Your Little Girls Are Wearing What???
By Jack Lee
According to a recent Washington Post article, the following statements were the most popular on the chests of tee shirts designed for teenage girls: "Weapons of Mass Distraction", "Trust Me...I'm Single", "Don't Call Me a Cowgirl Until You See Me Ride", "I Know What Boys Want", "Yes, But Not With U", "Your Boyfriend Is a Good Kisser", "Two Boys for Every Girl", "Single and Ready to Mingle", "Flirting My Way to the Top" and "I'm Too Hot to Handle."
These tee shirts are supposed to be funny but I can't believe they are not having an effect on girls who are too young too understand the double entandras or veiled meanings asking for sex. Sadly, it's just another bi-product of the sex-driven fashion industry and their co-conspirators in Hollywood. They are over sexualizing our youngest culture and it becomes dangerous when it reaches down to our pre-teens.
Victoria has no Secret in this new culture because it's all on display in the mall. And what's the net effect on young girls and boys? Ruined lives and children born out of wedlock. Now we have a certain status among teens based on promiscuity symbols. Our children are at risk as they are forced to grow up too fast in only one area as they leave judgement and innocence behind in the rest.
