Terrific article by Mona Charen -- she hits the nail right on the head. The callowness, blindness and outright stupidity of so many in our culture is sometimes staggering. We not only tolerate, but we sometimes encourage, girls to dress and act like tramps, and then we're outraged when they do so, or when boys treat them that way.
Like I said, Mona Charen nails this point in her article here. Check out this excerpt:
Do you allow your pre-teen daughters to wear T-shirts with suggestive messages? Well, plenty of parents do. Just stroll through any clothing store catering to the younger set, and you will find "Hottie" and "Sexy" on shirts too small to fit anyone older than 12. Bare midriffs are marketed to girls as young as 7 and 8. I don't have daughters; I have sons. But I hate for them to be living in such a coarse society.
