They make intimate relationships with multiple people. I would definitely control what my children wear up to a certain extent. They can create their own style to express what they like to wear, but I wouldn't let them wear anything too revealing. My reasoning wouldn't be because they're going to look like a "slut" but because many may find it repulsive and I wouldn't want perverts to pay that sort of attention to my child. Men DO tend to pay attention to women's cleavage and behinds a lot, but I'm sure that's not the only thing they think about all the time. Even at school, the males tend to talk about what they think about girl's bodies.
\nI don't neccessarily agree with the police officers statement, but I think when a girl chooses to dress a certain way, she should be aware of the type of attention she's going to receive. Women are labeled as sluts when they dress a certain way because if you are revealing, it's like you want people to notice cerain parts of your body first.","replyPages":[{"page":0,"digests":[],"more":0}]},{"id":"38339684","dateCreated":"1304106374","smartDate":"Apr 29, 2011","userCreated":{"username":"tikoon","url":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/view\/tikoon","imageUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/i\/user_none_lg.jpg"},"monitored":false,"locked":false,"links":{"self":"https:\/\/iolaniwomenlit.wikispaces.com\/share\/view\/38339684"},"dateDigested":1532140591,"startDate":null,"sharedType":"discussion","title":"Slut Walk","description":"I feel that women should be able to dress however they want to dress. IN my eyes, the clothes that you choose to wear should make yo feel comfortable and happy and that is all that matters. If other people have a problem on how the way girls or guys dress, well then that is their problem. When women dress in appealing outfits, it is not an excuse for men to act stupid and the must be held responsible for their actions. I do not exactly know what the qualifications are to being labeled as a slut, but I think that based on how a girl dresses should not determine whether they are a slut or not. I feel that now days there are a lot more reasons for girls to call other girls a slut and that girls should focus more on themselves instead of other girls.","replyPages":[{"page":0,"digests":[{"id":"38341296","body":"Interesting last statement!","dateCreated":"1304108771","smartDate":"Apr 29, 2011","userCreated":{"username":"MsFalk","url":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/view\/MsFalk","imageUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/pic\/1250807416\/MsFalk-lg.jpg"}}],"more":0}]},{"id":"38338206","dateCreated":"1304103959","smartDate":"Apr 29, 2011","userCreated":{"username":"mischwin","url":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/view\/mischwin","imageUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/i\/user_none_lg.jpg"},"monitored":false,"locked":false,"links":{"self":"https:\/\/iolaniwomenlit.wikispaces.com\/share\/view\/38338206"},"dateDigested":1532140591,"startDate":null,"sharedType":"discussion","title":"Slut Walk","description":"I loved this article especially because a man wrote it. I completely agree with his point of view and opinion on the way women dress and how they present themselves. I think it is unfair that if women want to express their sexuality and dress as they want (even if it is revealing) they are considered sluts. I personally would rather dress the way I want, express my sexuality and be called a slut than to hide it all and be considered "normal" or more respected. I really agree with the article when it said, "As feminists often point out, the real \u201cman-haters\u201d are those who promote modest dress for women out of the belief that men lack self-control." Men often say that when women dress slutty, they are asking for trouble, but really there are two sides to that. Women can be putting themselves out there more and attracting more men, but i'm sure they are not "asking" for trouble. Trouble happens when men can't control themselves. I'm not saying women should go topless in the street because there definitely should be some boundaries, but women should get to dress how they like and have that freedom to express themselves.","replyPages":[{"page":0,"digests":[],"more":0}]},{"id":"38337728","dateCreated":"1304103183","smartDate":"Apr 29, 2011","userCreated":{"username":"kisouza","url":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/view\/kisouza","imageUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/i\/user_none_lg.jpg"},"monitored":false,"locked":false,"links":{"self":"https:\/\/iolaniwomenlit.wikispaces.com\/share\/view\/38337728"},"dateDigested":1532140591,"startDate":null,"sharedType":"discussion","title":"Slut Walk","description":"I thought this article was interesting because it was the view of "sluts" from a man's point of view.

I was happy to read that Hugo was proud to state that he is a feminist. Since I first heard the word \u201cfeminist\u201d I would always think of a woman. Now that I am reading the beliefs of a feminist male, I realize that the feminist belief is open to both genders. I do believe that women should have the right to wear what they want in public without the fear of harassment of harm, but people are constantly judging the things around them. First impressions are very important when meeting a person. People say \u201cdon\u2019t judge a book by its cover,\u201d but everyone has first impressions of new people. A person only has one chance to make a first impression and that impression can impact their decision to associate with other people. This first impression is usually based off of their visual appearance and body language. For me, I relate fashion to speech because both of these methods display our individual personality. We have the freedom of speech, which means people have the right to express our opinions and beliefs but isn\u2019t that what fashion displays? The only difference is you can\u2019t see words, but people will continue to judge you for the statements you make. This article also shed some light about the male side of sluts. This article shows that the reason for dressing like a \u201cslut\u201d comes from a weakness of a male. It is definitely an insult to males the idea that dressing a certain way will make a man incontrollable of themselves. This is a very difficult to address but I do not think that women should be harassed for the way they dress because everyone is unique and therefore a any woman who dresses in a certain way could potentially make a man lose control of himself. This is a statement that is easily reversed, but for men, the names associated with dressing a certain way praise the male, unlike the woman.","replyPages":[{"page":0,"digests":[],"more":0}]},{"id":"38309576","dateCreated":"1304066450","smartDate":"Apr 29, 2011","userCreated":{"username":"kekimura","url":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/view\/kekimura","imageUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/i\/user_none_lg.jpg"},"monitored":false,"locked":false,"links":{"self":"https:\/\/iolaniwomenlit.wikispaces.com\/share\/view\/38309576"},"dateDigested":1532140591,"startDate":null,"sharedType":"discussion","title":"slut walk","description":"This article was really interesting to me because it shows how society makes assumptions about girls being sluts because of the way they dress. I also do not agree with the myth that men cannot control themselves because I don't believe that it applies to all men. I also agree with the writer that men do not rape and harass because of biological imperative. Just because women dress revealingly, doesn't mean that they are tempted to do something immoral. I think that the meaning of "slut" that most people tend to believe is a female (or male) that is loose about her\/his sexuality and is willing to fulfill her\/his sexual desires, no strings attached. I think I would restrict the way my children dress depending on her age and maturity. I think that some girls dress a certain way because they want a certain reaction from the opposite sex, as well as the same sex. They want people to look at them and notice them. I think that there are some clothing that is okay to wear and then there are other clothing that I feel is inappropriate. I think that sometimes men claim that they have no control over themselves because they don't have a better answer to explain why they do what they do. Or they're embarrassed to honestly say why. But I do believe that no self control is a weakness.","replyPages":[{"page":0,"digests":[],"more":0}]},{"id":"38309502","dateCreated":"1304066002","smartDate":"Apr 29, 2011","userCreated":{"username":"akhatana","url":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/view\/akhatana","imageUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/i\/user_none_lg.jpg"},"monitored":false,"locked":false,"links":{"self":"https:\/\/iolaniwomenlit.wikispaces.com\/share\/view\/38309502"},"dateDigested":1532140592,"startDate":null,"sharedType":"discussion","title":"Slutss","description":"I think being a slut is mostly a mindset: girls can dress in overly revealing ways, but will not always act how they seem. (For example, a girl can always wear too tight\/too short clothing, but she might actually be going steady with one guy for years and be abstinent.) Despite this, I would personally assume that clothes express women, and if someone dresses in a skanky manner, than I would be prone to assume that they also act in such a way. Additionally, it is a strong belief that most men enjoy when women dress in such a revealing manner and act carefree sexually, so most women probably become sluts for the want of attention and because of their raging hormones.
\n
\nI would definitely restrict the way my children dress, as I would probably prefer my children to dress in a slightly sophisticated and classy manner\u2014not just so that people will respect them, but also so that they respect themselves. However, I would want them to be able to express themselves through what they wear, so I probably would just let them wear anything they wanted (as long as it wasn\u2019t too revealing or sloppy looking.)
\n
\n In my view, men claim that they have no control over themselves because it is unfortunately often socially accepted. Thus, when men state this, the woman is the one who is usually blamed for or loses the base for their anger, as men claim that it is not the man\u2019s fault and \u201cbiology made me this way.\u201d","replyPages":[{"page":0,"digests":[],"more":0}]},{"id":"38309010","dateCreated":"1304062625","smartDate":"Apr 29, 2011","userCreated":{"username":"KFhulagirl","url":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/view\/KFhulagirl","imageUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/i\/user_none_lg.jpg"},"monitored":false,"locked":false,"links":{"self":"https:\/\/iolaniwomenlit.wikispaces.com\/share\/view\/38309010"},"dateDigested":1532140592,"startDate":null,"sharedType":"discussion","title":"Slut Walk","description":"The term "slut" has many different meanings today. It may imply that a woman is dressing in slutty clothes or that a woman is sleeping around and has a bad reputation. Sometimes girls bring this on when they wear really short shorts or tops that show a lot of cleavage. I think it's a little unfair that women can be called sluts and men can't be called this. There is no equivalent for males. If a guy is sleeping around, his friends say, "Yea man!" If a girl sleeps around she is seen as loose. I agree with most of the statements in this except for one. It's ironic because I think that women should have the freedom to dress as they please and not be subject to such harsh stereotypes. But, if you were to ask me, "Would you let your daughter walk out of the house dressed in provocative clothing?" I would say no. I wouldn't want my daughter to be labeled as a "slut" because it is so derogatory.
