Susan Estrich Making Sense!

I don't always agree with Susan Estrich...make that hardly ever, when it comes to politics. However, when she pens articles like this, she has my full attention:

The girls dress just like their mothers. Why wouldn't they? If you don't want your daughter to wear slutwear, don't wear it yourself. The only thing that looks worse than a teenager dressed in slutwear is a middle-aged mother with her middle hanging out trying to look like her daughter's sister.

Can't we spare our daughters the lousy role models and our sons the confusion, even if retailers don't think we're ready to grow up?

It's about setting limits and saying "no" when necessary. Read it...if you're a reasonable person, you'll agree with everything she says.
