Anonymous--I agree with you. I hate to see women put into catagories too. I think young women or little girls are so pretty naturally. I have an acquaintance whose daughter does the "pageant" stuff--horrifying! I was surprised at how my son and husband viewed the Guess model. To me she just looked really pretty and sexy, they were actually quite harsh on her. Which is another post entirely. Thank you so much though for giving your opinion!

Thanks Legally too! I was much more athletic at a teen and felt sooooo pressured to be more "feminine"--whatever that means. Of course in the South it means petite and non-athletic. I love the fact that my Teenager's girlfriend can kick his butt when needed. She actually winded him when he was disrespectful to her. Go Girl!!

Phew, now that I've relieved myself of that, allow me to say I agree. I've often thought of this as the "Britney factor"; how is it enticing anymore once you've seen the same woman (or women), wearing the exact scanty thing more or less, over and over again?

My family never pushed the image / weight/ pretty stuff on me - in fact, I was quite the tomboy until my teenage years - and I am incredibly grateful for it. Would be grateful to see society in general take this approach.

Maybe referring to women as "slutty" or softball players in the making because they have no desire to paint themselves as kids aren't progressive attitudes either. Beauty is a factor for women, but it should be recognized in many forms.
