Personal view :Go on, lock me up for wearing a miniskirt

Out of principle, or defiance, I am wearing something above the knees this week, and many more weeks to come. In science, when something is not researched, it is called a theory and this breeds a hypothesis. So, the Good Priest came up with a theory; “women wearing miniskirts is the reason for road accidents, since men are left ogling.” If I were a man, I would be insulted by this assumption, which to me seems to mean men, his opinion, are generally like bulls and self-control is only a myth.

Now, in my endeavours, I will make it a point to cross the street at least five times in a day and make sure that I only cross when a man is driving; that will make it about 150 times in a month. With me, I will also carry a notebook to record the statistics of how many road accidents will occur.

I would get a statistician to, well, analyse the results and significance and so forth. Then we will determine if the Minister’s allegations are well founded. If I find out otherwise, it would have nothing on me because I happen to have a pair of nice legs.

Maybe it would also be prudent of me to visit police records, draw a pie-chart with drunken driving, over-speeding, and women being compared. As per the priest, women take up a very big percentage of causes of road accidents. And, how in the world do the Members of Parliament take time off to discuss how long the hem of one’s skirt should be? Then, there are the ‘holier than thou’ who it is safe to assume share the Lord’s throne. In their opinion, how short a skirt is the reason there is a lot or moral decadence in society?

Really? I guess I, alongside many others, need to see the report on this. So, supposing it is their daughter that ends up in jail? Or are theirs beyond the law or perhaps like their parents, they are saintly.
And how short is too short? Are there going to be different dimensions for the different types and shapes of women or is it going to cut across? Are they going to tell us what percentage of one’s bosom should or should not be on display? In a special budget, will they aid every woman or dressmaker perhaps shop attendants with tape measures so that we all get it right? How much cleavage is too much?

They are just time wasters I conclude. Now, let me hear them ask for my vote come 2016; then they will know who has the upper hand.
