CJ, you must have one of those extendable canes that elongates when you need to put it into action.

It's ironic because it was probably the proliferation of boosums that sent you blind in the first place.

The Sheik doesnt want change lest it threaten traditional. The traditions of the men have always dominated the women.
Women must do what men want.
Its all powerplay through fear and the fear is in the men in not offending the allah being. Plus they want their own way (sexual power).
Its all spirit manipulation of men and women. And the spirits are not good ones.
God is love and does not support manipulation of women by men. In fact any manipulation is witchcraft.
The Word says that "there is neither male nor female in Christ Jesus"...Galatians 3:28. The men are to love and care for the women and treat them as equals.
My concern is that modern trendy dress doesnt attract the bad boys that seem to all over the place these days. Back to that foul porn again.
Mohammed on one occasion I believe had a woman drawn and quartered for an offence. The original foundations of Islam arent pleasant. We dont want sharia law here.

At the risk of attracting stinging witticism of the cane and boosum variety, which I must admit is very amusing, I’m going to be a wet blanket here I’m sorry and weigh in with some somewhat more ponderous comment!

I'm not concerned so much with the safety risk of women dressing vampishly, though I'm sure it exists. My concern is the way this trend tends to demean females as a whole, and, yes, I hear you groan, I know I have mentioned this once or twice before!

The more we have young girls, older women and every female in between vamping themselves up to highlight their sexual allure, the more we are all as women trapped by the pressure to conform to this role of having to look sexually appealing in order to please men. I firmly believe that we will never be on an equal footing with men while we remain chained to this subservient role.

I have no problem with women aiming to dress smartly or attractively or dressing lightly in hot weather and comfortably when exercising, but I do find it depressing that so many women seem to see the need to scream out their sexuality in such an obvious and ingratiating manner. The end result is that all women, no matter how hard they might fight it, tend to be reduced to the role of sexual object. I long for the day when we can all get out there and be judged purely for what we say and do, irrespective of how sexy or otherwise we might look. That’s the day we’ll be truly liberated.

So, while I’m not coming to this issue from the same perspective as you are, Gibo, yes, I do share your concern.

Yes I think woman should cover up more, and by that I do not mean they should have to cover up including their head. But certainly flashing large amounts of cleavage, flashing mid-drifts and flashing leg with butt in view is really not something that we would want to encourage our daughters to do so therefore one would have to accept that it isn't in females best interest.

And you think this is exclusive to women because? Let me tell you something. It's NOT. Men have equal 'physical' pressures in this society. Whether they are short, fat or too thin, the same issues exist and the same sexualisation in advertising and culture exists. Women in government really have to simply drop the mentality that women have exclusively these problems. They do not. Not by a long shot.

Some humans act like animals but you are not forced to look.
