You may have noticed that many young women wear less, and more sexually provocative, clothing in public than they did a generation, or even 10 years, ago. It is easier to notice, however, than to explain.

Textiles are more expensive, and they didn't want to support sweatshops.

Global warming.

Some people wash it, some people air it.

Who could resist hundred and sixty five pounds of sexy female plumbers butt?

They are just trying to smoke out the Taliban. (Look for the guy who picks up the rock).

All that fabric irritates the belly-button piercings.

If ya got it flaunt it!

Same sized clothes, bigger girls.

The better to show off the tatoos....

and last, but not least, It is Bush's fault

Reseach needs to be done on why women/mothers dress their young daughters as Britney wannabes. Are they trying to market them in a way that they themselves can't be marketed any longer?

Go and look around any national chain department store and you will see why. There is almost nothing non-trashy and feminine for young women to wear. There was more femininity in a parochial school uniform than what you find on the racks.

I've learned because I won't dress in a provactive manner that I'll have to make sure I have other qualities/things that a man wants. Men are very visual and as much as we women hate that, it's a proven fact :-)

My four year old grand daughter has more innate feminity than most more mature women 15 to 20 years her senior. How? It is not based on make-up or sex, she is just a girl. She swirls her skirts, has a gigawatt smile, and tremendous dark eyes--and knows how to express herself with a glance. Why? She hasn't had to worry about what is "cool" yet, hasn't been programmed to be "sexy" by MTV or any other media outlet, she just acts naturally.

Reminds me of her grandma...:^)

That's so nice... it's also the reason why liberals want to infest schools at a younger and younger age. Innocence attracts a lot of sleaze.

Yeah, that explains about how they look.

The guys of that age wear their pants so loose, you can give them a reverse wedgie, and pull their pants to the ground.

There is a lot of prairie out here, plenty of room to stake out sleazebags for hungry coyotes.....

North Dakota? Hey that's so nice land. Isn't that the part of the US that they call 'God's Country'? Anyway, I worry about little girls and perverts (male and female). A strong MALE rolemodel is important for a little girl so she knows what a real man is as opposed to the future BJ Clintons of the world.

Funny, but everywhere I have gone, someone there has thought it as God's Country. For which I am grateful, or they'd all be on my doorstep!

I like it, despite the winters, Western North Dakota has been a good place to grow up, and (so far) grow older.

One of the advantages of small town living is that everyone looks out for everyone else's kids, and you know who does not belong in the neighborhood..

It is amazing how simple life becomes when you need only ask yourself how your parents/grandparents would react. She lives with us,(her grandparents), and has since infancy, no problem with the male role model, and her grandma is a strong woman as well (has to be to put up with me). She is a neat kid, walked before she crawled (watch out!), at nine months, and has been on the go ever since. I could write about her all night, but I'll refrain. Typical grandpa, I guess.

Oddly, no, between oil rigs and motorcycles, (and little girls with water hoses), pictures don't last long. My computer is bulging at the seams, though, and her image is on the desktop of the one I work with every day on the rigs. We have a total of 12 grandkids, just one picture of each in my wallet for a day would be a guaranteed visit to the chiropractor...and you can't leave any of them out.

All else aside, they, their ideas and character, are what we bequeath the world. None of the rest really matters, it is just stuff. They are a blessing indeed.

I have seen home-schooled kids and kids the cool kids think are dorks or unattractive keep that sort of mindset all the way into adulthood. It's a beautiful thing to see someone who doesn't feel the need the serve their sexuality up on a platter for every person they meet.

This applies to boys and men who don't feel the need to constantly declare their sexual prowess to the world.

"Thus, many women are now saying: "I am a woman. And I will declare it in one of the only ways left to me -- I will show you my female body."

That might work a wee bit better without the tattoos, belly button rings, and the rest of the 'female body decor' that contributes to the display.
