Is it right to judge a woman by her choice of clothing?

[MKR&*42]

How is it unfair? It's human nature to judge people and a lot of the time our judgements actually serve us well... Well mine do anyway. Don't know about you but if I seen a gang of hooded black youths with gold teeth etc I'd probably avoid them in fear of getting attacked. You can tell a lot about a person by their choice of clothes.

I meant I don't think the system itself is that fair. I understand its necessity sometimes but when people hold false beliefs about a person based on their clothing which actually doesn't relate to their personality at all, then it is problematic .

I see what you're saying I guess, however, surely a persons clothing sort of represents their personality? TO AN EXTENT!

To an extent yes I would agree, like the example you used earlier. When people don't form an entire judgement of that person based on clothes its not as ridiculous.

Thing is I wouldn't mix with certain types of people if I don't like the look of them, does that make me ridiculous?

I don't think being cautious of someone who dresses in a certain manner is bad, but I believe people should be open to seeing that person could have another side to them (more than meets the eye etc).

If you don't judge people what are you gonna do all day?

In all seriousness though there is a huge difference between passing judgement and acting negatively upon that judgement. I can see someone wearing a trenchcoat and dark glasses and think they're a complete nonce but as long as I don't try to murder him because I'm just a simulacrum of humanity rendered by the Matrix and he looks like The One then it's not a problem
I mean what

Took the words right out of my mouth.

There's nothing wrong with judging people - it only becomes potentially wrong if you become rude because of it.

[Absently]

I don't think it's right to judge people on their choice of clothing, but it doesn't stop anything whatsoever. In my head, I'll always just automatically judge somebody on what they're wearing. Sometimes it'll simply be for safety e.g. if there's a lot of scummy looking lads/girls and I'm on my own I'll quickly cross the road to avoid contact. Obviously in that way it's wrong, 'cos they might just be having a day and thrown something on With the whole girls thing revealing clothes, just because you judge them doesn't mean you have the right to rape them or make touchy advances towards them. It also depends on the situation, when going out most girls wear very revealing clothing and it's just sort of acceptable, doesn't mean anyone has the right to rape them...

People will always be judged on what they wear.

This.

From my experience I've always dressed as a bit of a chav.. I just feel comfortable in trackie bottoms, a t-shirt and trainers. When I started at University almost everyone judged me by the way I looked.. no-one really talked to me. I wasn't going to change who I was for them though! Unsurprisingly they all got to know me and I got a long really well with most people.

People would always (and still do) give me dirty looks - like I was thick and lived in a council house with my 9 brothers and sisters or something. I still dress how I want now - at work I'm smart and outside of work (because I live on a farm) I dress like a tramp and when people see you out say shopping they think you're a right mong.. yet they wouldn't have thought that earlier when I was in shirt and trousers.

I judge people too. I think we all do from time to time. I do try not to though - usually the people who dress differently end up the nicest people around.

it isn't right but it will always happen, i judge people by how they dress sometimes

non-uniform day was perfect to judge people:rolleyes:
