[wanabidii] Mini Skirts in Schools

Shall we count mini skirts a modern aspect!

How about africanization of our dress code! A few years ago,there was an approach to a Kenyan dress but wherever it went,only designers can explain as to whether their fashion failed to grasp the kenyan market,or outright refusal for "mordern / foreign" outfits!

We also need to re-evaluate ourselves on whether  modernization per se departs from our culture - Mwacha mila ni mtumwa / he who leaves culture is a slave.

But what do school girls and boys need - books or designer uniforms! From mini skirts,we shall move to micro- mini skirts!

Rose!
I agree with you but please do also consider these aspects where our
young men and women are getting more Americanized than
the American themselves. On dressing, what we see on the streets on
Nairobi is not different from what you will see in Chicago and New
York. I am not trying to imply that what is American is bad but we need to respect, maintain and uphold our identity. To be honest, the rate at which our people are imitating Western styles like talking accents,
gestures, and dressing, while thinking that ours is primitive and
inferior is alarming. I wonder why we should copy ways which do not conform to our customs or add value to our lives under the aegis of modernity and freedom which Mutula his talking about?  
We know very well that Westerners, do not copy any of our customs.
we are a society which holds our foundational values which are often pegged on our culture, morals and traditions.

Tom,

Rose is right. It has been studied and documented that rape is not
motivated by how a woman dresses. If dressing was the factor, there
would be no rape in Moslem countries where women dress from head to
toes in clothes that don't reveal their body shapes. No one would be
raping children or old ladies.

Rape is a crime of control. The rapist has some insecurities and
mental issues and rape is a way of asserting his manhood.
Rape is also used as a form of humiliation in war situations. Do you
think a soldier raping a woman in a war situation is doing it because
of the woman's dress? Not really. It's to humiliate her.

Slave masters used to rape slave women. Do you think it was because of
the dresses? I think not. It was to humiliate and subjugate the slave
woman and to assert his authority. Even slave men used to rape the
slave women. It was their only way of asserting that they were still
men.

Courage,
Oduor Maurice
