I’m not familiar with this writer, but unless he was intended to come off as sexist, he should find alternative ways to convey his point. I get the sloppy dressers on campus. I don’t get what you being old-fashioned has to do with your entitlement to doll out respect based on what a person wears to class. Men are mentioned briefly in the article, but the last graph defaults to women are being responsible for their clothing and therefore don’t respect themselves. It’s getting uncomfortable close to victim blaming, especially with the comment “Don’t be offended when guys are checking out your curves in these bad boys, as it’s kind of difficult not to.”

I’m not thrilled with Robert’s approach to this article. I’m sorry, but last I checked there are no colleges that dress professionally on a daily basis. I don’t apologize for wearing leggings. I choose to wear them for their comfort, NOT to get guys attention. You cannot generalize all college women as wanting to “flaunt” their figures. The last thing on my mind at 730am is not about looking clean for class. Frankly I don’t care if I look sloppy because I want to wear sweats. Bottom line: don’t generalize. Because I don’t even wear Uggs!

This is definitely geared towards girls, but who really cares, its college you are supposed to dress comfortable. Sure giving it an effort every once in a while looks good, but as long as you know how to dress professionally when you need to, I’m fine with dressing however you want.

Somehow I find it very difficult to believe you when you say you respect women.

“Don’t be offended when guys are checking out your curves in these bad boys, as it’s kind of difficult not to.”

This is sexist and an example of rape culture. Not only is it offensive to women, but also to men. Men are not incapable animals who can’t control themselves. They are more than capable of controlling where they look, what they say, and what they do. And women should not take the blame when they fail to control their behavior and act appropriately.

You should respect a woman regardless of how she dresses. And wearing leggings, ugg boots, glasses etc. is hardly a sign of having no self-respect.

A very sexist article indeed.

If dressing in yoga pants or leggings is automatically asking for guys’ attention, then you’re probably one of those guys who think women ask to be raped.

Both views are false, both are sexist, and both are disgusting. Dressing comfortably on the way to class is nothing to sneer at. If these same people walked into a job interview dressed in jeggings or something, then I’d call it a professionalism problem, but class is entirely different.

You acknowledge college is a place to express yourself, yet still judge those who do so. “Old fashioned” is not an excuse to be sexist… despite the fact that “old fashioned” ways are frequently geared toward male-dominated societal views that are sexist against women.

I don’t even get the point of this article. College is a time to express yourself….but I’m going to criticize the style of people’s leisurely dressing. It’s not like this a trend among your professors.

And yes, I must say, this is pretty sexist.
