@downtide On the other hand I (hope) I raised my daughter to not be ashamed or embarrassed by the human body If it were your daughter who wanted to be in a bikini styled like that because many other gals at the swim party was, what would be the verdict?
I don’t get why allowing your kids to see someone wearing a skimpy bikini is less acceptable than allowing them to watch all kinds of horrible violence. IMO the US being much of its history a very pro gun nation violence by the gun was a regular part of TV; cowboys shooting Indians, soldiers shooting Germans or Japanese, and later shooting at the evil Commies. Shooting people has always been more palatable than sex even most seem sex crazy.
@cazzie but I’ve kind of adopted the Scandinavian attitude for things. At the end of the evenings, we take all our clothes off, men woman, kids and get in the sauna together I can feel a cold chill run through the area. I am sure many people would think the Scandinavians scandalous. It does seem rather silly when you consider here we use sex to sell just about everything, but you can’t see a naked breast in a TV commercial, even late night, but cable is OK.
@mrrich724 I don’t understand why people are so prude about this stuff. New flash, kids are going to grow up and see it anyway . . . and if they weren’t hidden from it as children, they’d probably be better equipped to handle it as adults! What is the youngest age you would take your child to a party where women and young gals were dressed like that? And would their be a different age for girls than boys?
@john65pennington it’s bad enough that children see this on cable all the time, so why force this on your children in real life? I guess that is why many feel what is the big whoop, they don’t care to stop kids from seeing worse on cable so, no biggie.
