The Miniskirt March...

So there was no way I was going to let the recently held miniskirt march pass without volunteering my unsolicited 2 cents…

(follow the link if you are not up to date with my views on miniskirts)

Numero uno; all dogs are four legged animals but not all four legged animals are dogs. Granted a fair share of the prostitute population have decided to use miniskirts as their work uniform but not all women in miniskirts are prostitutes or even women of loose morals. Still on that subject I would like to advise these name calling name callers to desist from labeling all women in miniskirts as prostitutes unless they can prove beyond reasonable doubt that the person in question is in actual fact a prostitute.

Secondly, I strongly feel that the vast majority of men totally missed the objective of the march. There were men who showed up on Saturday with the sole intention of catching a glimpse of some thigh. Disappointing as that sounds it gets worse; some had the audacity to complain that the quality of mini skirt clad women that they saw did not meet their expectations. If this is not the ultimate definition of missing the point then I don’t know what is.

Third, a lot of noise was made about how there more pertinent issues are beleaguering this country that requires more attention than the desire to miniskirts and not be harassed or labelled. My advice to people who share this notion is that if they feel strongly about issues such as potholes, power cuts and health service delivery then they should organise and execute marches of their own. The organisers of this particular march, whose efforts I would like to commend, felt strongly about women being harassed in miniskirts and so they proceeded to organise a march consistent with their concerns. That said, anyone with concerns off their own can go ahead and organise their own march.

Lastly, just to make sure you don’t judge or misquote me, I am not saying mini skirt ALL DAY, EVERY DAY. I am for appropriate dress. For example, I will only excuse you for wearing a mini skirt to a funeral if you are the departed’s bitter ex-girlfriend, other than that there is absolutely no other plausible excuse.

Pardon me, my 2 cents became 4 cents…
