OT: Is it just me or is this really sleezy?

I agree with everyone who dislikes this. The director of the dance group could make much better choices.

I agree as well. Very telling that the opinions of those of us who have kids think this is inappropriate. I have two young lads and if I had a daughter I would not have her in this. She would be with the boys at karate and sports camp. To the OP we also do things like take the kids down to Penasquitos canyon alot and to the beach. I think there are other dance studios that are a bit more tasteful as well. Agree with your stance.

I think boys tend to get objectified as little macho men too,mostly via the national sports obsession with its connection to agression and warfare and dim witted patriotism. I happened to be visiting a household with cable service this weekend( I have never had it). We were watching the NCAA games. The commercials for the military use the identification with athletic “heroes” to recruit people to also become “heroes”, like the atheletes, by joing the navy, army, AF, marines. Yeah right, that will do it.

We had one dad on our soccer team whose kid wanted to sign up for after school gardening. The father told my wife it was too sissified/underacheiver for him.

I like sports but I think it is completely blown out of proportion.

There is an article on in a recent Christian Science Monitor on America’s obsession with sports . I think they treated the phenomena with kid gloves.

Good points on cheerleading too,flu.

Speaking of kids, sort of hijack. I have a question for parents. Maybe it’s just me, I notice one difference between girls and boys growing up.

See, what I’m seeing is that if boys don’t like each other, they get kinda physical and start pushing each other around or hitting each other. When girls (inclusive of my kid) don’t like each other, they start saying stuff like “I’m not going to be your friend/we’re not going to talk to you.”… Is that consistent with what other parents see?

Second, whenever boys starts pushing my daughter around, she always asks tell me “XYZ pushed me around”. My response has been, “tell me when you get home….Tell him stop. If that doesn’t work, yell at him to stop…If that doesn’t work and you’re bigger than him, push him back. If you’re smaller than him, and he doesn’t stop go find a teacher.” Anything wrong with that? I understand girls might be wired differently, but certainly don’t want my kid growing up with a wussie mentality.
