About time someone protested!

well....at least you're right about one thing. :roll:

 

Now that everybodys' panties are in a wad... I gotta go with with Clif on this one. Very inappropriate for anyone other than an adult. My daughter just turned 14 and I danged sure not ever hear tell of her wearing anything like that!!! (Or her 12 year old brother, for that matter !!! ) When they are adults, they can wear what they please, but 'till then...

 

Yeah, I might be going against the grain here, but I wouldn't be buying them either. At the moment, I am thankging the heavens I don't have a teenage daugher.

 

:shock:Now that would be REAL cute..............I can see it now. Of course the excuse could be that they were being looked at to purchase as a gift. :neutral:

 

This just takes the cake . . .from the original link about this:

"There's nothing quite like telling adolescent girls that they don't need to worry about finances since they have their very own moneypot between their legs," Jessica Valenti, the executive editor of Feministing.com, wrote on the panty blog post.


I wish it was a moneypot.

 

Pray for me, I will 2.

 

You poor thing!! God knew what he was doing when he gave me a boy. :mrgreen:

 

Please see my post HERE.

 

Heroin vs one liners on panties.... hmmmmmm

NO COMPARISON.

Just because a teenager is wearing them does not mean she is showing them to everyone....or that she is promiscuous.

 

I tell ya it amazes me how people interpret words on say, a pair of panties, and fight and argue and banter back and forth and take that word, on those panties so seriously, then go into any store and buy a pack of cigarettes with the words on the side (and just knowing they will kill ya, without reading the words) and defend that. Or buy a box of twinkies and read the side and all those words and still buy that, yet ignore the words knowing that everything in it is not good and has been proven that over time will kill you. So I say we each get to proceed in this life as normal and choose which words we decide to ignore.


word

 

I agree on both.

no PINK
no daughters

amen.

 

It's amazing how parents of daughters and parents of sons think totally different.

I know I thought quite a bit different b/f baby girl came along. Now...it's a totally different story.

 

I have 2 daughters and one will be a teenager in 2 short years

 

WOW! I looked in on this thread a while ago and there were only 3 posts...now...:shock:

Sorry ladies, I'm gonna have to agree with Clif here. Clif, I totally DO understand what you mean. My 14yo DD would not be wearing this at all. BTW, she wears ladies sizes (tall and thin, just a big framed girl like Mom), but that doesn't mean I'm gonna buy her some of the sexy ladies sized panties. Bottom line, Kids have no business wearing any clothing that insenuates something of a sexual nature IMO.

I don't think it is trivial to be concerned about it either. Why do I care that this is being marketed to kids when I know that my kids are not gonna get it you ask. How about this...I have two SONS as well. I worry about the kind of things they will face out there as teens in a world where many parents allow their girls to go to school dressed like a lap dancer and the boys with their boxers hanging out.

As far as I am concerned, if I ran up on the FRONT of those panties in Wmart, I'd have beed shocked too since it was in the department I often shop for my daughters in. It might as well say....who needs credit cards when you have a, well, I don't say that word, but I think you know what I mean. Yes, the back says the Santa thing, but that does not keep the front from insenuating something naughty.

Adults...sure - have at it. No problem with that. Kids, teens....no way.

 

This is probably true.... I don't care if girls wear them

but if my son came home and told me he was dated a girl that wore these.....

Oh hell no! LOL

 

Or, if you son came home wearing a pair of those . . .


just kidding!!!!

 

LOLOL....:shock::shock:

 

I guess I just don't see the big deal on this whole issue. Maybe my sense of humor is getting in the way here. Anyway, I don't think that makes me a bad parent so I can live with it.

 

It's like the old joke...
Man goes up to a woman at the bar and says, "Would you have sex with me for ten million dollars?" The woman answers, "Sure!". He then says, "How about for twenty?" She replies, "What do you think I am?" He says, "We've already established that, now we're negotiating the price."

It's a matter of degree. I believe putting sexually suggestive comments on underwear is dangerous to children. If you don't, then I feel there is something wrong with that attitude and I will say something.

No, but allowing it is giving them the belief that it is acceptable behavior.

 

Mines not that old yet but I do not see the big deal either. If she's under 15 nobody but her is suppose to see them and maybe who ever does the wash.


Do you all have a problem with bikini's at the beach on children?
