RE: REVIVING DECENCY: BOMA’s TRIUMPH IN A CHANGING WORLD
I'm not sure I agree with you here.... Traditional or conventional clothing protects against sexual harassment? Hard to imagine - then such incidents would be a phenomenon of the new, modern times. Presumably, however, it has always happened, and completely independent of the victims' style of dress...
On the other hand, I would not want to judge only on the basis of outward appearances whether there is a very decent person in a revealing outfit...
Nevertheless, I find the idea of the folklore day exciting: certainly a very beautiful and varied sight!
Your points are valid especially the second one because there are a lot of people who do crazy shit here but they cover themselves from head to toe..
But for the first one, you will agree with me that there are guys who lust over ladies whenever they see a lady reveal her body. Their intention is just to sleep with d lady just to satisfy their urge… so they come in a friendly way. But the more d lady resist them, the more his desires and desperation grows!!
Once they become obsessed with the lady, it might lead to them doing some sort of stuff they may later regret. In some situations, you see the lecturers intentionally failing the female students just to victimize her.
In most schools in Nigeria, there are now putting dress codes for students before they even allow them enter into the school premises. If you dress indecently , from the school gate, they won’t allow you enter.
I think you are mixing up several issues. One is an individual and possibly unconventional style of dress, from which you infer a higher risk of assault. However, these assaults are committed by people who are solely responsible for them. Their reasons may be understandable, but such behaviour is not punishable and outlawed for nothing. It has nothing at all to do with the appearance of the victim, but lies entirely with the perpetrator.
Another is the school uniform or dress code. They only seem to lead to more equality. My children went to private schools and that's how I know for sure: then it's the better materials, the better mobile phones, the more expensive trips, the real jewellery and the better cars that manifest status differences.
And then there is the matter of decency. A completely different thing, because it can't be grasped either with clothes or with equalisation. For me, decency is the inner attitude of a person that corresponds to high and self-chosen values.
I love your explanation here. It hit the spot.
