Useful/Interesting Topic

What I found interesting in chapter 12 was the story under culture perception, and the story of the women who moved with her husband to Iran from California and how she wore shorts and casual tops when she went out to the stores and a man grabbed her and made lewd suggestions. He thought she was a prostitute and when she called the police and told them she was attacked they just looked at her like she was crazy!!!! I find this story very interesting, its amazing to actually think that by the way one dresses will perceive her in a certain way in which is totally out of content. I think the same thing happens here in California, I like to go out to bars and clubs and there are allot of girls out there that like to wear very provocative clothing. My male friends automatically assume that just because a female dresses a certain way that she is seen as being promiscuous. In some cases that is so not the case. Its sad how females cant dress the way they want to without the possibility of being judged by men and also females. They are looked at in a very negative view. So what if someone decides to dress that way, hey its a free country and we should be able to express ourselves with out clothing and not have to worry about criticism.
