Yes, the fashion marketed to young women can be pretty skanky, but that is a fact we all know. I am talking about women working at hooters who wear it like a badge, or women who spend excessive amount of time and money getting hair extensions and spray on tans, women who get all of their confidence from what men think of them, women who disfigure their bodies with cosmetic surgery.

Its mind boggling.

I guess I used to dress somewhat hoochie, but I never acted that way.

I started realising all of this when I was an exotic dancer for a year (because I had to do it), not because I wanted to "feel sexy" or some bullcrap. I had to pay for some medical bills, buy a new car, and go back to college.

This was around the time I started dressing more conservative. I was being hit on and stared at all night at work and then during the day in my free time. Its straight up disrespect that some women take as a compliment. I was always being stared at like some toy (both at work and not at work). I realised that some people enjoy this. Some people enjoy the creepy leers.

Its one thing for someone to compliment you, but its another thing to yell "Thank-you daddy" across a crowded street.


Anyways, as soon as I paid for everything I needed to I went back to bartending.

It seems like a lot of young girls are just wannabe strippers. Its really sad.

In the 50s, society was turning young women into stepford wives.Now todays society is turning the young women into Stepford Sluts.

Why are so many women basing their self-worth off of what some horny guys think of them?

Its just really sad to me.

I am 21 so maybe I am just ahead of my time
I agree a lot of what we're seeing in society is a response to the fast life celebrity culture that's so popular today.

Within that culture of celebrity "everyone thinks they're a star", so focus on the superficial and what people look like is very important to them. It's all flash and no substance. I'm glad you can see this phenomenon for what it is - hopefully with the 20-aught's over with we're moving into the 20-teens and a changing/maturing of social values.

Why does it seem that some people don't believe we can evolve better morals for modern times, simply for the sake of equality? Would it be wrong if women can bare their breasts in public as equally as men; or dress any way they like.

I don't think it soceity, I think it so called "reality" tv. Step away from the box and embrace real life. People who aren't posturing for a camera aren't so bad. ....and if they are? walk away like from the social v.d. they are.

Why so judgmental? What happened to people skills and tolerance?
