While I don't disagree with your contention, Tink, that parents dress their kids, I completely reject your contention that the media is not culpable. I don't believe that any of the parties are off the hook on this issue. The simple fact is that media...and parents.. are catering to kids and abdicating their responsibilities to teach young men and women that this type of "eye candy" mentality, and this "what I am going to do to your body" attitude is not what women in today's world are all about.
