Self-respect and self-esteem are paramount and young women should not be made to feel immodest by judgmental people just because they have a postivie self-image but conversely I think it is unwise to assume a girl who wears less clothing has a postive self-image. Perhaps she's seeking that self-esteem through her choice in clothing. Perhaps she's trying to test the limits of her parents or outright rebeling. All I know is that it is statistically significant to note that those parents that are involved in their children's choices, be it dress, under-age drinking, or drugs, can and do improve their chances for success."Either evolution or intelligent design can account for the athlete, but neither can account for the sports fan." - Robert Brault

There's tremendous power in feeling sexy. One of the basic fundamentals of humanity is the desire to be desired (Kojeve & Cheap Trick). People can dress sexy because they need to feel it. I'll counsel my kids to dress modestly for their own reasons and benefit, not as a way to keep eyes at bay, for there ain't no way to hide her from pryin' eyes. Comfort in clothing choices is one of my mantras."Yeah, but never trust a Ph.D who has an MBA as well. The PhD symbolizes intelligence and discipline. The MBA symbolizes lust for power." -- Katy Lied

Otherwise, no it isn't her shoulders that do something for you, it is that she is attempting to appear suggestive and happens to be wearing a shirt off her shoulders.

How about this one, Jay? Immodest?
Ankles and shoulders. That is a deadly combo."There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right? Those folks are just intolerable."

Originally posted by Mrs. Funk View PostI think we also have to be careful not to assume that a young woman is wearing a tank top because she has low self-esteem. And allowing a young woman to have some flexibility in her clothing choices is different than being totally uninvolved and lackadaisical in parenting, not to mention the obvious difference between doing drugs and wearing a tank top."Either evolution or intelligent design can account for the athlete, but neither can account for the sports fan." - Robert Brault

Originally posted by SandYFan View PostI agree completely. How far does that go, however? Are breasts inherently sexual?
So yes, according to David Brent, boobs are inherently sexual.I told him he was a goddamn Nazi Stormtrooper.

I have three girls. They wear whatever they feel comfortable in. I don't envision that changing as they get older.Dio perdona tante cose per un’opera di misericordia

Modesty and fashion are important in that it sends social queues to other people about what kind of a person you are. So I wouldn't want my teenage daughters dressing slutty because I wouldn't want others to assume they're slutty and treat them that way. Who defines all that? Unfortunately society does. There's no eternal principle here. It's a societal rule.
Little girls wearing sun dresses? Give me a freaking break.

Originally posted by SoCalCoug View PostHell, our 15-year-old wears bikinis (just not to church stuff). My wife says something about shorts if her butt cheeks are showing, but we're pretty lax about "modesty" in dress. I guess we just don't see a big deal in bare mid-thighs and shoulders. I think our culture's "modesty" standards are pretty arbitrary.
