the other day , i was just going through a b-wood forum post , where spectators criticised an aged actress sporting minis .

some defended her . from the defending party - abc stated that - a woman is free to wear what she wishes to ...

- covered ladies have the sentiments of people living in stone age

xyz mentioned an adolescent should have all the fun she can manage , no holds barred . its her freedom .

so does a woman become modern and attractive if she shows the circumference of her naked thighs and hips ?

does a teen enjoy her freedom when she observes bodily exposure ? [ funny how i should've associated freedom with voting or slavery ]

One more thing that I would like to say about is the "seeking attention" part. Even if someone dresses up in a particular way to seek attention, I don't thing there's any harm in that...Even I buy expensive clothes, beef up muscles and leave two buttons open to seek attention - never thought I was committing crime. Its but a normal and natural evolutionary instinct to seek attention/admiration of the opposite sex, or even same sex. Why is 'seeking attention' something obnoxious or something to be stopped by moral policing is something beyond me...Sexual attraction is a natural thing for both the sexes and only societies that see sex with disgust and contempt, something to be feared and avoided, try to enforce dress codes, sexually repress women and practice s**t shaming.

True to some extend, but there is a reason why certain people dress in certain way. It has a lot to do with culture, society, and religion. Would you go against everything to dress in a certain way to attract attention?

I, personally don't give any priority to either of the three...Most of the time I am at odds with culture, society and religion.

Actually I don't know how to answer your question, because it seems you have taken 'seeking attention' as a very serious thing. My point was simply that people often say "Why would you wear short dresses unless you want attention"..Well so what? Is wanting attention something bad? Its a perfectly normal thing to desire attention..There is this puritanical worldview that the purpose of clothes is to guard ones 'modesty' and 'chastity' which is a very ridiculous thing to say.

If that is not the reason why people wear clothes, then what is?
Why do you wear clothes?

OR A PAKKA 1960's ka women...!!!! which actually makes a person dull and have second thoughts about her attire...!!!

@Blue Bold- So does that mean movies and fashion shows inspire girls to wear modern clothes or exposed dress as you say. Doesn't a girl have her own sense of dress, the freedom to dress how she wants. Is it that particular that you wear those clothes only when you see celebrities sporting them? So why not everyone follow whatever the movies show us. Hero kills thousand guys with a single hand, does it not give idea to boys of today's generation to do the same. if yes, then why don't I see any of them doing that...? You're making it sound as if girls should need some sort of consultancy before they wear modern clothes, they are stereotyped to wear salwar and clad saree all their life.

@Bold Red-Man, you amaze me. So it's the friends who influence to wear modern clothes? 😆 Couldn't girls have their choice? What's wrong if they prefer some revealing clothes over some traditional ones? They might want to wear something different or they feel comfortable in those outfits. You're making it sound as if wearing modern clothes is a crime? or it's against some culture. I wouldn't agree to it, until you show me any law or book that says so.

@Bold Violet- When you can resort to people wearing modern clothes as "exposing", then why can't the same person call you "Oldyy" when you wear some traditional clothes? Clothing is one's choice, making it ones moral forte to call other people "bad", "vulgar" based on their clothing is barbaric.

Having said that I want to hear, why is modern clothing considered to "exposing"? Who are we to comment on ones clothing..?
