Re: What is with all the girls, Part 3
That's because there isn't much for guys to reveal.
why not? guys can showcase the well developed pecs, shoulders and arms if they want, what about a six pack?
Plus with our religious definitions of revealing, technically, guys reveal way more than they need to - what with shorts above their knees and walking around topless all the time.
the place where you would find guys runnign around sans shirts, u would find girls in gstrings and bikini tops too, or shorts and atheletic tops.
but lets look at other situations as well..
desi weddings for example
guys are in what, suits, or kurta shalwars,
I have not seen a single desi guy in a half sleeve kurta yet, let alone a plunging neckline sleeve less kurta with a spaghetti strap around neck..
nor do we see guys with see thru sleeves or midrif (or more aptly toond) baring tops.
These things are way more socially acceptable than plunging cleavage (as illustrated by SouthWest Airline recently), and they're no more acceptable in our mazhab.
depends on what context, if youi are speaking in a western context than shorts are acceptable for girls as much as they are acceptable for guys.
and in a desi sense if you have a concern with guys baring 4-5 inches of flesh of knee andabove, then it is more than outweighed by the arms, on display by the ladies. or for that matter the tight clothes.
Or does Islam only come into play when it comes to the female anatomy?
nope, look at it in a desi context with islam as a factor
or in a non desi context without islam as a factor
women wear more revealing clothes then men in general.
PS: ..and I like it that way :D
