[quote=flu][quote=CA renter]Let 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.

It really bothers me to see young children in clothing more appropriate to teenagers or young adults. I’m not a prude either. I don’t have a problem with my daughter or her boyfriend modeling for life drawing classes.
[quote=flu]I’m with flu…martial arts all the way! ;)[/quote]
Huge fan of martial arts training. My 14 old old niece has been taking Taekwondo (sp?)since she was 7. I think the martial arts offer a lot more benefits than dance. Respect, discipline, perseverance, achieving goals, self confidence and best of all learning to defend yourself. It could save her life one day. Unfortunately it wasn’t in my budget when my kids were growing up so it’s mace and mini tasers for them.
[quote=flu]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.[/quote]
Just get her involved in other things when she is younger.
[quote=flu]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)…[/quote]
You don’t ever want to see what goes on at high school dances.
[quote=flu]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.[/quote]
I have been telling my husband for years there will be a shortage of girls there and when that happens maybe they will learn to value them.
[quote=flu]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.[/quote]
Actually Barbie does it all, she’s a doctor, an astronaut, a NASCAR driver, a dentist, a ballerina, a vet, an Airforce pilot, she ran for president, she’s even a mermaid and a ballerina too. Ken’s a eunuch, he won’t be doing anybody. Anyway, Barbie is out. Kids love those little hoochie Brat dolls with the big lips and no noses.
