[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I surprised no one got harassed as a teenager when wearing skimpy clothes. I learned not to wear a tank top and short shorts on a Greyhound bus.
But if your daughters are not getting harassed, more power to them. [/quote]

How have you not learned that it doesn't matter what a teenager/woman wears, she gets harassed.  I grew up in the conservative midwest, dressing conservatively, and my friends and I were harassed.  My DD is also harassed - even when she was wearing her unflattering softball uniform!

Harassment is a reflection of the person doing the harassing, not what the target is wearing.[/quote]

Then your experience is different than mine. I was harassed [b]more [/b]when wearing skimpy clothes. [/quote]

Proving the PP's point - you were harassed no matter what you wore, you were just harassed 'more' when you wore more revealing clothing. Yet, you're still judging girls/women for the behavior of boys/men.  smh[/quote]

I'm not judging girls wearing short shorts and midriffs. I have no problem with that.
I'm just saying that when I was a teenager, I learned from experience not to wear skimpy clothes when I was using public transportation by myself. It would almost guarantee that I would be harassed.

I preferred to be cat called about once a month rather than have a man try to cop a feel or corner me, which was almost guaranteed when I dressed slutty by myself on thr bus. What I wore made a difference in the level of harassment. [/quote]
