I always thought that what the person does and who they are is more important than how they dress. Is this not true?

Is choosing one's wardrobe an action?

Why would someone choose to dress as a whore?

Why do whores dress as they do?

"Is choosing one's wardrobe an action?

Yes, but not one that is highly important.

"Why would someone choose to dress as a whore?

Teenage girls are not dressing like whores, they are dressing like their peers. The teenage dress code changes.

"Why do whores dress as they do?

To expose as much skin as possible and communicate their occupation.

As a kid in the '60s I started to grow long hair, simply because I hated hair cuts and it was becoming the fashion for guys to have longer hair. I got into an argument with my Grandfather who was of the opinion that men could only have short hair. After a lengthy 'discussion' I explained to him that historically hair length changed for both men and women and was not inherently a male of female trait. After a couple of minutes, he finally came out with the real reason he didn't like it. It made it difficult for him to tell the difference between males and females, especially at a distance. I asked him why it mattered. He didn't answer me.

I assume he didn't answer because he couldn't think of 'why' it mattered, what changes to him or his life it really made.

The way teenagers dress as teenagers does not matter. What matters is what kind of adult they become, how they treat their family, friends and others, and what contribution to their society they make.

Many adults who are responsible for teenagers, no matter the context, do not respond to what the teenagers wear because of the consequences to the teenager but because of the fear that it reflects poorly on them.

Of course some don't like it because they are simply control freaks that hate anything that runs counter to their belief system.
