Photo of the girls has been deleted, and I'm ringing the school bell. Try to keep it clean guys.
Since all the "BRUHAHA" about posting pictures of girls. In another post I did post a picture of my wife and daughters. Am I allowed? If so no offence was intended to anyone. Please advise
Children are sexualized earlier and earlier in all cultures. What about the Texas inspired child beauty contests? Cheerleaders dance like strippers. Add the factor of men who want thier daughter to be a sexpot and you get women who value thier sex appeal above all esle. My daughter was asking about intimate relations when she was TEN and she went to an all girls Catholic school. What happened to naivetee?
Granted it is a bit much in the DR when you factor the poverty level and the currency of puddenanny for money. However it is not a DR only or third world only trend.

you still do not understand, bob. you are posing pictures of people without their permission/consent. and in a thread about sexual harassment, no less. this is what's inappropriate here.
I posted the photo to show how most girls dress for school here. I know that there was no survey of the students at our school or the Catholic high schools here in Jarabacoa so where they got the numbers from is unknown. Those of you commenting on how students dress for school is so out of touch with reality.
Absolute rubbish. The government has no idea of what is happening in the public school system. The majority of Dominicans are functionally illiterate yet the country year after year publishes high literacy numbers? The idea that this is a truthful in depth statistical study is laughable.
Because you responded. What does that say about you? Personally if I don't like what someone post I use the block button. It's like TV you can ignore and change the channel. See that I gave you a option. You can also block all my post if they hurt your eyes, see that another option. Pick one and be happy. And to answer your question. Yes to me this is news because I have daughters in school there.
Maybe the Gov't are looking at schools that will promote favorable numbers in order to skew the results.
That has to do with much deeper aspects than clothing. I am Dominican; I studied in Dominican Republic my whole life and I can not count how many times through my years of school a teacher or other person of the school staff made sexual advances towards me. I was a one hundred pound girl, very shy, did not use make up or dressed tight clothing. I did not have a ?cuerpazo?. I would not consider myself to be a sexy girl at that time. My mother, a Christian woman, always made sure that I did not use any other type of clothing than long skirts and sleeved shirts, but that did not save me from been harassed.
Well, where to start ???
What is sexual harassement ??? The definition would be diffrent if u are in france, the US, or the dr. For one.
From limited experience in the campo, I would say school girls are more intrested in sex/flirt than their boy counterparts.
Also, what is to be expected ??? In every town and campo there are "whore" bars. Every man and his dog has a mistress, aside from a wife, and speaks openly about it.
People speek freely and crudly in front of young children. People live in "houses" where rooms are seperated by curtains. There are 3 generations and brothers and sisters with their respective spouses and kids living under the same roof. What example is being set ??
If I acted the way school girls as young as 12/13 acted towards me, I would be jailed back in europe. Some times in front of their parents. What is the parents reaction ?? No reaction. ( and more than once, encouragement ).
So mix all that up, and one wonders why there is "sexual harassement ". Seems to me it is accepted and encouraged.
So it is an education problem, but not the scholar one, the parental one.

It is simply a different culture. I do not believe that there is much chance of non-Dominicans changing the culture to match that of the US, Canada, the rest of Latin America or Europe. The only thing that has changed a culture from a permissive one to less permissive one historically seems to have been what the missionaries did in the South Pacific. Would you rather live in Bora Bora or some island where church is seen as compulsory and the women all wear muu muus?
That is not to say that I am in favor of sexual harassment in schools or anywhere. I just don't see much chance of the culture changing. I agree that diminishing sexual harassment is up to the schools and the parents. I can't think of any others who would have much of a chance.

who does these studies, and who sets the criteria? i am not trying to marginalize the situation in any way, but we have to know who measures what sexual harassment is supposed to be. are the investigators using some North American definitions of sexual harassment?
here is why i ask. many years ago, i worked with a girl called Katie, who was excruciatingly beautiful. a coworker of mine was smitten with her.(so was every other man in the office). one morning, he told me that if i saw her, i should ask her to stop by his desk. well, i did, and the next thing i know is that i was being dragged into the boss's office. she had gone to Joe's desk, and he had told her that she looked lovely that day. she reported him to management for what i considered to have been a compliment, and she implicated me as a co-conspirator in the hijinks. so, we both got written up, and the matter remained permanently in our personnel files as a FINAL warning. one more, and we would be gone.
what i am getting at here is that people in the caribbean do not have sticks up their asses about certain matters. Latina women like to be paid compliments about their looks. that is why there is a salon on every corner, and every other store is a garment shop. this is not to say that there are not instances of over the top behavior in schools, but i am just wondering who sets the parameters of what sexual harassment is.
