“girls don’t have inherently sexual bodies, just let them wear shorts and tank tops when it’s hot out!”
Yes of course but also let’s acknowledge that there’s a reason that teenage girls are wearing shorts cut so short that the pockets hang out and tank tops cut so low that her bra is visible
There’s a reason that teenage girls are wearing these things and not teenage boys. There’s a reason that it’s next to impossible to find thigh-and-knee-length shorts for girls. There’s a reason that girls are shamed for “looking like a lesbian” when they dress modestly. There’s a reason that teenage girls are meant to expose as much skin as possible in the clothing they buy and it’s because GROWN MEN who design the clothes are INTENTIONALLY creating clothing and marketing sexualized clothing to CHILDREN.
GROWN MEN run the fashion industry and decide the trends and looks and styles of clothing for CHILDREN and for some children it’s comfortable, cut to fit well, designed to show some personality and reflect the wearer’s interest and for some children it’s skintight, ripped, cropped, low-cut, low-riding, and designed to show as much skin and body shape as possible
No little girl grows up wanting to go to school wearing shorts that are slightly bigger than her underwear. It’s GROWN MEN deciding this for her because that’s what they want to see. That’s what grown men have deemed acceptable and appropriate for teenage girls.
adulthood is like….I’m trying to get back into the concept of having hobbies
gay people: historically, we’ve always existed.
