The Itty-Bitty Mini...

sometimes i wish there was a bottled up version of a modesty talk for teen girls that actually made complete sense to them...

i was in line at target today behind a slew of teen girls each waiting to purchase their very own itty-bitty mini-skirt (the kind daisy duke would have worn if she ventured out of shorts-ville). part of me was chuckling a bit in a thought of what parents were going to be saying when each one got home...and quickly another part of me was horrified that some parents may not say a thing...

it is just so depressing to me...the number of girls who think they have to sexualize themselves to get attention from guys. and depressing how, at the same time, we enculturate boys to actually believe that a seductively dressed girl is the "hot" they should be going for...

i'm just tired of how much we allow and in an indirect way, train our girls to be "bait" rather than the expressions of beauty that they were made to be.

i'm definitely not into the paper sac mode of dress that some claim to actually help the male porn problem. the uber-modesty plan is a farce in my book. no, i'm all for the expression of the feminine form. but, i draw the line at clothing that's designed to make a woman into a worm on a hook.

you know what else that tells me??...how little we've made the sexuality of a woman. to sum it up in cleavage and curves??? wow, i hope i'm not ever viewed that "small". the feminine sexuality is far more valuable and mysterious and wonderful than an itty-bitty mini could ever reveal. and in my book...true feminine sexuality is way more hot than any daisy duke ever dreamed of.

i'm just sayin'...
