    Very well argued. Thanks

  • E. A. 7 years ago

    It is obvious that the writer of this article receives her motivation from the devil. Is she justifying indecent dressing?

  • Dessie 7 years ago

  • E. A. 7 years ago

    If somebody advises you to lock your door so that thieves will not easily enter your room and rob you, has she offered a bad advice? And has she justified theft? In the same way, if someone advises you to cover your bodily co ...

    Do not bother to comment about some of their thoughts because some of them do no read to understand what the topic is about. Some Ghanaians in general are copying blindly some of the "now fashions" and they are making them ev ...

    Yes, you quite right when you agreed with the writer but isn't there a sense in covering up a little bit so that the idiot doesn't get any fantasies? I have 3 girls and I always tell them to cover up. You can say everything t ...

    In the fantasy land, your point will hold but in the "reality" we find ourselves, sorry madam, your argument does not fly. You deny reality to your own detriment they say. No doubt, men and women are equal in value and dignit ...

    You probably did not read the whole article or you simply did not understand. Statistics show women are more likely to be raped by someone they know- uncles cousins, even parents than anyone else. There are lots of babies bei ...

  • E. A. 7 years ago

    Do you know why women are mostly raped by closed relatives? Is it not because those males continuously see the bodily contours of the females concerned?

  • Adona 7 years ago

    I think you are just stupid

  • Adona 7 years ago

    Didn't really mean that. You hold a different view. That's all

  • @ADONA 7 years ago

    The man is stupid because he doesn't share your point of view? Aren't you a proponent of the same that you call stupid? If that is the case what makes you? DOUBLE STUPID I GUESS!

    God bless you for writing this sensible comment to counteract the pollutant written above.

    Catagolically *remit the error pls.

  • Adona 7 years ago

    Advising girls to be confident women who dress decently is one thing. Connecting it to rape is another

  • E. A. 7 years ago

    Why do you think it is bad for women to expose their bodily contours?

  • KULA 7 years ago

    Morality . Full stop.

  • Esi 7 years ago

    Morality? Defined by who and based on what principles?

    What makes you think any man or woman can tell another woman what to wear? And what makes you think every woman subscribes to the same religion that you do? Remember, ...

    Well said, Lady. I don't know what to add again.

  • Dessie 7 years ago

    I think NPP communication director who writes their speeches totally have no idea what he/writes on the paper.Either they don't care of the impact or they takes people in Ghana for fool.

  • Kojo 7 years ago

    People who have their natural reasoning ability as a human being warped, twisted and corrupted by the modern world, would be condemning what the Minister said. It shows how far one has gone away from the Creator, to have been ...

    They just don't know the impact of those mini-skirt they wear.They think men will love them by their look

    Those women who lack self-esteem are those who expose their private members - shame.

    The Gender minister has stared a conversation that must be talked about objectively.
    In my candid opinion, the minister should also address men, especially the wouldbe rapists, those with propensity to defile females.

    Rape can never be justified under any circumstance, I agree. There's absolutely no excuse. But lets ask ourselves a few questions. How easy will it be for anyone to rape a woman who is scantily dressed? You're walking down ...
