Girls with no clothes on!


As long as there will be girls with barely any clothes on, there will be the out pour of low self-esteem. Although the person that dresses in this certain manner will seem happy, it will always be a facade. On top of inner detachments of one's self, the peer pressure today is uncontrollable.Television shows, movies, friends, commercials, magazines, music videos, books, and advertisements collaboratively effect one's mentality, making it seem like one should emulate what they see because it is what everyone else is doing and it is what everyone else is a part of. Genelle Davis says it best when she exclaimed "No one wants to be left out of this tasteless loop." in an article called "Hoochie wear: Assessing the trend of revealing clothing for young girls". She solely blames the pressures of the world, once even including Brittney Spears, when emphasizing the pressures of the world.
There is no doubt that revealing clothes should not be worn because of the negative effects that they can bring. There is an image and a reputation that one must uphold and dressing this way is not the answer, not to mention the people that abuse women can be enticed by their skimpy dress.

Girls With No Clothes On!


In my previous blog about "Girls With No Clothes On!", I emphasized that women who wear provocative clothing have usually been affected by bad media and that because they dress the way that they do they make themselves more targetable when it comes to men that sexually abuse women, however, there are more downfalls to this way of life. It is difficult for a women to get a job when dressing provocatively. It is not likely for a boss or for an executive to offer a professional job to a woman dressing like a stripper. Unless the woman leads a double lifestyle and dresses professional in the workplace and dresses skimpy throughout her normal life it is just not likely. Even in a situation like that if the woman is seen dressing provocatively outside of the workplace by a supervisor or someone above her position there is still a significant chance that she could end up losing her job because whether she is at work or not at work she is representing the company that she works for. Misrepresenting a company is just not tolerated. In the YouTube video, "Cleavage At Work? A New Dress Code for Professional Women", Audrey Nelson emphasizes the ludicrousness of showing cleavage at work while introducing various ways to dress nice without showing to much skin.
