WOMEN AND MINI SKIRTS

Recently woman wore a mini skirt and went to a taxi rank to board a traxi in Johannesburg. A taxi driver  accompanied by some others assaulted this wonman and tore her skirt. A similar incident happened in a place called Germiston. In Kwa Zulu Natal in a certain place called Umlazi women are harassed when they wear pants. Now many privately say these women should not wear mini skirts nor should they wear pants.

In another country perhaps women are expected to cover themselves and look like ninja turtles or cover themselves from head to foot. In South Africa we have many different religious beliefs and cultures and people are permitted to dress accordingt o their own values system. Is ist correct for taxi drivers of all people to dictate howm women should dress? In SA taxi trivers are generally not regarded in a good light due to their atrocious road conduct.

The question that arises should men dictate to women how they should dress? Who dictates to men how they should dress?  Should women be allowed to dress according to their own inclinations? I wonder how many neanderthal men will come out of the wood work and how many hypocrites will pontificate while they secretly watch naked women on the internet? What do you think?
