Ugandan minister urges miniskirt ban
The BBC is reporting that Uganda’s minister for Integrity and ethics has called for a ban on the wearing of miniskirts. This is because they are causing traffic accidents and a lowering of the moral climate in his country. He sees wearing a short skirt as the same as going naked, and considers miniskirts one of the many ills facing his country along with – you’ve guessed it – homosexuality and shreeded wheat. The minister has said that miniskirts distract many drivers who are “weak mentally”. But most observers believe that it is the minister himself who is mentally weak.
There are some conservative men who are obsessed with women wearing short skirts. They are usually sick, because, while denouncing them they secretly fantasised about where those long legs lead, ventilating thoughts like “Gor, I want to get me some o’ that” behind their copies of El Viaje orThe Sacred Heart Messenger. People will remember the Spanish judge (no doubt a loyal supporter of that Christian general Francisco Franco) who said that a rape victim had more or less asked for what had happened to her because she was wearing a miniskirt.
When I see a girl wearing a short skirt I do not believe she is telling the world that she is somehow “easy” and sexually available. If she is sending a message it is that she has good legs which she wants the world to see, and let’s face it there is so much ugliness in this world that anyone who wishes to display things that are pleasant should be rewarded. It is just as probable that short-skirted females are not sending out any messages at all, but are merely expressing their right to dress as they wish. In countries blessed with warm climates the concept of wearing long clothes when the temperature is hovering in the high thirties must be hellist.
