re: The societal cost for women deciding to behave sexually like men

I think everyone "people watches" at some point, but I do it quite a bit when I am out and about.

This past weekend, I witnessed a mother and daughter discuss openly how hot a guy was. The daughter could not have been more than 14 or 15 years old. The guy was probably college age. The mother was saying vile things and the daughter was laughing.

Later, I encountered the same mother and daughter rushing through the checkout line. The mother told the daughter they had to hurry because she had to drop her off at her dads for the weekend. The daughter kind of snarled.

I thought about my own daughters, and how I have raised them to be modest, to protect their chastity and let them know that I will always be there for them. The girl in Target had a t-shirt that said "Wealthy High School Name Cheerleader." This is the type of girl that is popular in school, will be in college. She will grow up and be just like her mom - in a broken marriage discussing what she would do to a hot guy in Target.

The best thing I ever did for my daughters is from an early age, get them to reject the desire to be popular. There's a book called Embracing Obscurity (the author is anonymous, how about that), that really does a good job of explaining the benefits of this.
