Would you wear a dress nowadays?

Annieca · 27/02/12 - 01:53

The world seems so aggressive now, when i dress i have to be careful, as afraid now to be alone in a railway platform.

TheMask · 27/02/12 - 01:55

Pink isn't my colour. I do have the legs for a LBD though!

But why wouldn't girls wear dresses? I've seen plenty enough of them on nights out or during the summer. Why would they not?

[Deleted User] · 27/02/12 - 01:59

It doesn't matter if they wear a skirt or not, my fanny magnet doesn't even notice.

[Deleted User] · 27/02/12 - 02:01

I don't think the world is quite ready for that yet.

2-Pot Screamer · 27/02/12 - 02:02

I haven't worn one since the King's Cross incident.

Sounds Intriguing! Enlighten us!

Look, if some div is after getting his rocks off with you, he will do regardless of whatever you are dressed in. The way you are dressed doesn't always factor.

Are railway workers know for being some sort of dress fetishists? Maybe they can't help themselves in the presence of a designer label dress...?

Voynich · 27/02/12 - 02:07

No I wouldn't. My legs are awful.

Hahaha not bad for a pun!

Seriously though, this must be some strange feminine thing which I'm clearly oblivious to as I really have no idea why dresses and train stations are an isssue....

[Deleted User] · 27/02/12 - 02:13

Yes, almost exclusively. Definitely on every night out. I'm no more scared in dresses and skirts than I am in jeans, except on windy days or if I'm getting the underground, but all I'm scared of then is accidentally flashing the general public.

Bad times.

Charnham · 27/02/12 - 02:14

no I wouldn't, but I would like to know what has suddenly changed about wearing dresses and train stations.

I just think they used the station platform as an example.

As for not wearing a dress Ive not a clue..insecure maybe

Weird. I've never known a girl have this particular issue before. Some didnt do dresses but thats because they preferred trousers...

[Deleted User] · 27/02/12 - 02:21

I only tend to wear one on Thurs evenings, when the wife is out.

Annieca do you seriously think the world is more dangerous now? More dangerous than, say, medieval times?
Have you considered that there is more media and coverage now? A couple of hundred years ago you wouldn't have known if there was a serial rapist a couple of villages away.

And what makes you think all sexual predators hang about railway stations?
Ah, trainspotters! Now I get the link!

I have a suspicion that if someone is going to attack someone else, how they dress is probably a minor variable in the calculation to do so.

Annieca · 27/02/12 - 02:36

People have a right to travel and dress as they like, and should feel protected, not vunerable to attack.

Gosh, quite a revolutionary approach you have there! :eek:

irishguy · 27/02/12 - 02:41

I'd suggest that you feeling threatened in a dress has more to do with you than with any actual real danger... sounds like you've got some issues.

Still not sure about how trains factor into it

Jimmy_McNulty · 27/02/12 - 02:47

I'm always wearing dresses.

Hey there!
