The point is: girls dress to please themselves.
Look, over there. It's complicated and multifaceted reality, where there are no blanket statements like that. Head for it Toni. Maybe you'll get there.

Why? For stating that plenty of high school girls are sexually active (mostly with high school boys or guys a little older than that)?It means that someone needs to put a hard ban on TSwizzle being anywhere near high schools or middle schools.
Uh, that's not what he said.
You never will get it because you are certain you know what's inside the minds of girls and women. You think being a father gives you more insight into the hearts and minds of girls and women than actually being a girl or a woman.
It's just that simple.

Oh yes it was.

It's not, Toni. It's that it's just plainly, obviously, demonstrably and factually wrong to say that girls dress or groom or apply make-up only to please themselves. It's not just my opinion, and no I don't think it just because I'm a father of girls. I was only the father of two girls anyway, and there are literally are and have been billions of girls that I have not been a parent of. Nor is it just the opinion of men, or fathers, anyway. And by the way, just because you are a woman and have been a mother to a girl and may know other women and girls, that does not mean that you know what is in the minds of all other women and girls either. You can't do that and you literally do not speak for all women or girls any more than I could for men or boys, which I can't.
It (that women and girls may also dress and groom and make up for things other than only to please themselves) has been said by women and girls, including about themselves as well as about other women and girls (see posts earlier in this thread). You can disagree with me, but are you so dogmatic that you don't believe them either? It has also been widely studied and analysed, by academics and experts in a number of relevant areas. It's just wrong. It is an incorrect statement. In fact, it's as wrong about girls as it is about boys, men, women or anyone. Ditto for more than just so-called sexy dress and appearance, because it applies to other instances of dress, grooming and enhanced or modified appearance also, including make-up.
What do you think he said?Uh, that's not what he said.
First of all, 'fancy' and 'sexually revealing/appealing' are two different things. There is an overlap, of course, but clothes can be fancy without being revealing and vice versa.You, as well as most of the men in this thread are missing the entire point of Rhea's OP: The girls are dressing up fancy to please themselves.
I would agree with part of it. But whether or not they are sexually active, my point is that they are of an age where girls get interested in sexuality and many are sexually active. Even those who are not sexually active are aware of sexuality. To say that revealing clothes have nothing to do with sexual signalling, as Rhea tried to say, or that a 15-17 year old is the same as the 6 year old Jo Beignet Ramsey as steve_bank was saying is just silly!There is no comment about whether the girls are dating, are dating boys, are asexual, are sexually active, are saving themselves for marriage or what base they've made. Because that doesn't matter to the girls.
The statement was that these girls dressed up to please themselves and for positive affirmations from their female friends.
Attract sexual attention, yes, among other things. And even before she is sexually active, but sexually mature, one of the reasons is certainly to attract sexual attention (even if there is no intention to reciprocate).Oh, Derec. You thought that once a girl is sexually active, then when she dresses fancy it’s to attract sex?
Nobody said anything approaching that. You are knocking down a straw man so big you could take it to the Black Rock City as a centerpiece.What’s next, that once she has sex with her boyfriend she’s available to all men?
It was not all you said. Imo, you should clarify or justify why you also specifically used the term skanky (smelly) hoes (prostitutes). So far you've avoided doing that.
In any case, how is saying that many high school girls are promiscuous in any way implying that TSwizzle should be banned from being near a school?

Ho may have originated as a contraction of whore, but thanks to op hop, has taken on a much broader meaning.

It wouldn't be. But he also seemed to imply that they could be described as skanky hoes. I already said that.
To be exact, he said there were an awful lot of girls at the high schools in his area who put it about openly, who dress as skanky hoes and act accordingly.
Now, that's not outright calling them skanky hoes, obviously, but it seemed to me a bit close to it. Plus, 'an awful lot' is....well.....quite a lot.
I just need the exact names of the schools Derec.

Nope. I said that TSwizzle referring to girls in high school as skanky hoes is the reason he should be banned from migh schools. And middle schools.

Nope. You may have meant it, but you did not reply to that post of his, but the one above it.
Besides, why should saying that many MS/HS girls dress "like skanky hoes" lead to a ban anyway?
So, Toni, Rhea and other experts.
When teenage girls sext teenage boys, is that also completely non-sexual and merely "fancy"/"pretty in a non-childish way" and meant only to please themselves and impress their female friends?

First of all, he did not say all of them were "skanky hoes", only that some of them dress and act as if they were skanky hoes. Please do not misrepresent what other posters are writing.Adult men who regard girls in high school and middle school as skanky hoes should not be allowed access to high schools or middle schools.
Not any. But that's not the point. The point is that these things happen, and so Rhea's claim that not a singe one teenage girl dresses provocatively for male sexual attention is ridiculous and naive.You getting a lot of those, Derec?
Watch the film Thirteen and then get back to me.

Second, a teenage girl 15-17 knows full well what she is doing by wearing sexually appealing clothes.
if she is doing it to please herself, or to entice envy from her friends/frenemies, the fact that these clothes also attract men is certainly not lost on them. They are 15-17, not 5-7 for FSM's sake!
