Sexualize your daughters? At what age?

[James]

You are misintepreting.

I wrote: "But my qustion is when do you start dressing your daughter up in such a way that they become sex objects to males?"

This is a reality check, if you allow them to dress in a revealing fashion wearing make-up like a grown woman, they are going to be viewed in a sexual way by males.

You seem to be saying, and correct me if I am wrong, that as a mom your daughter should be able ro dress and wear make-up in a way that is perceived as sexuall provacative without anyone looking at them in a sexual manner.

I don't think thats realistic. Thats like if girls that got upset if you looked at their ass even thoughn their was writing on it.

Cuaphi, why is the thread title odd? When you dress your daughter in a way that society deems sexual, you are sexualizing your daughter.

These are really two different questions -- you're asking (1) when should you start dressing your daughter as a sex object and (2) when should you allow her to wear makeup or dress in revealing clothes. The first question, along with the question "Sexualize your daughters?" is, frankly, just creepy, and not at all the same as the second question.

Anyway, on the bra strap issue, I don't think bra straps are a big deal at all. There's nothing inherenly "naughty" about them.
