On the whole 'dress code' debate....

There's basically no way to directly address this situation without insulting someone so I'm just gonna go for it:

"A woman should wear what she wants!"
"Don't I have the freedom to chose what to wear?"
"I shouldn't get dress-coded for your lust!"

We tend to hear that a lot. There's a lot of controversy about it. Honestly, I'm tired of hearing it so often.

So here's my basic view of it:

This seems to be going off two hyper-boled points, and that is (a) a woman has the freedom to wear what she likes, and (b) men are full of lust.

First off, let us admit it as fact, women are also full of lust. If you don't believe me, look up 'Lee Pace' on Pinterest and read the descriptions thousands of women put in.

Second off, YES, YOU HAVE FREEDOMS! Good for you! And me!

But...

We may have freedoms, but are we not to avoid leading others into sin?

Listen, I've gotta be rude, if what you're wearing draws attention to certain areas you wish wouldn't be noticed, then isn't that your fault? You chose the outfit, you looked in the mirror, you. saw. what. that. outfit. emphasized.
And there are limits.



I like these types of shirts because they make me look taller and less chunky, so I don't feel like a polar bear when I'm around my friends (most of whom are shorter and of smaller build than me) so I'm more comfortable and will have a more enjoyable time.

Yet that shirt stays well above the breast area, and I'm earnestly searching for one which isn't tight across the chest either (I'm not trying to make myself sound better than anyone else, I'm just using myself as an example so that way any arguments that come to this post are directed at me and not innocent bystanders.)

But I fail to see how displaying ample breasts or wearing basically jean underpants could be either comfortable or pleasing to oneself. If that earns me the title of 'sheltered', then I shall address that in another post. The point is: don't wear something you know will get the wrong attention then blame the person who gives the attention to you. You're basically asking for it. It's like putting a beer in front of an alcoholic then being shocked and angered that they even thought about drinking it.
