Same Sh*t, Different Century
Short story about the way women are treated4 total reviews
Comment from Oscar Lozano
I love the unique structure and prose you employed to explore the ever-changing societal expectations of women, and that you didn't pull any punches in showing how the same close-mindedness can unfortunately persevere as well. Love the photo, too. It was great competing with you.

Like, HUH? The way women are "treated?" Is the allegory here that they should be able to dress as they please and still be treated with courtesy and kindness and respect? Why, simply BRILLIANT, Mystery Contestant! I bet this will do great for you in the polls! Best of luck!

Comment from Dolly'sPoems
Women have been blamed for tempting men since Adam and Eve and no matter what women wear, say or do, they will always be blamed for the lust that men have for them, love Dolly x x x

That's right! I hate that it's still the reality, and I hope someday humans as a whole can move past those childish thoughts. When this kind of topic comes up, I'm always reminded of a passage in the Bible in Matthew when Jesus said, "And if your eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away." I like to bring it up when women are blamed for what they wear :)

Men can wear what they like and women have to modify their behaviour by wearing appropriate clothing. It is ludicrous, love Dolly x
