[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I HATE that some of the girls wear such skimpy clothing. Super short shorts and crop tops.   I don't let my DD out of the house wearing that kind of thing, BUT, I can't control what she does when she leaves the house.  I know she rolls up her shorts and ties up her shirt when she leaves the house. I'm not happy about it, but I can't stop it.

My older DS (now in HS)  told me that a lot of girls dress that way in MS, and that the way DD dresses is not out of the ordinary and is also much more tame than some of the other girls in MS.  I hate it.  I do wish they wore uniforms.  It would be so much easier, but when I think back to when I was in MS, I would've hated uniforms, so I don't blame kids who don't want strict uniforms. I just wish they didn't dress like that.[/quote]

Wouldn't it be great if society, collectively, spent less time condemning the clothing choices of girls and young women? Just imagine what we could do with the mental energy that would free up.[/quote]

I think there's one poster on this board who gets off talking about teens and their skimpy clothing. We had one on youbemom back in the day. Possibly the same guy. It's sick and it's sad and those of us with daughters need to teach them that men like this and their opinions do not matter. [/quote]

I wouldn’t assume that.  FWIW, I know plenty of moms in my MCPS neighborhood who will adamantly insist that girls be able to wear what they want.  And that dress codes are antiquated and crush girls’ style, etc.  Feminism and all.

Personally, I disagree and am often surprised/appalled by the clothes some MS girls wear.  But I can only control my own kid (and barely can do that).  [/quote]
