I agree that the clothing out there in the girl...GIRLS...section of clothing stores is uncomfortably inappropriate, and I have been privy to some astounding conversations being held by middle-school students.

It's a pretty small step from encouraging girls' modesty so they won't titillate the boys to making women cover their heads or wear burkas so that they won't inflame men's passions. The same rationale of men being unable to control themselves lies behind both. I wrote about something along these lines awhile ago when I wrote about how "purity balls" for fathers and daughters encourage girls and women to bear the sole burden of being the sexual gatekeepers, rather than expecting boys and men to take responsibility for themselves.<br /><br />I saw a book at Barnes and Noble today called Packaging Girlhood: Rescuing Our Daughters from Marketers' Schemes that I have to pick up sometime - it discusses how little girls' clothing is sexualized and lots of other interesting issues I need to prepare myself for.kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07964409227553670322noreply@blogger.com
