INDECENCY ISN'T A WOMAN'S PROBLEM—IT'S A PEOPLE PROBLEM
<p>Before anyone misunderstands me, let me say this: I'm not trying to justify indecency or make excuses for it. If something is indecent, then it's indecent. My point is simply that we shouldn't make it gender-specific.</p><p><br/></p><p>The moment the word indecency comes up, most people immediately picture women short dresses, crop tops, tight clothes, revealing outfits. But why is that where the conversation always begins and ends?</p><p><br/></p><p>Can we talk about the men too?</p><p><br/></p><p>The ones who walk around in boxers so short and tight that they look like underwear meant to stay beneath clothing. The ones who let their trousers sag so low that their underwear becomes part of their outfit. The ones who step outside shirtless, walking into public spaces as though everyone consented to seeing their bare bodies.</p><p><br/></p><p>A certain evening that I stepped out, I saw a man come out to buy something wearing only trousers. His shirt was hanging around his neck while his chest was completely exposed. I couldn't help but think, if a woman walked into that same place dressed in the female equivalent, would people react the same way?</p><p><br/></p><p>Another man in my area regularly wears extremely short, skin-tight boxers in public. If we're going to call out indecency, shouldn't that count too?</p><p><br/></p><p>This isn't about attacking men. It isn't about defending women. It's about consistency.</p><p><br/></p><p>We can't keep acting as though modesty is a responsibility only women owe society while men are free to present themselves however they please.</p><p><br/></p><p>If decency matters, then it should matter for everyone. And if indecency deserves criticism, then that criticism shouldn't depend on whether the person wearing the outfit is male or female.</p><p><br/></p><p>Standards only have value when they're applied equally.</p>
