Should women be only allowed to wear certain clothing, stick to a strict dress code or something? No, I didn't say that. I just said that that could lead to further objectification of women. If they expect other people to respect their bodies they should respect them themselves is all. I just don't see how flaunting or being promiscuous is in any way an empowerment. Are they doing it for themselves or men around them? If it's for themselves and that's how they want to dress then sure, knock yourself out, but if they objectify themselves men are going to do that too. That being said I'm not blaming women or anything, a guy should have enough self control to keep himself from freaking raping someone, but I just don't see how that's empowerment. they're not turning themselves into an object, they're dressing in a way that makes them feel good. like objectification is when (usually, but not excusively) women are turned into a sex object used to appease to a primarily male audience. whereas a woman wearing clothes that may be revealing is not the same thing. (also??? most outfits that objectified characters wear are nowhere in the realm of normal clothes. like a women dont go out wearing a skimpy bra and thong. also objectification usually enlarges..... certain parts of anatomy so) I don't know you and I was talking to Fort, and most of what you said doesn't really have anything to do with my statements so I'm just going to wait for Fort to reply if he wants to... That's am immature and rude thing to say. What Rem said was valid and appropriate, there's no reason for you to be acting the way you are. I thought you were better than that. In any case, I agree with what he(?) said completely. It goes to show what your opinion of women is if you're questioning whether the entire female motive for wearing anything that doesn't hide their bodies totally is to seem more attractive to men. It's very rude and insulting.
