I think a lot of the insanity around young teenage girls, including the "bi/trans/queer" mania and hysteria about modesty standards, has do do with girls not being properly inducted into womanhood. In a short time their body changes from girl to woman and it terrifies them. https://twitter.com/JReubenCIark/status/1322349103146172417
You'd think that asking girls to dress modestly actually smooths the transition, providing a buffer for girls as they transition to adult sexuality. But the Culture, which hates chastity, pretends these protections actually create the sexuality, like how umbrellas cause rain.
Of course no adult male wants to be the horny old goat who points out that teenage girls *have* to dress modestly bc of their new womanly bodies. On the rare occasion that they do point it out, the awkwardness becomes grist for the feminist mill. "Ugh, my bishop was so creepy."
Seems obvious to me that this is something mothers and YW leaders must take the lead on; they can speak with empathy and frankness that men can't on this topic. But it seems that many parents avoid the topic entirely, or worse, set an opposite example. https://twitter.com/Mormonger/status/1321149629145051136
I know it's mostly dudes on Twitter, but I really want to know if the #DezNat women think I'm on the right track in this thread.
