Rather ingenious commentary on the way women are judged by how they dress.
“If you see a girl wearing something you see as distasteful, then you automatically discount them as a person and you don’t give them the opportunity to really be somebody in your eyes. And that’s really shameful.”

To be fair, I do much the same for men as well. The discounting of people based on dress that is.

]]>Agreed. I was talking about my own personal views. I tend to ignore women dressed in manners I dislike. Whereas I am more inclined to judge a male book by its cover.

]]>Understood. It’s interesting how we judge and how we react to that judgment.

]]>While I agree that this is true and should not be done, it is also important for us all to realize that there are always consequences for our actions, including how we dress. If you dress like a gangsta, expect people to call you a gangsta and treat you like a gangsta, no matter how angelic a person you might be. Same for dressing like a slut (meaning the show your boobs neckline with the show your butt skirt). Is it fair? Absolutely not, and it certainly does not justify rape and other forms of violence (physical and verbal), but we do need to be aware of what the ramifications of our actions may be, take appropriate action to protect ourselves, and not act shocked when people, especially those who do not know us, jump to erroneous conclusions. In short, choose your battles wisely.
