At the weekends? Are you sure?
You ask the question yet you seem to able to identify them...
I'm talking about the look, nothing else. Have a word with yourself, yeah?
What does a "slapper" look like then?
I know a few old women...funnily enough the conversation about wearing skimpy clothing and female objectification never came up.
It gives me confidence to talk to the people I want to talk to, which, although guys, is NOT guys who shout things at me out of cars or make comments on the street. People who actually know me and don't just see me as a sex-object.
Btw, Spliffie - most of my skirts are what you'd call tarty. It's what comes from having extremely long legs.
Also, for the record, it's not just when I'm wearing skirts that men beep me or shout at me. I've had builders shout "nice arse" at me, when I was about 14, and wearing jeans.
You know a few "old women"? What does that mean? I'm not talking about yer gran y'know. :rolleyes:
Heh thats a pretty weak comment ... when you get out of ure teens it doesn't just make you 'grown up'.. everyone has different life experience, some ppl never grow up some ppl are forced to early.
A tartish look would be something like a leather miniskirt with knee high boots, too much make up, massive hoops etc etc.
How much make up is "too much"? And when my missus goes out wearing knee high boots and a short skirt, is she dressing tarty? Is she also asking for it?
Fuck away off will ya. I talk to a few off my ma's mates who visit the house, I talk to a few of the regulars at the local aswell sometimes when I'm having a pint. I do know old women...prick.
There is a world of difference between a teenage girl and a woman in her 30's.
old women? What the fuck does that mean?
Why the hell am I justifying myself to you lot anyway. Eugh.
Check the wit. :yeees:
You should see my stand up.
Given that I understand a tart is a prostitute, yes, I'm sure.
So anyone who wears make-up and short skirts is gagging for male attention, yeah? Of course :rolleyes:
Women who aren't teenage girls. The opposite of what you were saying I only knew.
Kermit using hyperbole again...quelle surprise. I never said "gagging".
I don't think they are intending to be derogatory to women very often, really. I just think that they don't think about what they're doing.
It's not malicious, but it is wrong nonetheless. What makes it sinister is when people start trying to justify it by saying "oh, she was dressed tartily, she must have wanted it!".
The point was that you put a skirt on to impress and get attention, which is what we were saying.
I dress to impress when I go out, and sometimes I get advances from some girls I really don't fancy. I don't get upset about it though.
Why don't you just accept the compliment?
Not that I agree with this, mind.
Is there that much difference? Its still an exercise of power.
You may as well have done.
It's not hyperbolic to extend a ridiculous argument to its most ridiculous point.
I'm not the one attempting to justify shouting thingsat, and harrassing women because they dare to go out with their mates wearing a sexy little dress.
So once you're not a teenager, you're "old"?
