Coming from a sexual assault survivor, not getting sexually assaulted is not the main reason to teach your DDs and DSs not to get blackout drunk. For any given time a person gets blackout drunk, there are a number of other negative consequences that are far more likely than being assaulted. For this reason, I don't think it's the same as teaching someone to lock their door.

To the topic at hand, I think Pink branded clothes are a little over the top but I reject the description of "slutty". If we're going to use value-laden terminilogy, I would say trashy in the same vein as "juicy" sweatpants.

I can speak from my own experience that when my mom forbid something I found a way around it and was sneaky. Like leaving my house in one outfit and changing into another at a friends house before we went out. Being a mom of a teen girls is tough and the comments on this thread prove why.


I agree. I think there are compromises that can be made without having your daughter wear "PINK" across her butt, but still allowing her to wear some of the merchandise. My 12 yr. old has been begging for some leggings from PINK and until I read this thread, I had told her absolutely not. Now that I'm seeing how rigid some of you are, however, my mind is changing. I think I will let her do what your daughter did and just pick out some normal leggings with a small or unnoticeable label. She will be happy, I will be happy, the end. So much angst over something so dumb!

Pink conjures up images of your daughter with her legs spread and showing some pink to men aged 13-100. I would never buy that for my daughter.

You are part of the problem. Your DD is being told by you that wearing certain clothing makes her at fault for something that she is absolutely not at fault with. Instead of fighting against the stereotypes you are subduing your DD's right to wear whatever she wants and act however she wants, for fear of sexist stereotypes, and that why how you propagate sexisim. Stop being part of the problem and tell your DD that she can wear whatever she wants, and other people need to change. Not her. I am tired of stupid, sexist people, and even more tired of people who act like you.


Wait, what? I'm part of the problem? 14:19 PP here. I don't even have a DD. It seems like you missed my point. Your DD should know that there are people out there who will pre-judge her based on her clothing. So have that conversation with her and discuss those sexist stereotypes and how to maturely act against them.

The only issue I have with VS is they are way too expensive and their products sucks. Nothing ever fits right and it all falls apart within a year.

I also don't know about the sluttiness....almost every man I've known has been way too embarrassed to go into a store. Even my DH won't go in to pick stuff out for me. Never heard a man say "fuck yea! VS means I'm getting laid!!"

You can believe in rainbows and unicorns all you want, but reality is that the stereotypes do exist. (NP by the way.) Is it fair? No. Is it the real world? Yes.


And on and on it goes, you tell your DD to cover up and not get drunk so she doesn't get assaulted, like it is her fault right? Why can't mothers and fathers stop this nonsense, how can you not see that you are the problem here? Why is nobody telling teen boys to cover up their arses and pull the pants over their tighty whities or they will be considered male sluts?

+100
Same as telling your child it's perfectly safe to swim in the ocean while bleeding. Can you do that? Sure. Is it safe? Definitely not. Pretty stupid to think otherwise.

this.

chicks that wore Pink in HS put out more. the strong correlation allowed us to zero in on targets and not waste time on dead ends.



Oh wow. Anyone who really believes this is full of shit
