We all do it. We see a girl walking down the street in shorts and a crop top and automatically try and figure out her life. We can't. So we label her as a "whore" or a "slut" and carry on.
Well, it needs to stop.
Just because a girl is showing a little bit of skin does not give you the right to label her and think that you know about her life.
Maybe it's hot out or maybe she is confident in her own skin. That should not be a crime.
Rape culture plays such a big part in this. Stop asking them "Well what were you wearing?" as if wearing a certain shirt justifies rape. Just because a girl is showing a little bit of skin does not mean she is asking for it. She is not asking to be violated. She is not asking to be judged. She is asking to be accepted.
This goes for guys as well. What they wear somehow determines their sexuality to strangers.
Just because a guy likes to look nice and not wear all black everyday, does not automatically mean that he is gay. it could mean something as simple as he wants to look nice.
I do not know how many times I have heard from parents that a girl is a slut just because her stomach shows a little.
Parents; stop feeding into this culture and set an example for your kids. If your daughter wants to wear a "scandalous" shirt every now and then, do not slut shame her because then that makes it okay for others to slut shame her. If your son wants to look nice and try a new store, do not question his sexuality because then others will think that they have the right to do so.
Judging others simply based off of what you see them wear is absolutely absurd and this constant ridicule from society needs to stop.
