“If I could do it again, I wouldn’t even have slept with my own husband before marriage. Sex is the most powerful thing there is, and our generation, what did we know?”
Exactly right
I don't.
You can usually find decent (ie, modest) clothing on ebay and bonanza.com. Especially the retro swimsuits, they’re very attractive. Wider choice of styles than you’ll find in most stores, and often better construction too.
The author seems not to understand that the corset was personal torture in the service of generating male lust. Think of it as a Victorian equivalent of 4-inch heels.
That would be impossible. He wouldn't have been your husband before marriage.
skanks raising sluts,
who saw that coming?
Oh wait
I see women who are old enough to be grandmothers and dressed like teen age trollops.
Never trust anyone over thirty. That was the mantra of the 60’s generation. Now that they are all pushing 60 they find out how really stupid they were.........
Yep.
Boobs are everywhere! What used to be reserved for the occasional cocktail dress is now everyday wear, even on TV anchors, day and night. What these women don't seem to get is that by making cleavage omnipresent, it becomes . . . well omnipresent. I.e., part of the background. Ho Hum.
Feminists and liberals completely missed the fact that by making sex ubiquitous, to the point of literally shoving it in kids' faces from an early age and 24/7, they would completely empty it, not only of any emotional meaning, but even of any ability to titilate. That is why the constant exposure to pornography, at whatever level, eventually leads to the requirement for more and more perversion to achieve the initial response. It used to be a wondrous thing to -- finally! -- see your loved one's naked body. Now . . . so what. A few decades ago I was travelling in Denmark and amazed at the nude magazine covers that were everywhere, say at newstands at the train station. I asked a Danish friend if people weren't at all concerned about how such constant exposure to sex and nudity (which, essentially, is what we are exposed to in our culture today---women really do often wear very little clothes) might affect the children. My friend's response was something along the lines of "by letting kids see nudity from an early age, they'll be less curious about it and less turned on by it later." Like . . . that's a good thing? Emotionally dulling is a good thing? But that's where we are. It's quaint to think of our mothers saying "leave something to the imagination" -- but how right they were.
For grins I googled "prom dress pictures 2011" and almost all I saw looked pretty classy. A few fell into the slutware category, but a girl would have to be looking for it.
I didn’t let my daughters dress like that-not when they were 2 or 12 or teens. There is something to be said for developing a sense of modesty at an early age.
In the words of Boomer icon Holden Caulfield: Sleep tight, ya morons!
In 2002 my daughter was getting Confirmed and graduating from 8th grade and needed two modest outfits. We spent virtually an entire day at the local mall searching for ANYTHING! We finally found a dress with spaghetti straps with a jacket and a sweater and skirt combination. I was shocked at how little was available even then that was appropriate. Wish I’d thought about a thrift store then!!
Because if we don’t let them dress that way, they will kick out ass.
"We", knew better, that's what we knew.
We’ve lost any sense of modesty or propriety in this country. I see sloppy bare dress even in church. True, God wants us to show up for worship but there is no longer a sense of respect or honor. Is it out of ignorance or just not caring?
Take a look at the People of Walmart site to see what I mean. Or the so-called “First Lady.” We’ve lost our minds.
We have a 17 yr old daughter. We have always just said, “no”. She knows what we allow and what we don’t.
Their bodies, themselves. Women’s lib - coming to a country near you.
I have to step back from time to time and admit I admire the Muslims’ take on this whole matter.
Good article! I don’t think girls need to be trudging around looking like Mennonites on a bad snood day, but fer pete’s sake...what I see teenagers and pre-teens wearing here in my tourist town is practically something that should be on a pole-dancer poster outside a XXX place on 42nd Street. Well, the old grungy 42nd Street, aka, porno central.
And their attitude towards themselves is obviously that if they haven’t been sleeping around since they were 12 or 13, they’re not really successful as females. I think a lot of this comes from white-promoted rap and rap videos and the desire of whites to be “hip” in black terms, which means having absolutely no moral standards and living on looks alone.
As Jesse Jackson said in one of his early lucid moments, what goes around comes around. White promoters cynically promoted the worst elements of the black environment, leading to a black world where women are “ho’s” or nothing, and leading to a white world which wants to emulate it, and now we’re all, black and white, wondering what the heck is going on and how we’re going to regain our sanity and our lives.
And of course our limp, dysfunctional Christian and Jewish religious “leaders” have nothing to say.
