It is inappropriate when women show skin in public, amirite?

Move to a deeply religious community, then. Skin is just skin

I don't think kids care, if they can see a womens belly, they don't care, same goes for cleavage, they are kids, why would they care? Its really u who has the problem, not the kids. I can understand if people were naked, but just let them go around in what they find comfortable.

But bare shoulders though!? Are you sure the children will be okay?

Better just put a big bag over them, that way they can cosplay a ghost as well.

by Anonymous 1 week ago

I think you're right. That's the only safe way.

by Anonymous 1 week ago

yes, this way they can also learn about ghosts, and learn to feel safe around them. and maybe men should do this too, just in another color, that way we can tell each apart, I mean think of the small girls, they don't want to see hairy legs, or bare arms.

This gave me a visual of everyone walking around in different colored bags, everywhere, and it wasn't going well. Everyone was bumping into each other and running into things. I'm also high and that made it more amusing (devil's grass). I only mention that because OP would probably be highly offended. My shoulders aren't showing, but they're there though just the same, under my t-shirt.

Only if you are taught that's something wrong

Well, it is wrong to be very scantily clad in public. I think there's a line.

by mariela09 1 week ago

Well, I don't think it's wrong. As long as your genitals aren't showing, it's nobody's business but yours how you dress

by sprice 1 week ago

It only made you uncomfortable as a child because you were taught it was wrong and prohibited.

by Dizzy-Design 1 week ago

I mean, they are dumb. You were taught that it's wrong and therefore you as a child we're judging strangers based off clothes, that is a dumb thing to do. Growing up you should learn that it's not right to judge based on looks.

You know, when you're offended by things that don't even concern you in society but do give you „a bad feeling", it's more likely you struggle with your own sexuality/sexualization, not the society.

Yeah, usually you need only ask them why they consider some certain behavior "immoral" and then it usually boils down to taught bigotry. It's like, two guys holding hands will upset some people but only if they've been raised to think that homosexual relations are wrong. It goes the same way with nudity. Like usually when they talk about nudity it's like there's some sexual seduction or promiscuity angle, and that's only immoral if you think sex is immoral. While religious folks are out there complaining about how the women are dressed, everyone else is finding out there's lots of ways to enjoy life. Religion is about providing a sense of community for individuals and one way to reinforce that sense of community is to have a shared denial of desire, where showing you can deny that desire signals to the group that you can be trusted. In some religions it's pork or beef. In others it's alcohol. In some, its about sex. You're taught that your group is superior because you can resist these things, so you look down on anyone who doesn't.

I feel like people so rarely cross that line though. Like the only time I ever see really exposed clothing is at bars and clubs (which I find to be entire socially acceptable, considering those environments are designed for adults only). I'm outside every day and at least where I'm from, which is a relatively socially progressive western country, I never see anyone wearing anything too crazy during the daytime. I just feel this is a complete non-issue.

Fair that it's a different point. I'm a woman. I know exactly how this feels. But you're right. I wish we didn't have to police this. But I'm not as strong as my sisters - I would rather just keep my head down and move on. Thank you for challenging me in a civil way! Appreciate it.

by mariela09 1 week ago

but there's a kernel of truth in there. ok, but then there has to be a negative consequence for someone following these "inappropriate behaviours", besides "I feel bad because I think it is inappropriate". What are these consequences?

by PuzzleheadedCover944 1 week ago

We are losing those "traditional values" because they aren't inherently moral. They are a means of control that people are rejecting. It has nothing to do with what's good for children because children are innocent. Shoulders, cleavage, ankles…none of them are scandalous or sexualized by children.

Nailed it. It's bogus morality. Personally, I'm much more upset about poverty and lousy education systems than shoulder exposure (although I hope people wear sunscreen at least).

by Casimer49 1 week ago

Shoulders? Really? We're not walking around with our vagina out. If you get distracted by us showing some skin maybe you're the problem.

by mspinka 1 week ago

Men are walking around half-naked, yet no complains about that...

by Proud-Ad 1 week ago

....we are going BACKWARDS by ignoring.... old values? Do you are have stupid? Not only is the take itself asinine, but the attempt at logic woven into it.....

by Anonymous 1 week ago

Please go back to your religious town and leave us in peace. It is not up to you or other men to police our clothing.

Shoulders? Lol

by Outside-Young-564 1 week ago

"Religious" & "Tradition"? Combine those two words together, & you've got: Control. Women don't dress for you! But if you really can't control yourself around- Gasp! Bare shoulders! I suggest you find a gated religious community & live there instead.

Sorry, my Yennefer cosplay costume has bare shoulders!

Women only? Why you bash women, when men walk around half-naked? And not everything has to be kid-friendly. We are not living for someone's kids.

and not good for children or people expecting a wholesome environment Explain the damage done

Traditionalists have to explain. To their 14 year old bride how it's indecent a woman show shoulders

by Anonymous 1 week ago

Yeah huh, what do you think about men walking around with their shirts off and their pants around their ankles. In full view of children

by Anonymous 1 week ago

Exactly. You and me think the same.

by Proud-Ad 1 week ago

What about men letting a big ol' fat belly flop around? Yes, women shouldn't dress like whores, but men shouldn't dress like slobs either.
