I can't believe what I'm hearing. Why is everyone freaking out over what kind of underwear children wear? If you don't want your kids to wear thongs thats one thing, but why is the idea that kids wear thongs making people sick?
This reminds me of ye old "kids shouldn't wear makeup" rant, but we have reached the stage where most people accept that if kids wear makeup the world *still* doesn't end.
I don't think the reason your seeing thongs is some crazy supersexification of the nation, its because thongs have become a normal type of underwear. Kids wear all the types of clothing adults wear (or at least want to) and always have. What about bikinis? 40 years ago they were quite risque, now they are completely standard. No one freaks out that they sell pint sized bikinis in the kids section, and no one thinks that they are particularly sexualized.
One of my close friends, Jamie, who is now 22 has been wearing thongs exclusively since she was six years old or so. Its just normal girls underwear to her, and in her family. She seems none the worse for it, and it certainly didn't turn her into a sex freak, or the object of obsession either.
Times change, fashions change, its something to get used to. When I have a daughter if the fashion is to go butt naked and she wants to I'll be more than happy to let her, but that does'nt mean I'm going to let her start dating before she's 16. There are important things, and their are things that are just bullshit and fluff, its a good idea not to get swept up in the fluff or you might miss something important.
Oh and on a side note, the rather conservative "catholic schoolgirl outfit" is generally thought to be one of the sexiest things ever, big white panties and all.
