Both annoy me, but despite what has been said by some users on here (not to point any fingers), this is more common. I'm not going to act like the other one doesn't happen, but I've heard people say that this one doesn't really happen either. Both are problems and you're either considered a square or someone who has no respect for being a virgin. There are women who dress modestly that are fun and there are women that dress sexy that are virgins until their wedding nights. Yes, there are women in both groups that are like what they're called, but to shame all women who are one of the two and say they are these things is really offensive, stereotyping, and painting things with a very broad brush. I think a woman who chooses to be modest or embrace dressing sexy should be encouraged and commended for doing whatever she likes, as long as she's not doing anything harmful.

The other one gets defended more and besides stuff like crop tops and bandage dresses are in style. Besides upbclose and personal I hear people say stuff like I'll never get laid and dress a Jehovah Witness just for wearing a blosuse and jeans right in my face. Also my own parents complaining that Im not a normal dresser. Jeez man last time I checked jeans and a cute shirt look normal to me. Its not like I'm wearing a turtle neck or a long skirt. Besides wearing revealing stuff is more acceptable nowadays. I see girls that wear crop tops and short dresses that have never been accused of being a slut. Also if a woman dresses in absolute cleavage with her ass hanging out, that is objectifying no matter what her purpose is. A woman who dresses in a modest matter by choice is never a problem. And another thing, you don't have to dress extremely modest to be considered a prude or whatever by others just for dressing modestly. I only see extreme cases with provacative dressers being called sluts and people who make a big deal out of it are either provacative dressers themselves or want to see more women in revealing clothing for their dirty fantasies. People are free to wear what they want but I don't want to be seeing a woman's tits or ass hanging out.

It's becoming more socially acceptable to dress "provocitavely" while in my experience I was teased quite a bit for dressing "modestly". I was sort of an outcast in school and such because I always wear several layers of clothing and I'm not comfortable showing off much of my skin that isn't my face.

I'd also like to clarify that I don't think either is "worse"- like THaSlimJim said, they're the exact same concept. I picked this one because not very many people are aware that it can be a problem, and that wearing less and less clothing has been becoming more acceptable for many years now.
I don't know about everyone, but I can hardly recall the last time I saw a magazine that didn't have a woman in a sultry pose and little clothing on the cover.

Edit: I also occasionally see people use a woman's modest clothing choices to mock her religious choices, whether they be Christian choices or Muslim choices, Jewish, any non-abrahamic religious choices people may think of, etc. A lot of times, I see people argue that a woman covering her body with clothing is a sign of religious restraint and a symbol of oppressive religious law, particularly with Islam, which overlaps with an entirely different problem, but it can still be a problem that people overlook in my personal experiences with this issue.

People nowadays are more accepting of sexually dressed people. Most young folks around me prefer women who are outgoing and dress sexy over "modest" girls. Girls are attacked by other girls for being virgins in high school/late in life, despite the fact that, you know, a woman faces worse things than a man does when doing sex (pregnancy, and many girls fear about the initial pain). Sorry KL but this is just something you'll never get. Stop being a white knight for women's causes.

You don't get out of your bubble much, do you? I've known several guys who have been shamed for being virgins to the point where they started thinking if they do get a girlfriend that had to have sex. Trust me, you girls aren't the only ones to have things hard, your problems are just lucky enough to be more known. If a woman is raped it's taken seriously, while if a man is raped it's either "Well, a guy likes sex, no big deal," or "Get over it." Oh yeah, not being taken seriously after being violated like that (which most women have the luck of being taken seriously with that) isn't as bad as a woman being shamed as a virgin, despite the fact that guys do get shamed for that. Or how guys are called gay if they like feminine things, as opposed to girls that can like boy stuff and just be called a tomboy. Or if a guy bullies a girl, he's a monster, but if a girl bullies a guy he's told to suck it up. If a guy decides not to be a father, he's a deadbeat, but if a woman gets an abortion she's "empowered." Plus if a guy doesn't want to be with a girl because she's fat or too tall, he's a superficial asshole, but if a woman doesn't want to be with a guy because he has no facial hair or is too short, she's praised. Plus how most cases, I've experienced it, no matter how nice of a guy you are, a girl usually goes for that bad boys and says "You're really nice and you'll make some girl really happy someday, but I think we should see other people." I'm sorry, I hate to be ranting or come across as rude, but I have 0% tolerance for sexist double-standard bull crap! There are problems that you women have to go through that men don't, such as periods and giving birth, which is a pain that I can't even imagine. However, trust me, while you women have your problems, trust me, living as a guy isn't all you women think it's cracked up to be. Women can be seen showing emotions or crying while a man is taunted for actually showing he has emotions. Plus a woman can call a child cute while a man does the same and is called a pedophile. I even heard some bullcrap from someone saying that if a guy is a nanny that he's a pedophile. I'm sorry, while you women do have problems that men might not understand, being pressured about being a virgin most certainly isn't one of them. Trust me, men don't have is very easy or have a lot of the same problems you do. Heck, I was taunted for being a virgin when I was 13-years-old for goodness sake!

Also, would you rather I be a man who doesn't care about women's rights or their struggles? I think you need a HUGE reality check!

what the others said. it's worse when you're of faith because then people will call you brainwashed or oppressed or accuse you of trying to oppress women through promoting modesty and such. though I also really hate the double standards on men too.

well, this sure is one topic that's gonna strike some nerves...

I saw a question on a club that said, "Do you harass girls if they have small boobs?"
And that word disgusts me. I don't know why.
