Oh, but you were saying that the women who dress kinky are looking for trouble from men....

The.Big.Urban:
Back to the topic,


Feminism is about women's rights, equality and empowerment.

^^
It is the last word that divides feminists- "empowerment"


1)Some feminists take "empowerment" as women getting educated and into places of authority/responsibility
2)Some feminists take "empowerment" as defeating men or getting even with men



It is the second group of feminists that give feminists a bad name. Feminazis

The.Big.Urban:



Then give examples of other feminist subcultures that make feminism look bad

texanomaly:

Actually I said women who wear micro-minis to work were looking to sleep their way to the top in the business world.

texanomaly:

I believe I covered that already. If you failed to read it, I can't help you.

Mynd_44:
And this is so simple. Forget the "feminazis" sef. There is no point giving em names. We know that in every group or society, there will be people who deviate from the plan and have their own ideals and make up their constitution.

Look at the Muslims, there are Muslims who just want to be Muslims and worship Allah without being violent and mind their business but there are some who go violent in the name of religion hence they kill and destroy. Do we call all Muslims evil cos of that?

In Christianity, the church was known to kill scientists in the old days, hell in their quest for the holy land, they committed sins even I am ashamed of. Are they Christians? Yes but can you hold me responsible for their crimes? Even now, there are Christians who commit crimes in the name of God like Killing their mum cos "God" told them she is a witch. Are they Christians? Is that person a murderer? Can we call all Christians Muderers?

We need to learn to take the good points and treat people for who they are not just generalise and say all Femnists believe in something

The.Big.Urban:



No one wears micro-minis to work in a formal company.

Stop switching. The word is "mini-skirt".


THE POINT REMAINS; YOU CANT JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER. YOU CAN NOT TELL A WOMAN'S INTENTIONS ALWAYS FROM THE WAY SHE DRESSES.


Example

1) A woman with big boobies was sacked from work because her female boss felt that her dressing was indecent in the sense that her boobies were prominent.
However, the woman's boobies were so big that no matter the buttoned blouse she wore, it would be impossible to button it to the top and so, she always left one button undone.

There was no way she could be decent as buttoned blouses were the formal uniform for the company.

texanomaly:

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha...seriously? She can't button her blouse? I am healthily endowed. I can see her dilema. Somehow I can cover my br.easts in the workplace.

The.Big.Urban:



As expected. You make false claims and then dodge when told to prove them.


Feel free to link to these feminist subcultures that you mentioned.....post the links to your earlier comments on the topic.

should be simple

texanomaly:

As I said...my stance is plainly written on this thread. You have commented on most of what I've said here. What more can I do than I have done? If you want to analyze and critique my every comment, be my quest. It is all in black and white. Except for the smilies. They are black and green. Although some have white. Oh...and some have red. Yeah...some have red. Like the kisses, the tongue and the blush. Yup...not all green.

texanomaly:

When did I become the Ambassador de Christian chatbox? I gave my opinion. I’m not the fashion police.

Everyone has made good points. This is my opinion, for what it’s worth. It is never wise to go by what “society” says is appropriate. Most times “society” lets celebrities choose what is “in”.

This is a Christian chatbox. In the end, if you look in the mirror and honestly think, “Yes. I would wear this in front of God.” He sees us always. If we are honest with ourselves and with God, we are good.

texanomaly:
@ Mynd…Who told you mini shirts are appropriate office attire? If a woman wants to be taken seriously in the workplace, she does not wear a mini skirt. Now if the vibe she is after is, “I’m willing to sleep my way to the top.” Then the micro-mini is the way to go. As for these woman you claim are wearing mini skirts because it’s easier to trek up and down stairs…really? Spare me! There are plenty of longer skirts that are not restricting at all. Kick pleats for one. Seriously? “It’s easier to go up and down the stairs if the person behind me can see my a$$.” bi o ti wa ni yi lare? Excuses are excuses no matter how you package them.
@ topic
There was a time when being naked was the norm, and was not seen as a problem. I see now what PAGAN 9JA meant when he said the media has sexualized nud.ity. It is an unfortunate reality. The innocence is gone. No matter how we try to overlook it. No matter how we try to pretend showing almost everything is not a big deal, it is too late. The images that the commercial media has bombarded us with have guided our minds as to what is “sexy, alluring, and provocative”.
We can look away, we can learn to withstand temptation, we can go back and forth about who may not be attracted to this or that, but in the end we are answerable to God. We need only be honest when we look in the mirror.

netotse: Hey guys,

There is a common theme running through this thread that I think we need to do away with. The idea that for me to be right, the other party must be wrong, things simply dont work that way.

There are people that dress provocatively and they know this(in a fair number of cases). This is wrong, simple and short!
There are men that are unable to control themselves, equally simple and even shorter sef!

Now in the context of this thread:
As christians we are to be guided by the bible and the bible condemns both the men that lack self control and women that dress to tempt. C'est fini. Where is the problem here?

If you dress and your conscience is clear (clear conscience is worlds apart from "I dont care" or "it's not my business if he cant control himself" ) then as a christian you're good to go. If your conscience isnt clear...the matter is between you and God.

Wait sef, why are we focusing on girls sef? Guys tempt girls too na, I mean only Uj has admitted to being tempted by hairy legs(uj chop knuckle jare, nothing do you ).

This is the christians chatbox not the lawyers/philosophers hangout spot...let's not long the thing.

ihedinobi2:

This ^^ and



this ^^ are why you had to wake up

Of course the conclusion is that it is God with Whom we have to do. If we cannot present these arguments we're making here to God Himself, we had better stop doing whatever we feel we need to defend with these arguments.

As far as modesty goes, I think the rule is merely to be considerate how what we do and how we dress affect others. In this particular case, the emphasis is on women because whether feminists agree or disagree the male folk are designed with a vulnerability to women's appearance. Even way back when in Igboland we dressed sparsely, there was a reason for decking oneself out in certain specific manners if you were a woman. A woman took special care to look a certain way when she meant to send out sexxual signals.

That has not changed even if the particular appearance that sends that sexxual message has changed. The story of modesty is merely that women should be careful to avoid sending out those cues.

texanomaly:

Did I say women who dress a certain way deserve to be rap.ed? You may have seen that on this thread, but not typed by my hand. No one deserves to be rap.ed.

ihedinobi2:

Did you see that written anywhere here, Tex?

texanomaly:

I believe I did. I could be wrong. Perhaps it was that they cause it themselves, by what they were wearing. It implies something very close to the a fore mentioned though, does it not?

Serious question for texanomaly and the other women on this chatbox. So if you decide to wear slippers on a summer day but with a modest dressing (big flowing gown) but then, a man with a foot fetish harasses you......would you then make the argument that it was your fault that you chose to arouse the man with your slippers and show your beautiful feet?

ATMC: Yetsheyi

The.Big.Urban:



Dont you feel a little bit foolish or hypocritical when you hammer on women's dressing all the time and yet somehow forget to talk about male dressing.......WHILE YOU ARE A MAN?
