How much is too much?

SO this thought began on Friday night when I was walking around Allston to go to a 90s costume party. It seems as though there are women wearing less and less for costumes...I mean come on now have a bit of respect for yourself. It really unnerves me because this whole concept of "Sexy" seems to now go hand in hand with "trashy" Maybe it is because of the way I was raised, my mom never allowed outfits like that or maybe because women are starting to make themselves believe that for this one day you can dress like a slut and it's ok. Really it's not. It's offensive to us women who have worked our butts off to keep up in this male dominated world. These women are oppressing women and all the hurdles we have overcome since being granted the right to vote. I'm sure Susan B. Anthony is rolling in her grave over these poor choices certain women are making.

What happend to creativity? I mean I have to give my friends and I credit. We thought long and hard about the costumes we wanted to make and there were costumes my friends have that were sexy but in a tasteful manner. This creativity and tasteful sexiness won my friend Leslie $100. Why can't every woman subscribe to this mantra on Halloween. It would make this world a much better place.

Women seem to be putting their sexuality on a plate and thus getting themselves into trouble with the opposite sex. Make a man like you for who you are....not because you dress like trash for Halloween. If more women believed that their minds and personalities (along with their looks) really enticed a man's attention I honestly believe women would have fewer issues when it came to men and relationships.

Am I wrong? I mean I have had countless discussions with people on this subject and there are a number of these people who completely agree....seriously how much is too much???
