    No Thongs or Midriffs Please, Say Schools

    PARIS (Reuters) - French schools are cracking down on a craze among teenage girls to flash their midriffs and wear skimpy G-strings that peek brazenly out from above their low-cut trousers.
    A number of head teachers in France -- where school uniforms are practically unheard of -- have slapped a ban on showing off thongs and tummies, the French daily Le Parisien said on Friday. "In the eyes of boys, thongs reduce girls to bottoms," former junior education minister Segolene Royal said.

    "These adolescents are, sadly, a reflection of the society they are sold -- a society where women's bodies are shown off like vulgar merchandise," she told the newspaper.

    Teenage girls the world over are sporting ever-lower hipster jeans, pierced navels and tattoos, and have been yanking up their barely-there thongs to show above their trousers.

    Underwear makers in France report soaring sales of such garments to girls as young as 10.

    "The thong has become a fashion accessory like a handbag or a belt. You let it show above your hipster jeans just like you let your bra-strap show," Le Parisien quoted a spokeswoman for the Dim underwear company as saying. Teachers are having none of it, however, despite squeals of protest from students.

    "I am quite happy to accept girls showing their navels -- but not in a high school," said Claudine Wendling-Brickert, headmistress at the Ribeauville High School in Haut-Rhin.

    And when some young dude has all he can take, and his libido takes over, then some girl pays the price. the guy is slapped behind bars (or worse), and the females the world over are blasting the males for not controlling their emotions.

    Dress codes are the answer in todays schools and elsewhere since girls (and kiddie boys) cannot seem to understand what it takes to turn the guys on..nor understand why they cannot control it.

    Parents don't seem to give a d**n what their sons and daughters wear, but just let one of them be attacked, and all he** breaks loose...whose to blame?..why that male kid of course.

    Wake up world..if you want to go nude..then accept the penalty!

    And, yeah.. I know the male kids dress about the same, but you don't see many (if any) girls getting all worked up over some slob male kid with his **** showing.. there is a difference.

    Agreed. A girl can look pretty or hot without exposing her midriff or thong.

    Mmmm... thongs...
    I know girls who claim they're more comfortable than other types of underwear. Walking around with a wedgie all day isn't my idea of comfort, but then what would I know.

    Hawaii has perhaps the most liberal dress codes in the country and has for years. It doesn't seem to be a problem though, because these same girls go to the beach and even the shopping malls wearing itsy bitsy teeny weeny bikinis all the time. It only bothers me when the fat ugly ones got thier pierced bellys hanging out.

    bah bah bah let them wear what they want, and if a boy can't control himslef when seeing a thong and resorts to rape then there is an issue with that child.

    Granted the amount of shall I say "**** slapping" is increasing daily in schools but hey, it doesn't seem that either the girl nor the boy minds.

    IMO, I disagree. It is the animal instinct in all males, human or animal..some control it better than others. Why do you think Playboy mag/rag (and other porn mags) have done so well?..there are documented instances of men reading these (and/or watching porn on the tube, tv/I-net) that have gone right out, found, raped then killed some hapless female.

    Granted the amount of shall I say "**** slapping" is increasing daily in schools but hey, it doesn't seem that either the girl nor the boy minds.

    Just let it go a wee bit further than the girl wants it to go, or by the wrong male. and see how fast she "minds".

    Hey!!.. I don't have a problem with letting you be (and do) whatever turns you on..its your life, (mis)treat it as you wish. You are creating the future...so, when you "get there", please don't look back and blame your forebears as so many of your predecessors have done.

    There is more than enough morality and civil issues today without generating more, but I will not be here (thankfully) to see the results of todays generation...when they grow up (if ever).

    My kids are all grown, and have their own lives to live. Usually I attempt (unsuccessfully probably) to tell them the same things I say here. They listen respectfully but with hearing turned off I suspect.

    As the "now" generation does their thing, some male kid may get turned on by a half-dressed female, but rape my granddaughter instead...then..its my turn. He's a walking dead boy/man if I can find him first.

    Bovon, I'm reminded of a Chat Show I once watched where the topic of conversation was as you stated above.

    In response a rather wise participant asked the proponents of your argument if they ever found themselves in the position where they were making out with their girlfriend on the couch at home when her parents suddenly arrived back. She then followed on by asking how many then continued on and how many stopped immediately.

    What do you think Bovon?

    IMO, much would depend on exactly whose couch we were on..if it was her parents.. I would hasten to try and outrun a load of buckshot..if it were my parents, I would attempt to reason with an inconsolable mother, and a mad as a hornet father..but, that is my case scenario...in my part of the world, when I was of that age.. any attempt to corrupt a "young lady's" reputation was met with some serious feedback.

    Times change!

    My point being that "animal instinct" is one thing but parents arriving home early soon softens the best of intentions :-)
