Same, but with my son.
Women tell me these designs make them feel uncomfortable. That's enough. There is, for me, no argument that can be made against that. I can't teach my kid that this portrayal of women is acceptable. I certainly can't teach him that ignoring the experiences of people who are not me is acceptable.
Ok this is not an easy conversation to have, but it should be had, for the minimum sake of explication for all of us reading.
But I'm going to call you out a bit, nothing personal, all GAF'ers are awesome and so are all parents. However discussion is good, and it always useful for us all to explore these issues.
First good for you listening to your son and family.
However in a family like mine, where ART is king, and freedom of expression is cherished as a high freedom in America, I taught all my kids that the human body is beautiful and there are many ways to express it's beauty.
For example my daughter is a dancer, and to be honest, as a Dad, and as a man, I was uncomfortable with the outfits they wear sometimes, or the gyration movements dancers do on stage. And were talking 8 year olds, 12 years olds the entire age spectrum. And as I said I'm not advocating for no-hold-bars ART. However just because a few people are offended, that's their problem. I was offended at first at some of the dances, but I did'nt know dance, and started to understand the ART.
My son draws, and I can see him getting better and better, am I to stop him and say, don't draw your women beautiful, or dont draw you men powerful. What would have happened to our renascence paintings if we taught not to draw the human provocatively?
Is it so hard to teach a child that something on TV is ART, and just for fun. I mean I'm the parent, if my kid is uncomfortable with something, that's what parents do, they talk understanding to their kids. It's ART and it's not done in a unreasonable manner. It's for entertainment and fun! I hope others would talk to their kids about ART as in the vast scheme of things its such a benign thing like drawings.
As I said, awesome you listened to you kids, good for you.
It's a tuff discussion, between me, you and others. And it's ok to have different opionions, we live in America and tolerating a different opinion is the hallmark of great Americans.
So I totally respect your option, hope you respect mine.
Hopefully this post helps others figure out their position on the subject.
