Hi Everyone!
So, why am I on here today because Devin got really passionate about this because it's something that pisses her off. Wearing short dress, or short skirts, or exposing your chest does not make you a slut. For one thing, we need to eliminate those words. It's ridiculous these words exist. This whole concept of "showing skin" makes you a whore, or that you are dressing disrespectful, is annoying.
When we came out of our mother's Nunu. And yes, I just called it that because my best friend calls it that, and I think it's hilarious. We came out nakey. No baby came out clothed. That'd be just fucking weird. Skin is part of nature, and when it comes to the female body, it get's ridiculous how much taboo we put on it. So much taboo to the point that when we show some of it, people get shocked at seeing some cleavage.
And who in the hell doesn't like seeing boobies? Like who are you? Even gay men like boobies! Show your boobies more. It's stupid that a man can go around without his shirt on and it be fine. He has nipples. But if I was take my shirt off, it'd be a problem. Does a little extra fat, a little bump, make it inappropriate?
No. It's because we put so much taboo on the woman's body. We have made it this object that is so untouchable, and it's suppose to be sacred, and only shown to one man. And we have to cover up. By covering it up we are respecting ourselves. And it's kind of ridiculous because it's just skin! By me showing it and dressing how I want to dress does not say anything about my morals. It doesn't say who I sleep with and even if it did, it's none of your business.
It doesn't say anything about the person I am. When did sex and being a bad person fall hand in hand? How does having sex or dressing a certain a way harm anyone else? Why is it that we down on women and tell them they look like sluts? I just don't understand. These words need to stop. They are specifically for women. Specifically to down on them. And to keep us scared of our own bodies.
By doing this, telling us to watch what we wear, and ridiculing us for it, it makes us fearful of our own bodies. This is my body. MY BODY. I have the right to do with it as I please. I can wear what I want. I can walk around naked if I want. It doesn't mean I'm a whore or slut. It just means that I think I have some legs and a nice ass and I like showing them off. I'm proud of my body.
AND I LIKE BOOBIES! I mean who doesn't? I just don't understand. They're pretty. The female body is beautiful. My coworker said the other day. She's a female and she was talking about how she likes looking at women more than men. The female body doesn't have to be overtly sexual. And yet we make it that way.
And what happens is women end up fearing their own bodies. We start thinking differently of ourselves because of how we look on the outside. And it needs to stop.
I will tell you this. I'm not saying that by us walking around naked we can eliminate rape. But I do know the more we make the woman body so taboo, the more we give others the ability to have power of it. Because when you make something untouchable, or make it to where it needs to be covered, it gives more people a reason to want to take advantage of it. People that are searching for power take things that are cloaked in fear and they use it. They use it to gain power.
Everyone knows that rape isn't about sex. It has nothing to do with the physicality of it. It's about power. It's why people rape people. Because it makes them feel powerful because they were able to take something that isn't theirs.
THE ONLY REASON WHY WE CALL WOMEN SLUTS BECAUSE OF THE WAY THEY DRESS IS BECAUSE OF THE TABOO WE PLACE ON FEMALE SEXUALITY.
And taboo is just bad people. Look it up. Do your research. Anything that is considered taboo, people are drawn to because it's something you aren't suppose to do or like.
All I'm trying to say is just let your boobies show. You know? You want to walk around with cleavage showing, do it. If you want to wear short shorts, do it. You should be able to wear whatever you want. Rock it. Because you aren't a slut. Or whore. Or hoe. Because the body is just a vessel. It's a vessel for a soul. The body. Your clothes. It says nothing about who you are on the inside. The soul is what we should be looking at. That's what we should be trying to see.
Stop with the words. Stop with thinking that dressing a certain way makes you a certain way. It's part of why America is screwed. Those are ideologies of a "Don't Get Raped" culture. Showing skin doesn't mean that you can take advantage of me, or disrespect me. No. I dress this way because I want to.
And you, you should act like a decent human being. It's as simple as that.
