Picture me and colourful family riding in on the highway on a hot summer afternoon. By looking at her right, Mom saw a middle aged man running/jogging without a t-shirt.
That's when Mom dropped the bomb:
"Men like that just inspire women to go crazy when wearing clothes"
AI?! WHAT?!
Dad:
"But you really don't hear people saying if a MAN is dressing indecently"
So that's the topic for this post. Dressing indecently. And why men aren't linked to this.
Why is it that dressing indecently is connected to women only?
Wikipedia states " Decency is the measure of an object's worth and value " So, it this saying that decency only applies to women just in order to keep their worth and value.
And what value is that?
A good enough value so that a woman can be wedded off.
A good enough value so that a woman can get the top job.
A good enough value so that a woman can be called decent.
Is that so?
In my childhood, I wasn't allowed to go to the market after 6 o'clock in the evening, because "it is not good for girls." Girls had to sit like this, kneel for the elders, take care of the little ones, never whistle at night "or else the omoosota (snake) will bite you". HA, so does the snake smell if it's victim has a penis or not?! Naawe!
In my mother's childhood, she and her sisters were the ones responsible for cleaning, cooking and taking care of the house when Grandmother was away. Guess where the boys where. Yeah, outside playing kapilaa (football).
It disgusts me that I portray myself in a mannered and proper way JUST because I'm a girl.
Boys can have multiple lovers and sex partners without being labeled as "whores" or "filthy". Please, just because I lack a wee-wee doesn't mean another with one isn't filthy as well.
But "issues such as decency are more difficult to define and handle because they reflect a large variety of personally subjective, culturally related and historically changing values and attitudes", so since I'm not a professor or very good in my written English, I might as well stop now. But decency has to apply to men too!
Oh and to all you men "saggin", please I don't want to look at your ass. My have mine to look at in the minor!(all day, every day)

Great post, girl! I can really relate.

We relate indeed! But it's a man's world- which is sad. I'm glad more and more women are seeing that it doesn't have to be like this though
