As a father of four daughters, I have to agree with Wirt on this one.  I
have never, do not now and will not in the future let any of my daughters
wear anything like what was described here.

I have also forbidden tattoos, body piercings (including earlobes) and other
self-mutilation while they are under my roof.

I personally don't consider them "cute words." They were clearly highly
suggestive and they don't belong on campus. But more than anything, they
were a
tacky thing to wear. I would never let a daughter of mine, if I had had one,
ever
wear anything like that.

Did I mention before that I believe that parents are the first, best
teachers
of their children? Those lessons extend far beyond calculus and history.
They
include a sense of grace, elegance and honesty more than anything else.

I think you're raging against the whole wrong end of the stick, John.
