JPPaverage's JournalI feel like a damn hypocrite.
I have a 12, almost 13 year old daughter ( as she reminds me often) and now that the weather is nice, she has taken to wearing real short shorts.
There is nothing wrong with women being empowered and I don't care what they wear, how they assert themselves, etc. I grew up with a strong and liberated mom as well as a sister who felt the same. And I am the one and only male occupant in house now, including the dog. But when it's my daughter, I get protective. She walks the dog, rides her bike and does regular tween stuff. She has also said she wants to run on the track and field team in middle school next school year. That's all well and good, but darn it, I still worry and wish maybe she'd wear some longer shorts and no crop tops.
My wife thinks I'm crazy and she may be correct. But with the world being what it is, I have to worry. And I feel like a hypocrite because of it. I suppose I should just let her be a young woman and stop worrying so much, but I can't help it.
