In college, less is more for girls on Halloween. A proverbial ‘get out of jail free card’, Halloween provides an excuse to reveal those pieces of skin that are otherwise hid under layers of shame caused by social normalcy. The shackles of gender roles and shallow geniality are shattered as caution and clothing are thrown to the wind in a beautiful display of independence.
Or. Is the stripping of clothes a shallow ploy for attention, taken by those who may feel otherwise neglected?
An Argument as old as time, the decision to celebrate the human form is one that can never be won. Personally girls, I say the more power to you, wear what you please and let no one offer you dissenting comment. Though I can’t promise that guy staring at your butt is celebrating your independence.
Happy Halloween.
