"Nothing wrong with it, but I'd want more for my daughter"

Recently, I read some thoughts from a woman who noted that her teenage neice hung out with a girl (Let's call her "Alice") who comes from what appears, on the outside, to be a decent family. Alice's father is a minister and her mother is a stay at home mom. The family spends time together on family outings. Alice informed this woman that her idol is a woman named Kendal from "The Girls Next Door". Apparently, "The Girls Next Door" is a television show about playboy founder Hugh Hefner and his girlfriends. Alice wants to be one of Hefner's girlfriends. Since she he is not allowed to watch the show at home she watches it at her friends' houses. The woman writing these thoughts commented, "Is there anything wrong with being a playmate? Not really. But I would hope my daughter would want to be more than a pretty face and that she would not want to be one of three girlfriends." Really? Is that what this woman really thinks?
Even though the family spends time together, Alice appears to have her eyes on removing herself from what she considers to be moral restraints. This would lead me to conclude that just because a father is a minister doesn't mean that everything is done in a proper and prioritized manner at home. Having been in vocational ministry for over a decade, I have seen far too many ministry families where the father is just as absent as any other family, and the children feel just as neglected as someone whose dad might be a doctor, an attorney or flat out not there at all. Inevitably, young women, if not getting a positive connection and affection from their dad at home, will turn to other avenues to receive attention. In this case, Alice would seem to believe that the attention and affection she would receive by exposing her body and being sexually promiscuous will fill the void created by a lack of affection from home. Sadly, she’s not alone. There are thousands of young women who would jump at the chance that Alice is desiring. Folks, we have sown to the wind, and we are reaping the whirlwind.
Now, regarding her statement that, "there isn’t anything wrong” with being a playmate, yet she hopes her daughter would be more than a pretty face or the third part of a polygamous relationship, her use of the word “more” would indicate that she believes being a pretty face and one of three girlfriends is less, or something to be looked down upon. Yet if she doesn't see anything wrong with it, why would she look down upon it and not want it for her daughter? Do you see the mess that relative morality is making in people's ability to think reasonably?
I have three daughters and I can unequivocally say that I would find it extremely wrong and flat out unacceptable for them to put themselves in such a degrading and disreputable position. Brothers and sisters in Christ, it’s perfectly okay to say that there are absolute rights and absolute wrongs, especially when it comes to our children. As a parent, I have a duty and obligation to protect my children from being exposed to things that are morally objectionable, and more importantly, to train them as they become young men and women to discern biblically what is right and wrong, regardless of what politically correct advocates say about values. Moral relativism, taken to its logical conclusion, will lead to chaos at best and anarchy at worst, but even worse than that, a plethora of individual broken hearted men and women, like the young woman "Alice" from the home of a minister.
