I no longer wear my wedding ring, but I have a complicated marriage. I won't go into the details. We love each other, but we mostly stay together because of our kids. We sleep in separate rooms & haven't had sex in a very long time. After the birth of our second child our relationship changed. I've completely lost…

I also wanted to add that I wish this father put as much effort into fighting rape culture as he puts into trying to convince his daughter to dress modestly.

I'm not arguing with you, but I am curious if you have teen daughters. The reason I ask is because I can see where you are coming from, but I can also relate to this father's concerns.

I agree that this is harmless. I have two daughters, one is 18 & the other is seven. I'm a feminist & I always lecture my 18 year old whenever I hear the word slut. It's a balancing act. I want her to dress in whatever she likes & feels comfortable in, but I also want her to be mindful of her surroundings. I don't…
