Soapbox

Forgive me on my soapbox but here goes.

On this whole Miley Cyrus incident, which I did not see but have heard about...
It makes me angry at our culture and sad for her.
I don't know if someone never taught her to be a lady or if someone thought that it was better to make a little money than to preserve her dignity. 
Can anyone dare to tell me that teaching our daughters to be modest is not necessary?  That it is ever too early?
That to say no to this culture of anything goes, this culture that makes our girls into objects is ever wrong??
Call me prude, old-fashioned, whatever.  I don't care.
To me, it is one more reason to say no to the Target clothes marketed to my 9 year old that even I wouldn't wear.
One more reason to be an example of modesty to my girls and their friends.
One more reason to say no to music that encourages girls that to be "cool" they have to have a boyfriend and look a certain way.   Ridiculous.
Sometimes "no" is the best thing they will hear.
Our daughters have value because they were made in the image of God.  They are fearfully and wonderfully made.
Let them be children and teach them while they are young.  Otherwise I fear that it will be too late.
Teach them to say "yes" to being ladies, to self-respect, to dignity.
