So the consensus here so far seem to be that teenage girls should be able to post pics of their scantily clad bodies, expressing their "sexuality", to teenage boys without those boys thinking of them in a sexual way.
Alrighty then.

This woman is simply being a responsible parent IMHO. She is trying to raise boys who act honorably and don't view girls as pieces of meat. She didn't strike me as some whack job or a religious nut. She is simply doing the best she can to make sure that her boys look at things from the right perspective.
As parents, we have to work with the world as we find it, not how we wish it to be. In an ideal world, boys would think about girls who post pics of themselves in towels and lingerie on FB the same as any other girl, but they don't. Boys are simply not wired that way. When they see a semi-nude girl, their hormones kick in and they think about sex. This is why it is important to establish some type of emotional connection with a man before you give him the goods, at least if you are interested in him as a long term prospect. If the sex comes first then it dominates his thinking about you. Girls throughout the ages have understood this, which is one of the reasons why the smart girls, to this day, don't give it up too quickly.
Wish and complain all you want, but I don't see this changing anytime soon, particularly as part of this is hormonal. Heck, if this were not the case, then the whole adult entertainment industry probably wouldn't exist.
As Marlow Stanfield said to the convenience store security guard in an episode of the Wire: "You want it to be one way, but it's the other way."
And this is exactly why my young teenage daughters will not be prancing around in towels and lingerie on camera for young boys. I understand all too well how boys think and this type of behavior will generate the wrong type of attention from them. I want their beauty, kindness and intelligence to be what these boys first associate with my daughters rather than the hard-ons that they got from seeing my daughters barely clothed on a FB pic. I truly wish I didn't have to worry about things like that, but as a parent I have to live in the real world and act accordingly.
Any, just my

fwiw.
