One Giant Step BACK for Womankind

Posted by Mandi Coleman (10.31.07, 10:21 AM)

Halloween: a time for candy, treats, and hoes? That's the way it seems anyway, looking at the costumes designed for and snatched up by women. Everything is hiked up 5 inches, platformed sky-high, and cut low enough to make even a worker at Hustler blush (maybe). This has been the norm for awhile though, and I'm used to it. I wouldn't even be writing about it if I hadn't walked into the office and witnessed some of the costumes people came to WORK in today. I understand that it's your chance to be creative, but I would rather die than have my male boss see me in all my hoochie glory.

Obviously it's not a big deal to me; that's their decision. But I would almost think that it might borderline write-up material for HR. The men aren't walking about revealing themselves thank God, but everyone knows it's more acceptable for a girl to do this, anyway. Save it for the parties tonight. Keep it halfway clean at work if at all possible. No one made you go as sexy Fairy Tale characters anyway.

I couldn't agree more, I mean why in the world would you go to work dressed like a hooker. I certainly think it puts women at a disadvantage to put yourself on display like that in front of people you want to take you seriously. You have to wonder do these women really want to be seen as intellegent capable adults or would they rather be compared to Paris, Lindsey and Britney somewhat confused girls who just can't seem to grow up?

I couldn't agree more-thats why I dressed as a Hot Dog. Not a sexy Hot Dog...Just a plain ole dog in a bun, though I will admit I did look pretty tasty!
