This is what happens when you “empower” children.
I have seen my daughters in GORGEOUS floor-length dresses.
The generational thing about what my girls refer to as “Slutty McSlutslut” is not going to go away within our lifetime, I’m afraid....
It is entirely appropriate to shame sluts.
Truth died first.
True Story:
My senior prom (Class of 1970) did not have a dress code, but everybody assumed that decolletage was unacceptable.
However, the statuesque, beautiful Black girl who sat directly across from me had evidently not gotten the memo, and was wearing an exquisite peach-colored gown with a plunging sweetheart neckline.
The first course arrived, a salad with a big round cherry tomato on top.
I attempted to spear it with my fork, and it did a perfect 3-pointer right into the plunge without even hitting the rim.
Floor length gowns are beautiful, classy, and a fantastic way to get away with far less painful mid-height heels (that will allow you to dance the night away). There is nothing wrong with shoulder baring though, so long as there is no chance of things falling out that should stay covered.
The best way to end slutty-looking choices would be to clean up the style choices of so many in the entertainment industry, who are presented to these kids as fashion icons.
My daughter won’t wear a T-shirt. She would be mortified.”
I do not believe these are any longer children but if some one else is clothing and feeding the creeps they should do what they are told.
On the other hand it is sort of like a lone voice crying out of the wilderness.
A few people worried about dresses being a little low cut in a world where half of the population is clamoring for same sex marriage is about like a preacher scolding a man for using tobacco while the rest of the congregation is having a sex orgy in the next room.
Parents tart their daughters up and send them out in the world and are then shocked when they are treated as they dressed.
school function, school rules
your function, your rules
make a choice
don’t like the school rules?
parents have your own prom-
provide hotel rooms condoms and booze so your kids will think you are cool
“Slut shaming” is a meme being pushed very hard by the Left these days. They are trying to make it some sort of crime to criticize any woman’s sexual behavior, no matter WHAT they do.
Demanding boys don’t try to peek into the girls’ locker room is “perv shaming” and must be stopped!
“Some of these outfits are far too adult for kids that age… particularly the last one.”
I disagree. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with any of those dresses. Obviously, there must be standards, but those standards should be reasonable. They should also be communicated with some clarity - which apparently did not happen here until a week before prom (at which point pretty much everyone had already purchased a dress).
The problem with all of this seems to be the silly yuppie parents who treat their kids more like prized livestock more than human beings. I can remember back in the early 1990s even somebody at work telling me that at his son’s junior high school graduation, there friends of this son that apparently were wanting to rent a limo to go to the event. I also remember a few years later when my younger sister finished junior high, the school printed out a notice politely telling parents to refrain from having things like limos or expensive outfits or pre or post event parties, etc.
