearing provocative clothing sends a signal.  While it obviously isn't an invitation for sexual harassment, it is a cry for attention.  [/quote]

No. It's a myth females dress to impress men, if they are looking for any outside affirmation it's to compete with  other females.[/quote]

[b]Male attention, female attention, doesn't matter.  It is still using your body to gain attention and affirmation.[/b]  [/quote]

+1  And that is not the type of daughters we want to raise in our household.  We want strong, independent girls and women, not girls and women who judge themselves based on the attention they get from others according to how they dress.  Yuck.[/quote]
