Judge a Book by The Cover

I was skimming through the news and came across this article. Main facts of it are that many ladies in North America are offended by a comment made by a police chief where he states that he wishes women would stop dressing like sluts so as to help cut down on the number of rapes. His position seems to be that when you dress a certain way you attract attention including that of those who may rape. Full details on the protest can be found in the link below. What I am looking to touch on today is the belief that sluts dress a certain way.

In the context of the article and in general speaking terms calling a lady a slut is a derogatory way of inferring or downright calling her promiscuous and lacking much moral fiber. It then seemingly links in the officer’s views dressing provocatively with engaging in promiscuous behaviors. In my limited time here on this planet is has come to my observation that you can’t judge a book by its cover or in this case lady by her clothing. I will not dispute that certain dress codes are associated with certain behaviors and certain personalities but this is not an absolute fact. Many conservatively dressed ladies have partaken in behaviors way below that of the stereotypical “sluts.”

Many females who may dress scantily and dance provocatively from 6:30 onward are in fact not promiscuous. Many have one partner that they have been committed to for years. Meanwhile we look up to many professional ladies in their attire and mannerisms when in fact these ladies engage a rotation policy that would make the WICB shake their heads. These same professional ladies look down through their Louis Vuitton glasses on the other ladies whose only difference is that they do their acts behind closed doors. Many take the old saying of a lady in the streets and a freak in the sheets fully to heart. The only issue is they are doing it repeatedly with every person who gives them a little time and attention.

I say all this to say that unless we are changing the standard definition of the word to mean a lady who dresses a certain way that we need to stop stereotyping due to dress. The lady in the short skirt with her breast 2 jiggles away from jumping out may be the best wife a gentleman can have due to her loyalty and commitment to her boo whilst the lady sitting over there in her cubicle with a skirt 2cm above a library assistant’s may be the easiest sex to acquire for any living being.
