I agree with you. I simply explain that everybody has an opportunity to show class or a lack of class.

As I told my daughter at 11, there are a lot of good looking dumb broads out there who rely on looks and enticement for attraction. Develop your brain and make your candy something special to a special person; don’t make every day like Halloween and hand it out for popularity.

It’s all in how you frame it. Like I said earlier, in my experience, the people that have issues with these ads actually have inner issues that they need to deal with themselves, but instead project their insecurities onto everyone else.

“I simply explain that everybody has an opportunity to show class or a lack of class.”

I take those opportunities to talk with my kids (my two young girls especially) about body image mostly - it’s not what you are on the outside, it’s what you are on the inside, and also about modesty, respect for your own body, etc. And they are both good looking young girls.

And that goes both ways. My one daughter and I are in a new hobbie where the folks are a bit out of our normal dealings - goofy colored hair, numerous tattoos and body piercings. But real nice folks! (”Yes dear, they ARE really nice folks aren’t they. However, that still doesn’t make it okay for you to have a tattoo - at least while living under my roof!” Not that she’s ever asked. Yet. She’s 11.)
