"But young men are finding these women attractive – and not because of their personalities or their face."
Listen
to this Commentary!
By Elizabeth McCaskill
In recent rap music videos, you see plenty of women dancing and dressing as if they are hookers. But young men are finding these women attractive – and not because of their personalities or their face. Guys like the video girls’ bodies and how they shake and move them. So now, people have the mentality that every woman should act and dress like they are in a video.
They want us ladies to wear the outfits they see on TV. Girls in the videos look good wearing their clothes, but if someone else were to wear the same outfit people would think they are skanky.
I do believe that if you have a nice shape, you should be able to show it off – but don’t go overboard. I would like to wear nicer clothes than I do, but I am afraid I will send the wrong message. I don’t want the attention from guys when they roll down their car windows and yell “Ah baby come here.” I just want to be me.
