[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not sure why everyone assumes that it is inappropriate for someone to wear a thong.  Do kids actually care / notice this?  And assuming they do, is it important that they do?  Personally, I think it is pointless to worry about what somebody else is wearing, and I don't think the presence of children really changes the analysis.[/quote]

Yes, children notice.  We were at at pool when DS was five and a woman was wearing a thong.  DS pointed and shouted at her, "Mommy, I can see her butt!"  The woman walked into the restroom and changed the bottom half of her bikini.  She had the right to wear a thong, but she should expect that people would notice.  I was really annoyed that my kid had to see that.  We have rating/sensors for tv and movies, because it isn't appropriate to expose young children to nudity.  Her a$$ is a form of nudity that I didn't want my five year old to see.

This is the same as language.  At the same pool, a group of young college-aged men were loudly describing the events from the prior evening.  This included phrases such as, "yeah, I f***** her" and "she was so f****** good."  Not appropriate language for a family pool on a Sunday morning.  I asked them nicely to "chill on the f-bombs with little ears present."  They didn't stop - even starting talking about "a girl is 16 if she looks 16" in reference to underage sex.  I complained to the manager and they were asked to leave.  Some conversations and style of dress are fine for adults, but inappropriate for children.  We over-sexualize our culture as it is.  I don't need my kid seeing nudity or hearing about a young adult's sex life.  It's really inappropriate and disrespectfully to the rest of the members of the pool.[/quote]
