The Frustration of Myself

[outerheaven]

I do think there's something to children dressing more provocatively nowadays. I mean I think there's a general societal push toward the sexualization of children. Sexuality is, after all, an extremely effective method of control over others -- all the better to start them earlier, right?

A couple years back, there was a fashion trend (at least in NYC) where women wore cut-off shorts so short that the bottom (sometimes more) of their butt-cheek was exposed.

At the height of popularity of this trend, I saw on numerous occasions young girls age 10-14 sporting this look. Shockingly, I noticed some of these girls were walking around with their families.

And not to say that I think we should have any shame in our bodies. But in a society where sexuality is so misunderstood and repressed and shamed, I think dressing like that invites danger.

To add to that, I think that when it's repressed it pops up in disturbing ways.

For sure.
