Where Do You Stand On This ?

[Bazile]

Why are women still judged by what they wear ?

Do you think anything above the ckeeky level is a no no ?

any photos em?
:-)

[naomi24]

Sorry, that was to Mick-Talbot, but I agree with you too, Em.

[emmie]

daffy, no they don't, some men and women seem to think it though, which i find distinctly odd.

[boxtops]

I certainly think a lot of women think they look good from the front - they haven't seen the back view :-(

[emmie]

zeuhl, some, but none i would ever post on any website,
i looked good in them, it was the time of swinging London, Mary Quant, Biba and good fun..

Dollyrockers, em....

[emmie]

boxy, not quite sure what dollyrockers are, ?

[Zeuhl]

Chelsea Girl em?

[Bazile]

You often see women wearing short skirts , which frankly does not compliment thier physique .

Now , i'm not criticising their physique - ( before anyone gets the double barrell out )

[emmie]

no, was more west end girl, clubs, parties, chelsea girls were a bit stuck up as i recall... never heard that term by the way...
see if can find something similar to what i could get away with...

[boxtops]

Dollyrockers was a clothing firm, em - Mods wore Dollyrockers

[emmie]

some mods wore ben shermans, mohair suits, and short haircuts. I remember it well,

[brionon]

I just HATE the fashion police. Let people wear what they will-diversity is great. Oh and I love what some call 'Mutton dressed as Lamb.'

[Sqad]

Yepp! the classification seems quite accurate to me....

[Canary42]

Any form of stereotyping is offensive IMHO.

[joko]

who actually read the article?

i read it and some of the comments below it - and i was amazed at how many people clearly hadnt read it.

[emmie]

read it, don't care, wear what you want, when you want, the only thing i don't like and it's my choice, are tattoos, i can't abide them, but plenty of men and women have them, their choice.

[joko]

from your comments though em, im not sure you get what shes trying to say with it.

it sounds like you are a bit angry at her for it...?

she is saying exactly what you are ... she is flagging up how stupid and simplistic and ignorant the judgements are ... not actually making those judgements herself ...

[Scylax]

Everything about you says something about you. We all make initial judgments based on what is displayed: clothes, hairstyle, voice, accent, body language, etc. This has to suffice until we know a person better.

Baseball caps, trainers, tattoos and mohican haircuts are as much a uniform as sports jackets, collar-and-tie, neat haircuts and polished leather shoes.

Wear what you wish, but be aware of the message you are sending.

[emmie]

joko, no i am not, but do hear comments like doesn't she look slutty, why would he wear that, really isn't anyone's business is it...
