[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We’ve had a lot of conversations about this topic at our house and it’s one I struggle with. We’ve definitely loosened things up based on feedback from our daughters. They should be able to wear what they want without fearing unwanted male attention. But changing boy behavior is hard and it makes me really uncomfortable thinking about men or teen boys ogling my daughters. I don’t know the answer. We are just tryin FTI keep the conversation going about us wanting our daughters to date someone who likes who they are as people and not just how they look in crop tops or short shorts. Dyed hair is a lot easier for me to support![/quote]

I am a bit lost too. On the one hand, no amount of nakedness would ever excuse unwanted touch or behavior. On the other hand, there is no denying that we are animals and nakedness produces a sexual response in both men and women. Wearing ultra-revealing clothes give kids (and women) different form of attention than wearing other form of clothing. For a teenage girl who just developed, it is tempting to play and expererience with that power/attention.
Not sure that where I will draw the line if/when my daughters (now in oversized outfits) will ask, but I would have a full conversation with them about all this.
