Is it only me who finds some outfits too scanty and scandalous for women to wear or I’m just too old fashioned to complain??
My question may sound too sarcastic but that’s one topic every baddie of this century wants to avoid especially those calling themselves ‘Gen Z baddies’ everywhere.
Although, scanty outfits for females had been around for centuries but only the decent women with good moral standards would never be carried away or pushed into wearing them.
First off, as a young lady revealing too much of your ‘skin’ can never and will never earn you any respect from the opposite sex, let that sink into your brain. If you disagree with this claim, you can try a poll or vox pop on that.
Secondly, you will always be addressed exactly the way you are dressed and I’m sure you know how women of easy virtue are addressed and ravaged?? Oh yes, exactly, that’s how you will be addressed and properly ‘manhandled’ by ‘i guess you know who they are, right??” I don’t need to tell you, who those ones are.
Thirdly, you will surely attract your kind. There are no two ways about that. You will surely get back the vibes you send out there. Because you can’t possibly dress like a ‘tart’ to an event and attract cool-headed folks. Your vibes will only attract tart minded folks to you and there is nothing you can do about that. Even when you try to shrug them off that’s when they would get turned on by you.
Globally, indecent dressing remains of the reasons, there are many rape cases everywhere. Even though some feminists have refuted this claim without proper statistics.
A recent research conducted has shown that most prevalent cause of rape in the society is “Indecent dressing”. And that, women with indecent sense of dressing are ten times prone to rapist attacks than those who decently dressed.
Having said that, to justify themselves, there are some lies these ladies who are addicted to scanty outfits often tell themselves and those around them. You would hear them defensively say: “Don’t judge me by what I put on, I know who I am”. ‘I’m a good girl, with trendy vibes’ and so on.
Listen, decency isn’t only a thing of mind, it must also reflect outwardly. There is no way you can feign decency if you have it in you, it would definitely reflect through what you put on and the vibes you send out.
However, the ironic part of this conversation is, we have seen some ladies who tend to feign decency through their ‘all covered up’ outfit yet madly loose than those who dress scantily. Stories like these abound in some religiously controlled climes where scriptural injunctions are used as weapons to gag the freedom of the other gender.
Nonetheless, weighing the pros and cons of indecent dressing will always help our women to know the right thing to do, thereby promoting sanity in our society.
