Say Goodbye to ‘Slutwear’
From Reuters, ‘Slutwear’ Is So Last Year on New York Runways. Godfrey Deeny, senior fashion critic at Fashion Wire Daily says, “The slut is out now. She’s dead.” Commenting on the new looks for next year Deeny says, “It’s very ladylike, it’s not jump-into-bed fashion.”
Does this mean their will be a new woman’s movement that aspires to return to the pursuit of GRACE? A woman of GRACE will earn more respect any day over an easy slut. For the ladies out there looking for ‘Mr. Right’, he is looking for a woman of GRACE, ‘Mr. Right Now’, is looking for a one-night-slut.
In the book Woman Power, Dr. Laura Schlessinger tells about one morning in her hotel room she turned on TV.
The television turned on to a classic “true story” about a minister, Peter Marshall, titled A Man Called Peter, … The young woman the main character eventually marries is the only one of three students courageous enough to stand up and talk to a rowdy assembled group of teenage and early-adult couples about temperance. What she said absolutely floored me in its simplicity and beauty.
The girls in the crowd were boisterous, drinking, smoking, swearing and laughing with approval at their boyfriends’ boorish behavior toward the minister. She began by saying that she believed that the boys they were with didn’t really like their behavior, and that sonnets have never been written about women because they smoked, drank, swore, were promiscuous, boisterous, or rude. She added that this behavior also did not bring out the best in their men, which didn’t result in the best for society.
Looks like the fashion industry might have become wise to the fact that woman that dress like whores tend to act like whores, which is bad for society. However, woman of Grace can bring out the best of society. Women hold the power, but it is the way they choose to wield that power that determines their greatness.

Women can choose any fashion clothes they wanted to wear but does not reflect their personalities. And by choosing **MR RIGHT** common…..please ….there is no such thing….

Bill, I agree with almost every commentor here (as well as your article). The men of the world do have a lot to do with the way the women in their lives (friends, family, g/f, ect…) see themselves. But that can go for all inter-personal relationships. If you treat someone like a whore (and if that is the prevailing influence, ie, everyone does) it doesn’t matter what they wear, they will begin to see themselves that way. If they are strong willed enough, and have enough self confidence and courage, they will stand up to you, or just flat out drop you.
If you treat someone with respect, and treat them as if they were REALLY SOMEBODY to you, they will tend to let that influence them as well, they will begin to hold their head higher, and you will see their courage, and self confidence levels rise. Now, as to the clothing, if a woman wears “slut-wear” or dresses in a revealing and promiscuous manner, that is how most people will treat her, but if she dresses (and therefore presents herself) as someone with a good amount of self worth, and pride, people will treat her that way too.
You cannot simply look at someone, and say (if they are dressed “trashy”) say they are un-intelligent and a slut, but typically, that person has been “conditioned” to think that dressing that way is the only way to get attention.
Sorry, for the long post, but while I believe that the female body is a wonderful creation on God’s earth, I feel that only that woman’s husband (and her Doctor) should see her naked. I would much rather see her in a nice business suit, or an elegant evening gown, or even in jeans and a t-shirt. How she presents herself on the outside can in a small way, tell me how she thinks of herself, and how much SHE feels she is worth.

American Patriot, I think you got it. Like I said in my audio post sluts can be fun to look at, but who would want to bring one home to mama, or make her the mother of your child. Women hold the power as to how the majority of the world perceives them. I have to agree with you, “The female body is a wonderful creation on God’s earth!”
Anonymous, you are right women can choose what they want to wear, but they cannot choose how other people perceive them for what they wear. You are wrong, what you wear does reflect to other people your personality. There is a Mr. Right, just make sure you are Mrs. Right when you find him.

I have your Mr. Right right here, problem is I am married. However, with the way my marriage has been going for the last couple of years who knows how long it will last. I have been trying to keep it together, but it is hard to keep a one sided relationship together. Thanks for stopping by. If I get a single friend soon that needs Mrs. Right, I will send him your way.
