I see this all around as well.  It's interesting to me how few men actually do show any obvious reaction.  In fact, I never see it.  When I was growing up and into my teens and twenties .. it seemed that you'd often see (or experience) men turning around when they passed a woman,, or would look at her blatantly, saying something, calling out from a car .. (NOT that this is a good thing, in fact, I hated that type of thing), but I absolutely never observe that anymore at all.  You could see the most attractive woman dressed immodestly and you'll see guys walking by as if she's invisible.  No perceptable response by anyone.  You kind of wonder why women keep doing it when they aren't getting any "positive" feedback!

Sometimes I think that without intentionally trying to, many (even secular) men are forced to practice custody of the eyes (and thoughts too) just to get by in the day to day business of life. I also think that men are both 1) afraid of sɛҳuąƖ harrassment charges, and 2) have become so saturated with these images, that they've become less and less sensitive, i.e., consciously reactive to them.  

I know, alaric that you've noticed otherwise you wouldn't have mentioned it.  But I think that it's such an aggressive act by the women, ... that most men have just shut off to the stimuli.  And frankly, it's like a female version of attack.  It's less about sɛҳuąƖity, as it is about power.

Like I said, women need to be kept in under control because they get out of hand in a hurry and when they get ogled for it, of course, all the guys are "pigs" for giving the attention they so desperately want. Total illogic.

How do you suggest women be kept under control?  Should their husbands spank them? :rolleyes:

I think he means husbands should correct their wives when they dress immodestly.

You can write your letter directly to the woman who has offended against modesty or to the manager.  

Heck, write to both of them.

Al Bundy is my hero. I'm actually writing a comprehensive book on this show, if I ever get around to it. I know everything about it.

I complained once at my bank about the music they play and the teller actually started arguing with me.

They play music like that in the banks in Canada?  Strange.

It is also strange she would be invested in defending it.  But maybe not.  A large section of women seem to have decided collectively that they are going to besiege men with this sort of thing.  The slutwalks show that it is ideological, thought out, intentional, shameless, not just a fad, no, they're self-righteous about it.  

They want to make men walk on egg shells, they want to make accusations on any pretext.

Society has changed a great deal since this article was written:

Quote from: alaric

What is is with men these days approving their wives exposing themselves like this?

There are no men, just a bunch of weenies, pansies, or closet sodomites. Any man that has no courage to stand up to a woman in my opinion should be ashamed of himself and not call himself a man.

  If you ask him he will say:' I am open-minded, I am modern, logical and up-to date. I see my wife as a human person with freedom of choice,she is an adult who knows what is best for her and can decide. spouses have to respect eachother's views and opinions." etc. He is himself as brainwashed as his wife.
  If a guy feels the social pressure to appear ''progressed'' and ''modern'' he will force his wife to dress like that.

 

Well, I know this thread is about the woman, but something I find equally offensive on a man, is when he wears his pants hanging off his fat arse, showing...umm, well let's just say it makes a girl gag.  Too gross for words    

Oh you're definitely right about that. I've seen plenty of ghetto wannabe gangsters dressed like that. In fact I mentioned that in my thread about the sloven dress of men.
