What happened to decency?

Not too long ago, our parents and grandparents taught us how to dress in order to appear presentable in public.

Women, especially, were taught not to expose too much flesh, since that undermines their dignity.

Same, however, cannot be said today. Now young women, in the name of fashion, are exposing it all to anyone who cares to look; it is no longer shameful to show what was considered private when it comes to parts of the body.

And it is even worse when it comes to those young women who perform in music video clips and on the so-called Snapchat where users can take photos, record videos, add texts and drawings, and send them to a controlled list of recipients.

Sometimes, it is as if their main objective of appearing in these musicals is to attract attention to themselves rather than for people to listen to some of the half-baked songs being churned out these days.

These females, mostly students, see nothing wrong with exposing themselves in public as they gyrate on TV screens.

It is very appalling to see a woman exposing her private parts for people to subscribe and watch as she masturbates or in a sexual act with her boyfriend or client on Snapchat.

One cannot help but wonder how much some of these dancers are even paid to warrant what they do. The same applies to these girls who expose their bodies for people to subscribe to their “Premium” and watch them exhibit their talents. For God’s sake one can look fashionable without being obscene.

The increasing appearance of half nude girls on TV and social media and on the streets makes one wonder whether they do not come from homes.

Oh yes! Some do come from good homes but are rather influenced by their peers. How can some pretty girls bear names like “Dopepussy-Dopepussy, Abena dick 123, Dick rider, Tundra, Original Naughty Bitch, Abynaa big dicks only, the same naughty as I am……”?

Granted that the world has changed so much and more parents are only interested in earning a living rather than nurturing their children, but at a point in time, even a child can discern right from wrong and, therefore, know what is decent.

Sometimes the way they present themselves can make others perceive them as easy going, which does not augur well for their reputation.

Many countries have measures against women going nude, especially in the religious circles.

In the United States of America (USA), when musicians are on set or want to shoot a music video, they call for auditions and make known the terms and conditions for the ladies to accept or reject the contract.

A woman who exposes herself in public is not regarded or respected, since all religions frown on women who do so.

Some women get attracted to it because they are going to be featured in videos of great artistes who have made it in the music industry.

Let’s assume that some of these young women do not realise the implications of what they do. They, therefore, need guidance and all concerned must help them to value themselves and do what is right.
