#mydressmychoice: utter nonsense.
We cannot, we will not, we will never ever come out in large numbers, we will never support a demonstration seeking a leeway to legalize nudity, a demonstration in support to indecency, a demonstration seeking to hoodwink men and boys into social immorality. I watched in pain as women and ladies of substance took to the streets, to every pavement and corners of this our small city, seeking authenticity of indecency, a roadmap towards societal moral decadence. It was a walk, a useless painful walk, a walk in the wild seeking and searching for elusive support, drawing unnecessary attention from the lazy, the old and the easily gullible in a society full of elite and goal oriented citizenry.
Miniskirts have never been, are not and will never be a modern, technological or even a digital version of beauty, so stop this creepy nonsense ladies, its time you grew up, open your eyes and see! When you walk down the lane, the streets and to the business pavements in that micro outfit, how does it feel like? What does it portray? You do not only create a feeling of lust among men and gentlemen, but also lure them to sexual immorality and disrupt attention.
It costs nothing to dress decently, it harbors no pain to look smart in that nice outfit. Whenever cases of rape are read out in the courts, reasons range far and wide, from lust to revealing outfits that drew sexual feelings, save for the rest.
In light to the stripping incidences at Kayole and Embassava, a clear message has been sent out, a worthy testimony in the public domain, that it is time we did away with indecent, revealing clothes and just like our neighbors’, Uganda, ban wearing of the miniskirts. I do not seek or even purport to support the ongoing stripping spree in Kenya, a journey started in high tempo, in fact I “condemn it” in the strongest terms possible.
Your dress ceases to be your choice when it disrupts others from their work, when it draws majority into temptation and in this context, coital warfare. This decay in the morals of a society is not only bad for the future posterity but also an impediment towards the fight on HIV/AIDS. As Kenya grapples with this menace, let it go the Uganda way, declare a total ban on miniskirts and public indecent behavior or rather have strict “Nudity and decency laws” just like in the States.
As I pen my final words, it’s my thought that all those who took part in the “silly” campaigns on #mydressmychoice are the remaining few immoral outwits that we have remaining with us in the society, it’s high time we took them to Mathare for a checkup! Hey, look at United Kingdom, the fashion city, do they do miniskirts? The answer is an outright NO, yet those ladies are beautiful, that is, if beauty was a measure of outward appearance of which I strongly disagree.
Ladies, beauty is a measure of your inward capability, character and personality. They say, when it walks like a duck, waddles like a duck, behaves like a duck, then surely it is. So when you want to make no difference between “the business associates” in K- Street and yourselves, then you cease being whom you are and become “a high tech business associate”. When we stop politicizing everything in Kenya, we shall brew decency and high moral standards. Let’s come out and rebuke, as the police do what they are good at, investigate, arrest and prosecute the strippers as we say a big NO to immorality and indecent dressing and kiss goodbye to miniskirts and this entire bullshit of #mydressmychoice. If you want to practice nudity, if you want to practice stripping then kindly do not use our roads, highways and pavements as the rehearsal grounds, you risk embarrassment!!!
