I'd like to ask these questions to those women who say that they have the right to dress the way they like:
I'm conducting an important job interview and you are an applicant. If you walked into the office and found me clad only in boxer shorts and nothing else, what would you do? Would you greet me, sit down and act like everything's normal? Would you have any regard for me? Would you consider me sane? Would you even respond to my questions? Won't you even run out of the office as fast as your legs can carry you?
After answering those questions frankly, you'll find that no one has a right to do whatever he/she likes otherwise there'd be no laws and murder wouldn't be a crime. Men are considered to be given a clear advantage over woman by the society and women are struggling to gain a foothold, but despite all our power and influence, we have always dressed the way we ought to (sane men of course). Suits are for the office, overalls are for the workshop/site, shorts are for the tennis court/football pitch, etc. etc. We could choose to wear our underwear to the office and no one would stop us, but we don't. Because with all our power, we have chosen to work within the limits of the society's stipulations. It takes a lot of maturity to do that. Doing otherwise is acting like a teenager who's on an unnecessary mission to prove his/her independence to his/her parent(s).
Tearing and looking into societal and general issues, with special emphasis on the continent of Africa. Challenging you to think deeper than usual and see things in lights of different colors. Straight, blunt talk!
