This is from an article about grade schoolers wearing bikinis:
"Siobhan Freegard, founder of the community Netmums told the Daily Mail that she knows "a number of mothers who are concerned about the sexualization of their children and would be horrified by their daughters dressing like mini-strippers."
And, their concerns are validated by science. A recent study found that girls as young as 6 thin...

k of themselves as sex objects and want to be considered sexy. In an earlier study,Psychologists named clothing as a factor that encourages these youngsters to objectify themselves. This research was particularly disturbing given that 'almost a third of girls' clothing for sale at 15 major retailers [had] sexualizing characteristics."
Knight told Sky News that Hurley shouldn't take all of the blame now. Rather, the fashion industry should stop making clothes for kids that are so adult-like.
Jen M.L., a mother of two who blogs at 'People I Want To Punch In The Throat' agrees on that front. In a HuffPost blog, Jen says she is 'horrified' by clothing selections when she takes her 4-year-old daughter shopping. She recounts a specific Easter shopping trip when 'there were several dresses that looked like they should come with a complimentary pole and hooker heels!' But, Jen doesn't blame the industry entirely. She also writes that consumers -- parents specifically -- should stop buying and supporting the production of such items. "If we'd just stop buying this misogynistic whore-wear maybe companies would stop trying to sell it to us."

My take on this cultural issue:
viewed. If your daughter sees that you view women as sex objects, she will most likely expect men to view her the same way. Step up and lead with courage and love...tell the world, not with my daughter!
Moms, help him by being the example of how a lady looks and acts...to be honored and respected. The only person you should even want to sexually entice, is your husband. Don't teach your daughters that sexual attention equals love and approval.
This applies to single parents as well. Divorce doesn't end responsibility.
