So I know there is still some time for Halloween to roll around. However I do know some people that have already started making plans and finding costumes for the upcoming 'holiday.' In one of my classes today a 21 year old women said that she had gotten her costume and was going to be a 'playboy' bunny this year.

This made me wonder- why is it ok (expected/excepted) for women and even sometimes men to dress more seductivly on this day, but if they were to dress the same way on a day other then Oct 31st they are then considered to be a sl*t etc.

I found a website that said that 55% of women say that Halloween is an excuse to dress more seductivly and 39% have said that they have worn a seductive costume on this day. ( poll was taken in 2007 kinda old although I expect the number to be higher this year.) So my question is- Do you people of NB believe that it is ok for women/men to wear a 'naughty' costume for Halloween(meaning do you like it, find nothing wrong with it?) Why or why not?

My opinion:
For me I would have to say I have worn a more seductive costume. Nothing beyond a short skirt and a small amount of cleva*ge though (which is usually covered by a jacket due to cold weather anyway). I believe that if the women is 18 and older she should be able to wear a more 'naughty' costume, however, any younger and I think it is a bad influence (if you get my drift).

Even though I say this I dont think its ok for a women to let it all hang out... you have to leave some to the imagination/ not everyone wants to see what yo mamma gave ya.

Don't question the awesomeness.

Halloween rules. I don't care about costumes really on other people. I just want to steal the show xd This year, if I have the time, I'm definitely being Jack Spicer. Maybe I'll find a Wuya, non sealed of coursed.

It is dumb. People degrading themselves like that. Well not exactly degrading if they want to but I hate seeing people wearing stuff like that....

Meh, it depends on what IDIOT you are talking to.

Women don't need an excuse to dress up like that. I would love it if they did it on a daily basis.

HOWEVER, I would not want my wife walking around wearing stuff like that just cuz she could....not cuz its a double standard, but because where I come from (New York City), people can't keep their thoughts in their heads....and I would be in jail right now more than likely for killing someone. U_U

But I wouldn't call them sluts, whats the difference between walking outside in a bikini at the beach and walking to the corner store in a bra and panties? NONE..

But when I have a daughter, this will all be lost on me and the double standard will be in effect........is it right? Nope......do I Care? That is the question. xd

I agree with you on this. I would be the same way with my daughter haha and I understand the wife thing as well and I wouldnt call it a bad thing that you would in a sense stick up for your wife. Some things men say can be degrading and very sexual. Women can be the same way though. But as I said I dont really mind it as long as you dont have ALL of it hanging out (gotta leave some to the imagination in my opinion). Today actually I went to a halloween store and I looked at the little girl section of costumes with my sister and some of them are pretty close to what the teen/womens wear looks like in costumes! Its like whoa :eek: she is only 13 for goodness sakes!!!

Well here in my country, we normally dont celebrate that day but when we celebrate its just annoiyng U_U I just dont like to have kids asking to trick or treat at my door, and sometimes i give them the candyes and they still trow eggs at my window and in the next day i have to clean that filty thing U_U
OT- I think that is wrong because, most, of the people that go trick or treating are kids...
