The Modesty Movement

She should just figure out a way of spreading her message without sounding like she’s got such a bee-otch chip on her shoulder.

Tango definitely got it wrong this time. How you people can see this as anything but a good thing is absolutely beyond me.

HEY! Watch it! Wendy Shalit is NOT a bee-yotch! I'm a 21-year-old girl and I've seen and done it all. Wendy is RIGHT - these attitudes and this behaviour has been NOTHING BUT DESTRUCTIVE, to girl's sense of self-worth, to the young generation's relationships and their intimacy skills, and to the general amount of respect that young men give us. We can't expect them not to think of us as a "piece of ass" and not to be misogynistic if we're acting "easy" and dressing like whores.

Kathy Griffin is right. Paris Hilton has become the new Gloria Steinem. Do we really want to encourage our young women to be dumbing down, slutting up, and the Pussycat Dolls-ification of our society?

Laura Sessions Stepp, author of "Unhooked" says that young women who do "hook up" report more feelings of depression, and a lowered sense of self-worth. This is an obvious repercussion of having to suppress your emotions, attachment and force yourself to separate emotions from sex - a totally unnatural thing to do, particularly for women. And let's not forget the fact that most people who obtain STD's do so before the age of 25. Tango should really be more responsible next time before they slam someone trying, rightfully, to spread a message of modesty and self-respect, and to consider the values of our own bodies instead of giving it away cheaply.

Jen, I appreciate your newfound position on modesty but I hardly think that you've "seen and done it all."

Unless your version of "all" includes a 12 volt battery, a shop vac, and a pound of Velveeta, you should quit bragging about your sexual conquests.
