Girls: Wear More Fucking Clothes!

Maybe it was just how I was raised, but a lot of girls these days aren't wearing enough clothes. Don't get me wrong I like mini-skirts and all, but some girls are just going too far. I'm not saying women should wear burkas, but just have some respect for yourself and others.

I remember when I was in the 7th grade we had to wear a P.E. uniform. They gave us these little shorts that everybody hated, even the girls. But, when summer rolled around that year all the girls started wearing really short shorts, even shorter than the gym shorts. That's when the baggy clothes phase started for boys and the short shorts phase started for girls. Now things have just gone too far.

All generations have tested boundaries of decorum. From bikinis, mini-skirts, tube tops, sagging pants, and the like. There's really nothing wrong with that, but there is a time and place for everything. It became OK to wear bathing suits on the beach. That was fine, but now it seems that anything goes. Every time I go to a bar or a club I see girls wearing ultra-low tops and ultra-high skirts. I see thongs sticking out, I see asses hanging out of shorts, I see shorts rolled down 2 and 3 times, I see all sorts of things.

Not only are girls dressing more revealing, but now they're acting like strippers. Now I like strippers, but I like going to a strip club to meet them. Now all I have to do is go to a night club and I can see girls dancing around poles, girls making out with each other, and lap dances. Then the next day I can go to a website and see all the pictures. And don't get me started on "Girls Gone Wild."

Then there are parties organized by the clubs. A big thing now is "Pimps & Hos" parties. That's where men dress as pimps and the women dress as whores. Next they’ll have parties where the white people dress as slave owners and the black people dress as slaves. Or where Germans will dress as Nazis and Jews will dress as concentration camp inmates.

Now it seems that some girls are using any excuse to dress slutty; Halloween, when it’s unseasonably warm, when they go to the club, when they go to the beach, and soon it will be Mother’s Day, Tuesdays when it rains, and Jesus’ Birthday.

I know there are women out there that agree with me. I was actually talking to a stripper once who was going off about how much she hated Joe Francis (founder of Girls Gone Wild). I don’t believe we should outlaw this type of behavior, but we should have the decency to self-regulate ourselves in public. To be honest it is the mothers that are encouraging this behavior. They’re the ones that are buying their daughters these clothes, letting them wear makeup at a young age, buying them sexy Halloween costumes, and the like. I believe in a way these mothers want to live vicariously through their daughters in much the same way men live vicariously through their sons by encouraging them to play sports.

Now this isn’t really all the girls’ fault. Men are the ones that promote, profit, cheer, and encourage this behavior too. Every time we take a picture of a girl doing something crazy, every time we yell out “Show us your tities,” ever time we buy a copy of “Girls Gone Wild,” every time we sponsor a “Pimps & Hos” party, and every time a bouncer gives preference to the girls waiting in line that look and dress the sexiest. We also get off on having our girlfriends dress like that because it makes us feel macho.

I’m not calling for laws or regulations; I’m just saying that individuals need self-restraint, both men and women. Individual rights are the most important thing guaranteed to us by God, or whatever you want to believe, but we have a responsibility to decency and self-respect. And remember with the Internet and mass media these days pictures don’t go away. And as a programmer I can tell you it will be possibly one day very soon to be able to upload a picture of someone and search through all the images on the Internet and have it return pictures of that person. Las Vegas casinos use this technology in face-recognition software.

Those pictures of you chugging beer, or wearing a bikini, or walking around without your clothes on, or whatever could come back to haunt you.

So for your own good girls, wear more fucking clothes!
