Bloody Mary put on some bloody clothes Women experience discrimination based on their clothing1/22/2019 With Halloween and costume parties all around us, I’d like to say one thing to the young women who choose to wear low cut shirts and short skirts, be safe sweetie and I love you! Often times, when Halloween approaches many women are harassed due to the more revealing nature in their choice of costumes. There are more demeaning words that women are called but the point is, women are often discriminated for what they wear. For many, getting cat called while walking down the street on Halloween is to be expected, but that doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be or that we should normalize this behavior. Halloween is supposed to be a fun time for everyone, to dress up and just be a little weird. The fun is immediately ruined for women, because if they post a picture of their costume and immediately your comments will be flooded with name calling and people asking “is that appropriate?” Women should be allowed to wear whatever they please without worrying about what people may say about their bodies. Women tend to face more discrimination then men on their looks. In some settings women are required to wear makeup to appear more professional, wear pants despite increasing warm temperatures that would make shorts the more comfortable option, and wear heels whether or not that is the logical choice for their workplace environment. Women, men, and everyone outside and inbetween should be allowed to dress as they wish in whatever makes them feel comfortable. However, there are limits. Don’t go around naked and in a professional setting wear clothes that reflect that. What needs to change is how we view women’s bodies and later discriminate against them. Remember, Halloween is a day where people are meant to defy social customs and dress as something radical, so let them. Stop making comments on other people’s bodies and enjoy the freedom to express yourself through fashion. Happy Halloween!
