But yeah, you can't beat that dance scene. It's the best.

Little Miss Sunshine was hilarious.

Yes, it issss.

They are corny. I only like a couple, mostly because she's such a good little actor and dancer and adorable.

Hmm. I'll check it out.

[Brigid ✩, No tears in the writer, no tears in the reader.]

Yeah, she is adorable. There is no denying that. :D

Yesss, you should. Although, uh, there's a ton of swearing in it ... and other rather nasty stuff, since the grandpa is a perv. lol. XD

Ugh. Almost as bad as that one article were the little girls' parents forced them to dress as strippers. And still people wonder why so many young girls in elementary and intermediate schools have self-esteem issues. I understand that someone shouldn't force their daughter to dress like a nun but some people take it a little to far. Nothings wrong with dressing nice but a tween dressing like a twenty year old is awkward.

And oh my....I just hate "Toddlers and Tiaras" with a passion.

Agreed. Except, I think that no one should really dress like that, unless they are asking for something bad to happen to them. (Rape etc.)

Oooh. Well then. XD

[Annemarie, hi]

TODDLERS IN TIARAS, YOU SAY?

I freaking love that show!


Ahh.

[Mandy]

Ew.

[Annemarie, hi]

They're soo adorable. In their little dresses. And I love watching the crazy moms. It's funny because the dad is either just as crazy or totally indifferent.

[Mandy]

Well, yeah. That could be entertaining, but slathering on makeup and getting them all stuck up and prissy isn't.

[Annemarie, hi]

The girls seem to enjoy it. It's not like any of them are being forced in it. They LOVE it. The moms don't even make any money off it, if anything, they lose a crapton of money.

Rape doesn't happen because you dress a certain way :/

[Jayda]

True. But Mandy has a point... If you dress like a slut, guys are bound to assume that you'll give sex away... And they'll think you're fine with anything. Not all guys, but some guys for sure.

[Jayda]

I know that. But it doesn't mean that if a girl dresses like a slut that a guy won't think she's easy and end up raping her if she isn't actually easy. Does that make sense?

I know that anyone can be raped. Trust me, I know that. So does Mandy. What she's trying to say is that if you dress like you'll have sex/a slut then a guy is more likely to think that you're up for anything. But yes, anyone can get raped.

[Shreya=Drastically Random. Find the emoticon.]

And that is why KIDS SHOULD NOT BE DRESSING THAT WAY. AAAAAAH *headdesk*

[Mandy]

What Jayda said is what I meant. *nods*

Thinking a girl is easy and RAPING her, are completely different things.

DRAGGING her to, say, a bedro..."

Alright. But the possibility is there. I'm just saying, is that dressing like a slut just makes a guy think (not necessarily do) that the girl is either easy, or just willing to do anything. *sighs* I'm not saying this like I'm thinking it.

[Baxter, butts butts butts]

Might Mandy mean that when you dress with revealing clothes and/or in a hyper-sexualized manor, that rape is more likely?

[Annemarie, hi]

We should all worry about rape. All men. No exceptions. Are out to rape you.

Yes. That is what Mandy means.

I was figuring that it was just Jules being Jules.

But that could work too. =P

[Annemarie, hi]

I'm not quite sure what that was.

[Acacia]

That was Juliet.

[Brigid ✩, No tears in the writer, no tears in the reader.]

I don't remember who said it and I'm too lazy to go back and find out ... but, I agree with whoever said thinking a girl is easy and making the decision to rape her are rather different things.

If a girl dresses like a slut, then it's probably more likely that guys will go up to her and say "Heeeyyy wanna have sex with me?" but she can still say no, and most guys would back off at that point.

You have to be pretty messed up to be a rapist, and at that point you'd probably be so desperate you wouldn't really care what the girl looks like. It's more about being in the wrong place at the wrong time than about what you look like, in my opinion.

[Talia]

Agreed.

[Mandy]

That was Jayda and a little bit me, Brigid. =D

And you make good points.

[Mandy]

It was? I'M GOING TO GO RUN IN CIRCLES.

*clicks to previous page*

[Shreya=Drastically Random. Find the emoticon.]

How did this conversation turn from little kids dressing badly to Toddlers in Tiaras to raping? o_0

[Jayda]

I honestly think it depends on the guy. If you're willing to rape someone then you don't care who it is, I agree. But there are guys out there who have "types" to rape, just like there are guys out there who have types to murder or attack or whatever. It depends on the guy, mostly, I think.

But I do still think that your risk of being sexually abused in whatever way possible (even if just mentally/emotionally) is at least a LITTLE higher when you dress like a slut. I want to look and see if there are any statistics on this... I swear I read that somewhere, but I'm not sure if it was about this or something else...

[Brigid ✩, No tears in the writer, no tears in the reader.]

Well, I'm sure that's true that if you dress like a slut you are more likely to be sexually harassed. I have no doubt about that. But sexual harassment isn't the same as RAPE. Sexual harassment could be something just like, someone whistling at you. :P And rape is the extreme of sexual harassment.

[Jayda]

I honestly wouldn't care if anyone whistled at me :P Guys have done that to me before... I get that it's considered sexual harrassment, but I don't think it's that big of a deal.

However, the majority of rapes are done by people that the rape victim knows... And if they know you dress like a slut, maybe they assume that you're easy for your boyfriend or whatever? I don't know. Like I said, it totally depends on the guy. If he's a legit psychopath he could have a type, just like murderers have a type. It's kind of a case by case thing, I think.

[Brigid ✩, No tears in the writer, no tears in the reader.]

Heh, I would care. Then again, no one of the opposite gender has ever acknowledged my existence ... XD

That's true. I guess what I mean is ... anyone can get raped, and it may or may not have to do with how you dress. It varies from case to case.

[Jordan, The Picture Magician (aka Probie)]

I think it's interesting how no guys in this group are participating in this riviting conversation.

[Brigid ✩, No tears in the writer, no tears in the reader.]

That's because they're too busy raping girls ...
JUST KIDDING JUST KIDDING. What a horrible thing to say.

Haha, awww, I'm sure they notice you and your amazingness :) It's only ever happened to me a couple of times, and they were pigs, sooo... But yeah, I didn't care. I really don't care. It's just a whistle. Now, if they did more than that then heck yeah, I'd have a problem. But it's only a whistle...

Yeah, I completely agree with that :) I definitely think it varies from case to case. Besides that, only 54% of rapes are reported... I think it's 54%... It's around that, anyway. So why those other 46% occurred we have no idea.

Oh yeahhh! I forgot about that.

Exactly! Goodness knows I am not looking forward to that moment in my life.

[Brigid ✩, No tears in the writer, no tears in the reader.]

Be sure to tell me when it happens.

I'm kind of late here like really late. But I want to add in my thoughts to the issue of abortion.

Unless every government official had sex with every abortion-candidate woman in America, I believe that the government shouldn't be the ones to make such touchy decisions.

And really, I think that as a pretty much struggling country, we should be caring a bit more about the people we already have than the people yet to come. But anyway, I believe that it's the women and family's choice. It's a big decision if you'd be in that situation. What some people don't realize is that adoption is not this yellow brick road that everyone can skip down as an escape method. Being adopted tends to be a part of a person especially if that person's birth parents didn't want him or her.

Anyway, that's my side. I like to sit on the fence thank you very much. :)
