Eh- the feminism thing would take forever to type, lets just say I feel that feminism is more or less causally unrelated to what James was asking.
My daughter will pretty much be allowed to wear what she wants, once she's old enough to understand the consequences of portraying yourself a certain way. (I'm thinking around the age of 16.) But she'll never go out of the house with her ass hanging out of her skirt, or wearing a see through shirt, whether she's 12 or 30. I'd hope that among other things, I'll teach her how to dress. There are sexy/attractive clothes, and stripper/trashy clothes. My daughter will know the difference. Along that same vein, she'll wear appropriate clothes to church and family functions, whether she's the stereotypical prom queen or a goth. If she's overweight or stick skinny, she won't be styling clothes 3 sizes too small for her. Again, it's just the concept of wearing what's appropriate.
That being said, if I saw my 13 y.o. (you know, "junior high"er) with a belly button ring, I'd rip it out.
