Teen Girl Ejected From Prom Because Horny Dads Can't Stop Staring

A 17-year-old girl says she was kicked out of her homeschool prom because some lecherous dads complained that she was arousing "impure thoughts."

In a guest post on her sister's blog, Richmond, Va., a high school senior named Clare related how one of the women organizing the dance disapproved of her dress, even after checking it met the "fingertip length" dress code requirement. When she got into the ballroom, Clare, who is 5'9", was amused to find herself surrounded by shorter girls in much shorter dresses.

On a balcony above the dance floor, a group of dads was, she said "ogling and talking amongst themselves," which grossed out Clare and her friends a little bit.

After the kids had been "swaying with the music and talking and enjoying ourselves" for a while, the same chaperone who had complained about Clare's dress pulled her aside to tell her that some of the dads felt her dancing was "too provocative" and liable to cause "impure thoughts."

Clare protested that she hadn't even been dancing, and was told once again that her regulation finger-length dress was too short. She was kicked out of the dance, and her friends decided to go with her.

Whose daughters promise to be virgins and their creepo fathers give them a ring.

If you ask me, that's a bit incestual. Yech. And I cring when girls and grown women say, "I'm daddy's little girl." Double yech.

Her dress is really cute and she is in no way inappropriate. They should have kicked out all the dads.

From the Gawker link:

"I'm not responsible for some perverted 45 year old dad lusting after me because I have a sparkly dress on and a big ass for a teenager," she concludes. "And if you think I am, then maybe you're part of the problem."

It fuels the Double Standard nicely, too: Male = Stud. Female = Slut.

if you need a scantily-clad teenager dancing to arouse "impure thoughts" either your imagination is weak & flimsy or you aren't trying hard enough.

Last thing these perverted degenerates want is their kids talking to a teacher about the abuse.

When I see a male home schooler, a male bashing porn or a male pushing religious fundamentalism I immediately think ..."This guy is probably a child rapist"

That's the term psychologists use to describe that phenomenon.

It's basically "dost protest too much." If someone is screaming non-stop against porn...you just know that guy's got a hard drive full of it at home.
