Fragments of Disjointed Thoughts

Outrage

I was perusing through the online news just now and I found this story. I don’t believe it. School uniform is sexy it seems.

This is the school uniform they say is sexy due to the white blouse underneath.

That uniform has been around for ages and only now that they must complain.

“The white blouse is too transparent for girls and it becomes a source of attraction,” National Islamic Students Association of Malaysia vice-president Munirah Bahari said in a statement.

“It becomes a distraction to men, who are drawn to it, whether or not they like looking at it”

Munirah said that “covering up” according to Islamic precepts was important to fend off social ills, including “rape, sexual harassment and even premarital sex.”

“This leads to babies born out of wedlock and, to an extent, even prostitution”

Tell me that what she is trying to say is not that we, women, are a distraction to men because we are wearing uniforms which the education department told us to wear and that wearing said blouses can lead to babies born out of wedlock and prostitution.

Things that make headlines in the news today really amuse me actually. So now girls are supposed to cover up so we don’t become prostitutes? And cover up so we don’t have babies out of wedlock? Tell me, what the logic is behind that? So wearing a blouse with a different colour or wearing layers of clothes is going to fend off rape?

It all boils down to this: cover up girls cause we are responsible for the way men behave.

Are we living in a civilised society or the dark ages?
