the only thing that annoys me is this quote unquote modesty thing that I hear a lot from women born before the 1970s “I don’t understand why they walk around like that. Disrespectful” but I just say times have changed and I like to respectfully argue so I keep it going if they keep it going
not a problem and way more scrutiny aren’t the same. Plus there are different sides of the coin. A skimpy outfit on a guy would have accusations of him being gay and flashy. On a girl, she’s a full on slut. Don’t dismiss other ppl just because you think the magnifying glass should be on a different target. All genders can struggle with these things in different ways.
The modesty thing actually pisses me off, even more so when they bring religion into it like the Bible doesn’t tell you to gouge your eyes out if you look at a woman lustfully. I wear what I want bc I have free will and I enjoy how it looks on me and it’s literally no one else in the world’s business bc other ppl also have a choice: the choice to LOOK AWAY, it’s literally that easy
Religion is the only one I get. It pisses me off when they start saying the way I dress is disrespecting other people or myself. I am going to the mall with my friends. Or I am at a pool get together with three other girls😭. It’s very appropriate for the situation but you don’t think it’s ever appropriate to wear bc I have a bigger chest or wider hips.
The claim that women get called sluts for wearing skimpy outfits is so outdated it may as well be in history books. When’s the last time you actually heard someone in real like be called a slut for wearing skimpy clothes and it actually carry any weight? Skimpy clothing on women is now so commonplace anyone slut shaming is seen as old fashioned and out of touch. Why are we still claiming it’s a thing? It’s not. You get the odd grumble here and there but for the most part it’s incomparable
I’m a woman and I’m speaking from my point of view. I don’t have the point of view of a man because I’m not a man. I encourage you to share your point of view and why you think men are scrutinized harshly, but I’ll still support the viewpoint that women are scrutinized too. The way you are stating things makes it sound like you’re completely dismissing that women go through these issues too, which is not right.
I think men experience some scrutiny, most while dressing feminine, but I think OP meant more like no matter what a woman wears she’ll always have to hear some kind of complaint about it. She’s wearing a suit, why r u pretending to be a man? A dress, who r u showing off for? Cowboy boots, she’s a poser etc etc. I think women have a unique thing where they can wear men’s clothes with little to no backlash, comparatively to men wearing fem clothes, however they do get a significant amount of-
Critiques no matter what they wear. The original comment also wasn’t meant to solve world peace lol. It’s clearly just someone being upset with how women r treated no matter how they dress, even girls that dress inside the norm r heavily criticized as well. Men also face some scrutiny when it involves fem clothes but I don’t think it’s anywhere near what women face, at least in the public sphere. There could be an argument for it in smaller circles, but it’s no where near the systemic issue it-
Is for women. Also saying that slut shaming is outdated is wild, it’s still very much a thing that many women experience all over the world. It’s deeply rooted in some religions and in our patriarchal society and is not going anywhere soon unfortunately. While it’s improving and much better than years past it’s not completely gone.
