This is the problem: FYI (if you’re a teenage girl) | Given Breath

"We hope to raise men with a strong moral compass, and men of integrity don’t linger over pictures of scantily clad high-school girls." -- from the blog FYI (if you’re a teenage girl) | Given Breath

Again, somehow it is the fault of "girls" if "males" are incapable of seeing past a bit of skin to recognize the woman (girl) beneath it. Sadly, it is women like this mother who continue to provide room in our society for men "who can't help themselves" -- the slope from her line of accusatory thinking about teenage girls to an ability to excuse the true inappropriate behavior of males who take advantage of such girls/women is much, much too easy to slide down (as I learned again this weekend).
