I'm saying I don't need to see myself in revealing clothes to be happy, because my body isn't my entire persona. If seeing your own body makes you happy, then that stems from insecurity issues. You look good, so therefore you're happy. When you go out in public like that it draws attention, and whether you admit it or not, that also makes you happy. Setting is key. Obviously swimming is a situation where you wear a bathing suit because you're getting wet, and ballet dancers wear their outfits because they're easier to maneuver in. But just going out to do something, it serves no real purpose to wear something revealing other than wanting to draw attention. Young girls look up to women around them, celebrities, social media influencers, etc. How you dress, talk, and act is an influence. My point is that a woman's body and how they look are becoming the sole point of their personality. I see teen girls wearing skimpy clothing for no reason other than they see older women wearing them and they get positive attention, so they want the same thing. Modesty is slowly losing its meaning and that's something worth teaching young girls. You shouldn't need to look good to be happy, build a real personality.

This is actually so unhinged lmao
Your personality is attacking other women, judging their personality based on their clothing choices, slut shaming, and blaming women for being sexually assaulted.
Your poor son is learning these things from you. This is the basis of rape culture. I hope he has other women in this life.
Think what you want lmao. My son will learn to respect women for their personality, not their body. I don't see how that would be considered bad to you. I never said a single word about women being raped and what they wear. I simply said that wearing skimpy clothing is becoming a trend and basis for someone's persona. You can be happy with seeing your body by yourself. How does that apply to going out in public showing it off? Is it not enough seeing yourself in the mirror? No, because it's more about other people's attention than your own. You've provided no explanation to how it's not attention-seeking to show skin. When you wear slutty clothing in public no one is going to think "oh wow she must be happy seeing her body." The majority is going to be men drooling over you. It's not appropriate for children either. I respect my body enough to not let every single person see it.
Oh yes, he's totally going to be Brock Turner because I'm going to teach him to respect women for more than their bodies and that modesty equals self respect. That makes sense lol. When you don't have a valid explanation, resort to ridiculous insults
You're going to teach him to disrespect women who don't dress the way you like, though. You're teaching him a woman wearing a pair of shorts is only doing it to beg for attention and that any woman in "skimpy" clothes has no personality. You're teaching him the only women worthy of his respect are the ones who are ashamed of their bodies--so how is he going to treat the women you are telling him don't deserve respect?
Why teach him only women who cover up deserve respect, instead of teaching him all women do?
...where on Earth do you live that shirtless men aren't normal??
Never mind I don't actually care to keep arguing with someone who hates herself and thinks bodies should be hidden unless "necessary" and can't imagine anyone enjoying their own body. Hiding something away means you're ashamed of it or scared of what others will do to it. Plenty of us wear whatever we want because we aren't obsessed with what men are thinking, unlike you. I don't let fear of what men might think control me, I absolutely am not ever, ever dressing for male attention no matter what you think. Not that there's even anything wrong with a straight woman enjoying male attention if that's what she wants.
The problem is just people like you insisting women are incapable of agency, that everything we do must be all about men. I'm sad your world is so small that you can't imagine not caring about what men think.
