I recently had a conversation with a close relative about clothing choices in young women. Her opinion is that young women shouldn't wear provocative, revealing clothing as that sort of clothing is sexy and if your too young to have consensual sex your too young to wear sexy clothing. The specific situation we were discussing was a 12 year old wearing a top which showed their belly button.
My opinion is that young women should be free to wear what they like and if other people view them in a sexual way because of their clothing that is the other people's issue, I think that sending the message to children that they are responsible for other people's reactions to their clothing is wrong.
I'm interested to hear what a feminist point of view would be.
