I guess than it's a case of, "Do I want my children to think it's normal
and socially appropriate to display a good portion of their anatomy to the
public. If a child roleplays those toys, and that's the intent, then it's my
business as a parent to choose toys that don't encourage that. (As for me and
my house, we don't consider that appropriate or normal)
I think if you monitor the type of toys your child receives, legos
included, and don't entertain yourselves with deviant videos, talk shows,
movies, etc, you can raise decent children in a somewhat indecent world
despite the Cosmo in the shopping aisles. Then if communication lines are
open, when a child sees "weirdness," they will probably ask about it, and you
can explain that God made Adam and Eve coverings in the garden for a reason.
These people don't agree with God's point of view. Then you can reaffirm the
importance of dressing classy not trashy.
I hope you don't see people in the mall wearing less than the islander
babe. Depending on where you live, that could warrant arrest. :O)
