Not everyone has a mother around to teach them how to dress, or one who has the money to take them shopping when needed. The girls who dress in booty shorts and purposely show off cleavage are by far the minority(at least in the US, not sure where you are from), but these seem to be the ones that are discussed the most when older men complain that they "can't sexualize" teenage girls.

I agree that things were easier in the past, and our society has become more than a little fucked up in terms of dress. For me, when I did realize I needed to dress more modestly, I found that my mother was actually encouraging me to dress provocatively, which was bewildering as I was already getting unwanted attention. I have to wonder if some of the girls that I do see on the street wearing pretty much a headband as a skirt and a tube top were somehow encouraged by their parents, rather than being taught better.

And whatever the cause, does that still make it okay to sexualize, say, a 14 year old who genuinely doesn't know better? They're not out there trying to seduce 30 year old men into wanting to fuck them(for the most part), they're just acting how society has taught them they're supposed to act. Aren't adults supposed to know better?

Very good observations and questions. Personally I think more people need to be addressing this.

It all goes back to the adults letting them leave the house dressed like that.

Society as a whole is trying to extend childhood later and later, while at the same time sexualizing girls younger and younger. It doesn't help matters that girls are physically maturing earlier than ever, likely the result of having better food/more calories, better health, and the addition of chemicals and whatnot in our food and water supply, and so on.

The MTV generation followed the generation infused with the sexual revolution, both of which were replaced by the internet (and porn) generation. Porn is mainstream and you're fooling yourself if you think that hasn't had a serious impact on our culture. Hell, there's been stories of girls as young as 11 or 12 taking it in the ass and having facials (because they weren't ready for "sex", or had religious concerns). Point being, they had to learn that from somewhere. When I was a kid we had to use encyclopedias when we got curious. The internet wasn't really a thing yet, but it was getting there (most had AOL at the time). It was the kids growing up behind me, the Y generation, that could just go online and do a quick search could find all the info and raw uncensored examples of which they could enjoy at their leisure. Kids today are more sexual because A) their bodies allow them to be and B) they are now armed with knowledge we didn't have as kids. So now the question we need to start asking is "what do we do about it"? Burying our head in the sand and saying they don't know any better is foolish. They do know better. It's not uncommon for a 14-15 year old girl to know more about sex (and have more partners) than people 3-4x their age who only had a handful of partners growing up before they got married. These days by the time teens are out of high school many have partner counts well into the double digits. College is even worse nowadays.
