Soooo. I was on www.tinypic.com looking for a pic for StarAnnice. I searched "Chewbacca" and this is one of the pics that came up. What are they, 13? The one on the right looks like she's not even sure what she's doing! Klassy.
2 ETAs: 1. sorry for the size. Not sure how to scale down someone else's pic. 2. I realize that they're kids and they are just playing and their moms probably had no clue they were taking this pic let alone posting it online. I'm more saying that I'm disappointed that girls this young know what this is. When I was that age, boys were yucky, I had bandaids on my knees and the most offensive hand gesture I knew was my old Italian grandpa's sign for "stick it where the sun don't shine". The times they are a-changin'.
Re: Wow. Where are these girls' mothers? (offensive PIP)
that is so sad
Its not just the hand gesture I find offensive/scary...its the way they're dressed too. The combo is just....disturbing. Damn.
I knew what this *** was at that age, or maybe I was closer to 13/14 when I started learning this stuff. But really, I would never have taken a picture like this! If you did you were considered a slut and sluts were still a bad thing back then, LOL!
This. All the girls shorts have their a** cheeks hanging out these days. DH and I always look at each other and he always says "my 12 yr old daughter will not be allowed to dress like that".
For real. When DH found out we were Team Blue, he said "Good. Now I only have one **** to worry about instead of all the **** in the neighborhood" (This, of course, was not the first thing out of his mouth at the u/s LOL). However, I'm worried about our boys, too. Is THIS what Dez will have to choose from? Will he think he's expected to like this behavior? Yikes!
Typically, boys get sexual at younger ages then girls do...so in my experiences, its usually the boys (some older) that make the girls feel they have to be this way to be considered "cool".
It is kind of a cycle, though. When girls are putting themselves out there like that, it makes it more difficult to teach a boy to respect women.
A couple of years ago, there was a 15 year old girl in a nearby city who was sleeping around. She wrote down all of her conquests in a notebook her parents found. The parents pressed charges against all of the boys in the book, 17 and 18 year olds. Their names are now on the sex offenders list for life, but absolutely nothing happened to the slutty little girl.
This. I saw a cute Cottonelle commerical today with a beige Lab puppy being pampered. Well, it was cute until he was being groomed and said. "I look sexy." WHAT??
