History of Feminism

If adult women want to display how lovely they are, why should they not do so? I'm not talking about porn, here, or about strippers, but about celebrities who dress to "show off" their bodies. They are, indeed, lovely and we don't want to go back to the Victorian era where women's bodies were something to be assiduously hidden from view.

On the other hand for young girls to see that and take it as an indication to use their bodies as an asset... Yes, you make a very good point.

That, I think is where the parent or mentor is vital in any child's life; male child or female child. "What role does one's body play in one's life?" is a question that children of both genders need to learn to answer, and leaving them on their own to learn it from their peers, who don't have any better answer to that question than they do, or from television shows, or from aping the actions of celebrities is where the problem lies. The role model needs to lie a lot closer to home.

Celebrities, be they females dressing revealingly or males leaving a trail of beaten women and illegitimate children, are not the role models from which our children should be taking their clues, but absent adequate parenting that is precisely what happens.
