ParticipantLet me guess: the ones who “don’t see a problem” don’t have kids, right?
Yeah, there is a problem here. I don’t know why some adults insist on sexually objectifying young girls. It seems to be everywhere — in fashion, music, TV, movies, etc. The entertainment industry was never really about “morals” or treating people with dignity. Whatever their “art” demands is what happens, no matter the consequences.
Sorry the coaches at your daughter’s dance studio seem so unconcerned. As long as your daughter doesn’t have to perform any of these numbers, it might not matter overly much; but you know it’s only a matter of time before she will want to join them.
I’m with flu…martial arts all the way! π

Normally, I’m pretty open minded, but there are a couple of things I’m going to see if I can make it very unappealing to my daughter if i can.
1. Dance that objectify women.. Ballet is fine, hell even hip-hop is fine…Ballroom dance is fine…Hell, even the Salsa is fine….Stuff like this isn’t fine (for me)…
2. Cheerleading…Sorry, I don’t get why the fvck boys go off to football camp while girls go to cheerleading camp. That’s just bullshit. WTF do girls need to cheer boys? Hell, there’s going to be a shortage of girls, with the current population in some cultures intentionally trying not to have girls, boys better do some major ass-kissing in the future if they are gonna get any… Sorry, I’m going to make sure my girl grows up thinking this is just bullshit.
3. Barbie bimbo…I have yet to see CEO Barbie. Doctor Barbie. Ken can go fvck himself. I already got this one figured out…Let her hang out more with her aunties that are great examples, especially the one that’s on cnbc and the other auntie-in-law that runs a doctor clinic.
Yes sir, when my kid gets old enough, she’s it’s gonna be
martial arts, firearms training, snow skiing/snowboarding, atv’s, motorcycles, and Skip Barber racing school…I’ll throw in piano, golf, swimming, painting, tennis lessons if she’s interested. Crap, time to save more money….April 6, 2010 at 6:13 AM #536118Coronita

ParticipantFLU: Damn, FLU, don’t hold back! Tell us what you really think!
I have a pre-teen daughter and she rides competitively and does martial arts (Taekwondo). Fortunately for us, she’s something of a tomboy, so the cheer and dance thing never really interested her. It is interesting to note, however, how her personality is very different from those girls in cheer and dance. The same goes for her “barn buddies”, those she rides competitively with. They are more confident, more assertive and more driven, and in both academics and athletics.
One of my player’s younger sisters was on the beauty pageant circuit, starting at four years of age (no, that’s not a typo). The mom, who was something of a freak in her own right, used to raise money at football practices and games to help defray travel and pageant costs. She’d set up a table and do the bake sale thing and have pictures of her daughter (who was now seven or eight) in these various get-ups, some of which were, to me at least, very suggestive. When I commented on this one time, she looked at me as though I were some kind of pervert and snapped that this was they how they dressed in order to win.
I played football in high school and my recollections seem to hold true today: The cheerleaders were all pretty ditzy and shallow and petty. However, most of the female jocks I knew (softball, volleyball and field hockey) tended to excel in both academics and athletics and had far better self esteem.
Just my $.02.
