When I have a daughter, I want her to be able to do whatever she wants without worrying that society will judge her for actions that have harmed no one. Comments like yours make that less likely. Please stop.


I agree with you. I'm not for over protective parenting and kids should be able to have fun/express themselves without lots of judging.

Honestly though, there's probably a fine line somewhere. I think you can say that it might not be the best idea for your daughter at 14 to be sending around naked photos and stripteasing.

This could easily become a long argument and no one is wrong or right. Maybe it's more of a case of would rather and would rather not. Most people would probably agree that they would rather not have their 14 year old daughter sending around some naked photos and videos.


I definitely wouldn't want my daughter to send around naked pictures of herself. However, if she did, that wouldn't make her a bad person, as "slut" connotes.


I don't think it connotes that to everyone. At least, to me, it only suggests high promiscuity, which isn't a bad thing in and of itself. Nor is it necessarily true in this case, but to those who formed our worldviews before omnipresent recording, sex-themed pictures of someone intuitively imply promiscuity. We'll just have to get over it; the world has changed.
