Kota Bharu & Women's Dressing Issues

I read the papers recently about how women should dress in Kelantan . In the paper listed down the rules like :

For Muslims
-----------------
- dressing which covers down to ankles
- Head dress ( tudung ) must cover forehead and hair

For Non-Muslims
------------------------
- decent outfits which do not expose the navel , shows a lot of cleavage and emphasise the buttocks

They MUST NOT wear :

- body hugging outfits which show off the body
- blouses which show the navel
- see-through blouses
- mini-skirts
- tight pants

Reason ? To protect them from getting harrassed or raped by so-called highly sexual Kelantan males .

Look , I see this like as an insult and a slap on the face to the male population in Kelantan . Are they really so sensitive towards women that the minute they see their freaking ankles or legs theyre gonna pounce on them ?

In my opinion , the more you try to enforce such rules , the more rapists you'll produce . I think how women dress is not the main factor when someone commits a rape . I think it just goes down to the mental health of the rapist himself really . If he feels like raping , anything goes you know . Clothes are not the factor .

I think you're gonna make them more sensitive and easily aroused by doing that . We you make it scarce and hard to find , the more you crave for it . Like chocolates you know , today youre craving for that refrigerated Kinder Buenos or Dark Chocolate , but if you get it everyday , it becomes a norm and you couldn't give a damn anymore to even look at it . Make sense ?


Well , let's see if the number of rape cases improve in Kelantan once those rules are enforced .

  1. i've to agree with u on tht and i'm kelantanese for crying out loud! i mean really, the moment yr mind's possessed by the satan (or such act prolly resulted fr u having deprived of seeing any skin), yr mini bit'd just start wanting to hump anything tht moves. if this is really the issue, then how do u explain those poor kids that were brutally raped and killed? they got no lumps or humps for goodness's sake. ey me definitely gonna link u to my site at gergasi.com. link me back if u wanna. the gergasi one, not my blogger one. this is juju/junita btw.
