agree with (most) of the above. and i'd love to debate nicely with someone about well..anything?

Anything a woman wears empowers her if she feels like it does.

My rule of thumb is that if it doesn't involve you in any way you don't get an opinion. (levels a gaze at old white men)

I agree, when I have more feminine days, I wear what makes me feel good. (This is usually a dress or a long skirt with a sweater.)

Well, everyone gets an opinion, you can't take that away from anyone (unless you silence them, however that may be) The consequences of that opinion, if thus shared, and whether or not that opinion will be adopted as right or wrong in society is what matters. And it's not always old white men, it can be condescending and conservative women (usually older) as well. Returns to corner

Oof. Fair point Loti, fair point.

(turns glare to all Baby Boomers that have destroyed everything and are grumpy conservatives.)

to be fair, I'm a young sometimes condescending and usually conservative girl and I do feel very opinionated about clothes sometimes.

Clothes are clothes. Who cares?

Honestly true that, Eris.

I might be able to debate you on that… I don't want to be argumentative though, and you do have a point. It just feels like a lot of the time there's a pressure to wear the right stuff.

If people understood that it's not any of their business what others wear and/or what makes them feel good about their bodies then there would be no issue. But everyone has to be all up in everyone else's lives.

Yeah exactly judgement is a bad thing

Which you have every right to, the same can go with the woman who dresses in that certain fashion. Many aspects of this controversy are rooted to details of appropriate time and place and personal beliefs. Overall, you have no power over anyone else's choices without the title of authority that comes with a state being (e.g. A boss, you are in the state of being over someone else because you are; you do something(s) which give you the that title/state of being.) But, it is that's person's choice on whether or not they will give that opinion value in their lives. They can either judge someone for judging them, or they can choose to dismiss it. That's seems to be where the issue arises.

Right I think it's really a matter of where you wear something and you you're with when you wear it really

That just because your popular or rich (or both) doesn't mean you can be a dick head. Being overly safe, oh, also, stairs. I don't like them. I'd rather jump down TBH.
(No idea why I don't like stairs, I just don't)

okay, on the topic of rights, I don't care if you think/ or believe that certain people don't get rights. I personally think its wrong to dictate who does and doesn't get to live, but if your religion or moral codes say something different, that's alright. But its when you try and push your beliefs onto others that it crosses a line.
Like if you're Catholic, and you believe that gay people are wrong, okay whatever. But if you're Catholic and you try to make sure gay people as a whole get no rights, you're an ass.

Yeah, I agree. I'm not Catholic but I do share views about gay people being wrong. However, I completely understand that it's also wrong to force my beliefs onto anyone else. There's a really thin line where you have to keep from letting others push their beliefs onto you without pushing your own onto others.

Yes! Thank you so much for being respectful and open minded

You're welcome. This site has a lot of things I disagree with, but so far I've been able to avoid it. My only problem is the amount of bad language. It's everywhere and it's super frustrating, does anyone else get annoyed with it?

Well, a majority of the site is teens and legal adults… It does get annoying to some people though. Not to me, I swear like I'm getting paid to do it.

Yeah, I get that. It just seems to be everywhere and I can't help wondering if some incredibly creative eight year old kid is going to get on someday and be so shocked by all of it that it'll end up killing that child's innocence. Maybe it's just me, as I grew up very sheltered.

Innocence? What's that? Hm, yeah. I also grew up pretty sheltered, but not from swearing as I grew up with red-necks.

Gotta love them red necks… I kind of had those but they were very sheltering and just liked eating meat they'd killed themselves.

Meh, sounds about right. My red necks are more of the "Let's go to football games and rodeos! And drink beer!"

I can pop in and say, I was the little girl who cried when her dad cussed and asked her mom to ask him not to.
However, he did not listen, hence where I mainly found my sparse dictionary of insults and cusses. Am I proud of it? No, and I doubt a lot of people are. I think it's just a way we feel we can express ourselves, even though some of us are writers.

Yeah, I'm not proud of my… Colorful vocabulary, but I refuse to stop because it helps me express myself, when I can not in otherways.

Yeah, that makes sense. I think it goes back to rights and stuff, freedom and speech. Unless there are little impressionable kids in the area it is kind of a rights thing and no one should be able to stop you unless it's getting to a point where the way you're using it or when you're using it is really bad.

And I can agree with that @BrennaKadavsky, because I have actually talked to a couple colorful-tongued kids on my bus. They curse collectively more than what a high schooler does! I was floored, so I brought it up, and to this day, her vocabulary is still colorful and full of cusses.
So when you say "too far" I can definitely say cases like that exist. That's mainly why I tried to stop her, because it was a school bus.

Me… I’ve gotten used to it at this point, but as someone who’s never cussed in her entire life, it makes me a bit uncomfortable at times.

I cuss a lot, probably too much . But I'd rather cuss than revert back to some worse habits I used to use when I was angry. I dont' really understand why some words are perceived as more offensive than others, but if it bothers y'all I can stop
