Nope. Everything you do is a lesson. Everything you allow is a lesson.

I teach my kids basic grappling and I thought it would be ok to let them play Tekken 5 on our PS2. They liked it and understood it was just a game, but then one day they started to dress like their fav character, Christie Montero (sp). I always made jokes with them about how she should wear proper clothes, and they laughed because she is dressed in her underwear.

Once they started to identify with the character I cut the game off. They got a talking to about what is appropriate and what is not. Later, when they're closer to puberty I will teach them what message your clothes send.

Like it or not, everything is a lesson. Allow that outfit and you set case-law.
