Two parts. You are definitely allowed to wear them. It’s not rare seeming girls wearing short dresses or shorts on the streets. But yes your father is right. Risk does come with revealing clothing. Depends on the area you are living in, and the occasion when you wear them. Always be careful.

Your allowed to wear whatever you want. But yes it does attract attention from guys who want sexual desires from you. It's not a great way to meet guys unless your looking for some easy d. Also if you live in an area where rape happens commonly then you should definitely listen to your parents. Dress modest and you'll get a better quality guy.

They should. But in some places it might be deemed inappropriate due to the culture of that particular place or if you are visiting a place that has a dress code. If none of them restrictions are there then you should be allowed. Where are you from?

Well in a males point of view wearing something so revealing is a form of advertising your body. In some cases wearing provocative clothing is kind of asking for trouble in one since.

Depends on which girl.

Personally I've seen enough fleshy blobs "dressing sexy" for one lifetime and I'm only 23.

Depends on why they want to wear the stuff and how old they are, in my opinion. But you're 19 so I think it should be up to you.

You are allowed, but also, their house, their rules. Time to move out?

I really hate that phrase. My house, my rules. Yeah I get that for anything to do with the house. Hang a painting? Check with the owner. Wear some shorts? The only check you should make is they are clean.

I disagree, they don't need to keep her around, they pay the rent and provide for her. That gives them the right to decide stupid shit. If you want to get that right for yourself, provide for yourself.

Is this because she is an adult or did this 'owning' her start before?

Because she's an adult. Before that, they are the voice of reason, unfortunately, and the child had to go along with it.

How far does that extend? They can dictate what she wears, can they dictate where she goes? What if we take a fairly big step, can they arrange a marriage for her?

Underaged or not? Because if your parents have the condition that you have to marry someone to keep living at their place, I'm pretty certain you will want to move anyway.

That’s a bit crazy, you’re 19, right? You should be able to wear whatever you want, in my opinion.

Your parents have a bit of a point. Modest dress is best, especially if as a female you'd like to avoid the unsolicited attentions of scores of men unacquainted with goodness or decency.

If your parents say no, it's a no. Until you move out. Then you take in to consideration the reasons why it was a no then.

you should take into consideration but you still say it's no? What's the point?

When you move out you can do what you want. But they had reasons for saying no when you live with them. Their reasons may be good reasons. Its about growing up and thinking as an adult
