What's going on? Female Dignity's out of the window

I don't intend to be judgemental or condescending, and I certainly don't want to be judge and jury in my own court, but this blog came to mind as a logical deduction from a scenario that took place on a night out the other weekend.It's really depressing sometimes to go out to the clubs and see the state of undress of some of my fellow sistas all in the name of 'fashion'. I always thought the whole essence of a night out is to get dressed up to the nines and show off your latest and trendiest duds not celebrate nudity and nakedness.Even the most enlightened and well-schooled females are guilty of showing off the crown jewels way before a bidder shows up on the scene.As prudish as I may sound, I am not talking about the subtle act of showing a little cleavage or wearing a figure-hugging dress but the extreme cases where a dress is clearly not long enough to cover the bum or boobs are flopping out of the top half of an outfit in a gravity struggle, it just doesn't help female dignity or integrity.Just the other day, a guy I know had the effrontery to tell me I have to show more boobs to get a man to show me some interest. What drug was he on? Or had he been drinking? Since when did a natural male-female relationship have to rely on the need to batter with nude human parts.I hate to have to resort to being a a feminist to hammer my point home but I don't see any male parts on display on a night out or dangling out of control in any event so why does it have to be female parts on display. With women trafficking on the increase specifically for the sex trade industry, women need to take a stand on maintaining their modesty, pride, dignity and value. This is certainly not helped by a woman carelessly displaying her wares in order to elicit some provocative attention from a man (if that's the reason she dressed carelessly).I have to say that this gives me serious food for thought cos I have to practice what I preach but I certainly don't know how comfortable it could ever be to have my bits falling out of my dress or the cold night air flushing me out under my skirt. Either way, it is not a pleasant thought.This is my grief for the moment, and I leave you to ponder on this.Hope you all have a lovely weekend and I'll see you on the other side of Sunday.
