Comments on: Why Do We Dress Our Daughters Like Skanks?

The sixties culture brought with it radical feminism (a real headache), a hatred of men, a belief that all adult sex is violence, a hatred of marriage, a hatred of child-rearing, drugs, divorce, materialism, promiscuity, etc. The root causes lie in modern culture, radical feminism, family breakdown and the insistence of everybody's right to do whatever they want at other people's expence (e.g. some guy right to drink and drive, to assault a woman while drunk and blaming it on alcohol). This kind of pathological thinking goes on and on. There is a reason why sixteen-year-old girls come home pregnant and infected with hepatitis and herpes. Perhaps if their mothers would stop dressing like that themselves and spend less time at clubs and more at home (same for workaholic neglectful fathers who cheat on their wives), things might change. Things didn't go wrong because parents sipped wine while listening to jazz and rock music and the dinner cooked in the stove while the wives looked over samples of wallpaper and fabric for a cocktail dress. They went wrong because nobody was there. Everybody learned in the sixties to care only abou themselves and it has been that way ever since, only getting worse and worse. I don't care if women want a career, but they can work and also be mothers. If they don't want kids, they shouldn't have them. It is ridiculous to accept the argument that one can have kids and hate them, when abortion and birth control are available. Some women are just lousy parents. Some men are deadbeat dads. Deal with that and don't worry about advertising. Somebody has to buy that stuff, namely, the parent, who also allows the girls to attend schools without dress codes and drives them to work and school in that garish prostitute clothing. Not surprising. Leave adult activities to an adult world.

While I am also a bit concerned about the hyper sexuality of my daughter, i would rather see healthy expressions of her sexuality and femininity then be repressed by the feminist extremists who are forcing girls and women to reject their feminist selves. Let's not teach our daughters that being a feminine or sexual being is something to be ashamed of. Political correctness should not force boys to be girls, or girls to apologize for being attractive.

CONT: … How its cool to be a pimp or a bitch. Im pretty sure it wasnt like this even 15 years ago. If you really search for something bad, you will definitely find it. Even something much worse than dressing our daughters as "skanks". Sure our kids are more aware of sexuality now than ever before, but its all about raising them right, raising them aware of all these things. The world is changing, its always going to be, but its up to us to raise our children properly. So instead of wasting time on letting people know how appalling the world is, or how skanky young girls are dressing, do something about it; keep your kids on a short leash.

While it is appalling at times that these sort of things are becoming more common every day, I dont fully agree with what you have to say. Yeah, its become acceptible to dress kids like that, but so what? Look around you, the world is changing. Even adults didnt dress the way they do now twenty or thirty years ago. Also, I dont know where you come from, but kids around here (sf bay area, california) couldnt care less about Bratz dolls. How can we not feel revultion you say? Just open your eyes and take a look around you, there are many, MANY things out there you can feel revultion to, but do you? This isnt any different. What about the teenage boys who carry guns because their favorite rapper talks about it. Or just the society of young people today and the acceptance of promiscuity…

I remember your article from way back when I snagged you as one of our ‘poppa picks’ so thought I’d get a man’s take on this oh-so-trashy new online game “Miss Bimbo” in the smut/strut/slut category of teaching kids toxic body image/behavioral cues.

My question for critical thinking skills is essentially this…should we (as parents/bloggers) hush and avoid any buzz on it, or skewer mighty pens? Opinion from a dad’s POV?
Here’s the post on Shaping Youth questioning whether ‘Bimbo’ is Baiting us for ‘reaction?’

Excellent article. I’m not a parent, but I don’t envy those of you who are who have to combat the tidal wave of trash engulfing kids and society today. What happened to childhood being a time of innocence? Furthermore, who makes all of these moronic skank celebrities famous?

Aside from being damaging to our kids, this garbage insults anyone with even moderate intelligence. You’d think people would finally get bored with it.

We need to reclaim our culture.

I think we share the same brain.
I just wrote a huge thing about this concerning obscene Halloween costumes geared to tweens and teenagers.

I wonder what kind of parent would allow this?

I think that all the industries are setting out to make a profit by selling raped cloths to the innocent young girls and the economy it self does not care what the consequences are!!

I couldnt have said it better..When did we start letting pedophiles decide on fashion for children. Fathers who let their children dress like that need a good kick in the stones and mothers that allow it should realize that they are now Mothers and not to live vicariously through their children. How dangerous a parent can be!

[...] As much as I hate the word “skank” and the way it simple rolls off your tongue, I have to say the way some of our parents allow our children to dress is absolutely unacceptable. Stop dressing your daughters like SKANKS. And your sons… give the poor kid a belt whether they want the pants worn around the crack of their ass or not. [...]

You might be one of those who let their daughters dress like “skanks, but I’m not.
Trick is to be trict and explain the troubles that can be caused.
Explain that there are a bunch of 40 year old virgin perverts lurking around every corner waiting for a young prey.
