Do girls HAVE to wear short shorts ?
started by jaijui 7 mnths agoReplies
Most of the women raped are not dressed provocatively at all. I admit teenage girls should dress more modestly and more age appropriate. I don't think it is fair to blame them for crimes against women though.
The only person responsible for the crime is the CRIMINAL, not the victim.
you do have a right to jump out of tall buildings. But do you exercise your right ?
Why do you think a workplace does not allow short-short-mini Shorts or skirts?
BTW, I am repeating my optimum *formula: Length of Shorts, ft = (BMI /25)^3
*Patent pending
Why didn't I think of that when I wore my backless cholis and midriff bearing outfits to dandiya raas last Navratri? Gujarati guys at Navratri didn't commit any crimes against me.
What about the time when I was in college and wearing somewhat transparent white cotton pants and tank tops to class everyday? None of my sex-starved professors, TAs, or classmates raped me.
What about when I was a small kid and wore short shorts and skirts all the time? I don't have any recollection of any child fondlers committing any crimes against me.
"Some sex-starved dog owner at the park or some sex-starved yatch owner at the lake didn't commit any crimes against me, thank God for that."
there were perhaps attractive dogs in that park. maybe you should thank them for taking the attention offa you.
"Why didn't I think of that when I wore my backless cholis and midriff bearing outfits to dandiya raas last Navratri? Gujarati guys at Navratri didn't commit any crimes against me."
it's a well known fact that gujjus guys are a little..you know, effeminate.

explains why you have the deep need to troll about hunweilo, the chinese waiter. lack of attention from males does that to a girl, I'm told.
if I had to state succintly, the bullet point of this presentation would be that you're probably butt ugly. that would be the 'take away' from this.
my maturity has been questioned several times, by my wife no less, so it's something I need to address. however, I've never trolled like an airheaded ditz in order to get attention.
What assures you so much that you are so the knock out type that men could not control their desires after seeing you?I feel that you are an overconfident woman with no touch with reality.Also it seems like you are so fond of using this word "crime".Please madam do not generalize crime differs accross many societies.You stand well protected in this american society and you will get old in this society.At that time when you are old,you will want men to touch you,grope you and slap your bottom but sadly no body would do it.So enjoy it when men still feel like luring at you.I told similar thing to my cousin sister t.She once was complaining that some guys just stare at her,that makes her uncomfortable.I told her down the road that you will crib about men not looking at you and noticing your vitals.So the bottom line is that understand the male nature and accept it as the God's gift and enjoy life.Otherwise when you have flase teeth in your mouth at that time it will be too late to even think of trying the legendry kamsutra.

Wearing short shorts on the other hand, is a deliberate action taken to invite male attention. No different from, say, walking around in a diaphanous negligee. You have every right to do that but when it invites the male attention that it is meant to, don't cry wolf.
Bottom line - women wearing burkas get raped. Young children get raped. Elderly women get raped.
They're not wearing short shorts, they're not inviting anyone.
It's only when a crime happens to a woman do they say she invited attention. A man gets mugged, does anyone say "he was flaunting his Rolex" "he was driving a BMW..he was asking for it."?
We seem to be talking about two separate things - my post was about male reactions to women in skimpy clothes which certainly does not include rape. As any shrink worth her salt would tell you, rape is hardly every about sex, it's almost always an exercise of power.
To reiterate, if you're wearing short shorts in public, you should be ready for catcalls and stares from random males in whose field of vision you may pass.
This is exactly what women dressing provocatively in public want. They're almost always seeking to shore up their sagging self-esteem - either consciously or subconsciously - from the male attention they get from their actions. Of course, at times, the response to other sagging items might be derisive but delusional women can be pardoned for thinking it's all appreciative.
It's a different matter what is provocative in one place might be passe in others, and is entirely driven by local culture. Short shorts meet the criteria in any society as of today. Five years from now, benumbed by endless images of skimpily dressed women, the bar (i.e. hemline) might get higher. At that point, we can all look back and say haha.
"It's a different matter what is provocative in one place might be passe in others, and is entirely driven by local culture."
This is the key - you go to Puerto Rico and people will look at you if you're NOT wearing short and tight fitting clothes, which is the norm. Also, I think by a certain age, women know what clothes get attention and whether they want it or not.
But men have to know that catcalls, noises and whatever are just plain disgusting and not alluring at all - just quite disrespectful and more demeaning to themselves.
Unlike the woman wearing the short shorts, catcallers don't indulge in their behavior to allure or impress. They're just signalling their approval / derision at the body parts the woman has chosen to display. So your feedback to that community is quite wasted - they already know. Any hypocritical show of female disgust at that point would only add to their entertainment.
Well, since you agree that "by a certain age, women know what clothes get attention and whether they want it or not", it only follows that a woman who, armed with that knowledge, wears provocative clothes in public, should not then complain about the attentions.
So you are anti-veils and burquas *and* you are anti-shorts? In that case, please share the specific measurements allowed that are neither too oppressive for us nor too seductive for you.
As for that attempt to bring in the burqa here, let me emulate FlimFlam and say haha!
Just as they have complete license to wear short shorts (but need to be honest about their intent and be ready for the resultant male attention), women have every right to wear a burqa.
However, I'm against forcing women (explicitly or through societal pressure) to wear the burqa and I'm also against special security exemptions for women wearing the burqa - they have to get in line and show their faces to Security just like anyone else. That, if you remember, was the crux of our last discussion on that topic.
See this is when i like Islam.Islam is a very fair religion.It respects the male agression and that same time respects the feminie passiveness.Men are agressive and to label a man criminal just because he got an erection seeing a partially clad woman is ridiculous.It is the woman's job to protect herself by covering herself properly.A partially covered woman commits a crime of "khulwa" according to Islam,thereby triggering the male hormones amongst the men in her surroundings and should be equally charged.Islam never says to rape and attack women,but in a case where the woman in question was the reason behind the provocation she should be punished accordingly along with the involved men.
It should be a crime to only blame the man if the woman was being provocative.I mean why only men should control their desires?A man has a right to be a man and the woman has a right to be a woman.

There are many nudist beaches in Europe, but men there do not get erections. If some (Muslim or Hindu?) man gets an erection there, people will laugh at him. Ok, it has nothing to do with Islam.
Most temples in India display the nude devas and apsaras, but at that time the Indian men were not so much sex-driven: they could appreciate the beauty of the woman's body without getting aroused.
But now it is the times of Kali Yuga, the darker age. Men get aroused even by looking at a piece of a saree.
