Maybe it is because I am not a man that I cannot empathize, but this is a slippery slippery slope - the first step to victim blaming. I find men attractive every day who may be showcasing various body parts based on his attire - but I am rarely, if ever craning my neck to see him. Maybe the comparison isn't comparable (it digs into "fundamental" differences between men and women) but I think we have to be careful lest we teach young women that sexual harassment or assault is her fault.Sydnie Mosleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04664314905152198838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6728089799418514701.post-49247413041255126522012-01-28T08:56:12.690-08:002012-01-28T08:56:12.690-08:00My wife and I work with a lot of youth in our chur...My wife and I work with a lot of youth in our church and we've had the same conversation. Until I explained it to her, she never realized the affect that young girls had on boys. I see it in my boys when we're out in public. I girl walks past and their necks go to craning. <br /><br />Boys should be taught to respect women and understand those feelings (which are natural). Girls should be taught how their attire affects the boys and ways to dress and still be fly. It's up to us as adults to get to them early and in the end, everyone benefits.<br /><br />Good blog post.Theo J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09476510249938248867noreply@blogger.com
