Dear Editor,
I often wonder what goes through a man’s mind when he’s walking hand in hand with a woman who’s half naked in public. Does he feel proud, embarrassed, or simply indifferent? These days, modesty seems to have vanished from our society.
Women stroll through the streets, supermarkets, and even churchyards wearing outfits that leave little to the imagination, and the men beside them appear unbothered.
Once upon a time, a woman’s dignity was reflected in how she carried herself. Our mothers and grandmothers dressed with pride and class. Now, it seems the more skin shown, the more confident some women feel, as if self-worth depends on how much attention they can attract.
But let’s ask the real question: gentlemen, how does it feel to have everyone staring, not at you, but at the woman on your arm? Is that the kind of attention you want? And ladies, do we really need to reveal so much to feel beautiful or valued?
There’s a time and place for everything, and the streets, malls, and airports are not runways or beaches. It’s time we reclaim a sense of self-respect and pride in how we present ourselves, especially in public spaces.

Comment: Why should this be an issue to you? They are walking with them so it’s quite obvious that’s what they want.
Man walking hand in hand with other man all you not saying nothing
Stop watch people woman is all we living in a different time
Just make sure your partner put on clothes and stop mind the ppl business, or if you’re a woman make sure you have clothes on and have your dignity
Always ah focus on ppl business
D Vaughn I’m sorry if she is attractive other men are gonna look at her regardless….I think a woman should be able to dress to suit the occasion….If it’s a day time fete with a beach setting like SOBO or I Rep etc yeah she will be showing off the goodies….If it’s a more formal or semi formal occasion she should know hot to dress for that…..On a man’s behalf he should know what he looking for..If his woman wanna be half naked everywhere they go and it don’t bother him well that’s him…If not then u communicate about it and if she not trying to hear u then u move on if she is not ur type……A good woman should not be defined from her dressing alone but if all u keep advertising is naked body u will get the attention u want or don’t want…..
A sign of the moral degradation of society. People don’t consider their bodies sacred any more. My respect to those women who value modesty. You may not realize it but it does get noticed and it says far more about you than you can express with your mouth
Preach @Chuptz, Preach … 👏🏾
I wear what makes MY heart happy once it is legal. Not what makes YOUR eyes happy.
This is so funny because why is the first assumption always that a woman is dressing a certain way for attention? What someone chooses to wear should not be anyone else’s concern. Instead of policing women’s clothing, maybe we should be teaching men to mind their own business, respect boundaries, and exercise some self-control. Yet somehow, that conversation barely ever happens.
Society constantly frames women as “responsible” for other people’s thoughts or behavior. It’s as if the moment a woman wears something revealing, it becomes her job to prevent someone else’s poor choices. Meanwhile, men rarely get told, “Control yourself. Stop objectifying people.” Imagine how different things would be if that were the starting point of the conversation.
And if a man meets a woman and is attracted to her because of how she dresses, then he should be perfectly fine with her continuing to dress that way once they’re together. Most women wear what makes them feel confident and comfortable, and that should be enough. Attraction shouldn’t come with a hidden contract for wardrobe approval.
At the end of the day, it’s about respect. Women aren’t “asking for anything” by wearing what they like. They’re living their lives. And maybe, just maybe, instead of scrutinizing her every outfit, some people should check their own attitudes first.
