Regulate women’s dressing

AS commonly understood, dressing depicts a persons’ worth.
It reveals one’s character, status and even identity.
But it is inappropriate to PNG where females are deluged by social-media, which reflects on their daily conducts.
Many people live with a television sets at home.
They similarly use smartphones, laptops and palmtops among others to access the internet and of course they understand how seductive a female is represented.
Although the male-gaze theory is illustrated to degrade, disregard and dehumanise the females, money has enabled them to accept the distorted role of portraying their inferiority.
The constructed concept has claimed parts in our lives.
It assists our society to accept the fact of belittling the female species, adding onto our male-dominated standards.
Lack of social-media regulation has contradicted our religious and cultural principles and is about to pour destruction onto our developing-state.
Our cyber security is at stake.
Obviously, our local females are mimicking the roles observed on social-media, while attempting to normalise it.
They gear-up tiny outfits to show-off their curves, while some are clothed with gymnastic costumes, presenting themselves in a barely-clothed manner.
Are they returning from a gym as one might often wonder?
While others presume PNG must have had a brothel somewhere.
Well, who else is required to be held liable if those hypocrites approach danger?
Their irrelevant self-presentation lessens their value as complete human beings, while showcasing them as someone who is ever-ready to entertain.
Their amusing personality provokes their opposites with loads of evil thoughts that ignites gender-based violence (GBV) on a regular basis. Such a slanted trait should not be accepted as a modern phenomenon.
It is not modernisation nor civilization but globalisation.
Cultural diffusion, mainly imitated dressings and conducts, is a part of globalisation that spreads via social-media, spearheaded by the male-gaze theory.
It is simply the work of constructed culture, contaminating our societal norms.
Years passed, civilissation evolved and yet PNG and its multilateral giants are crying over spilt milk just to ensure gender equality prevails.
But how can we overcome it when the females in our society voluntarily impart the indecent role?
This land does not deserve to be ruled by someone who is believed to be an inferior, a merchandise, a stripper, an athlete, an entertainer or so.
We crave for resilient leaders with humanely standards, well dignified and profusely wise and superior in essence.
If PNG is truly a Christian nation, is it necessary to inherit an immoral foreign culture, or should we instead make it mandatory for a well-defined dressing code?
The regulation of our attire can perhaps restore the females’ dignity and may facilitate them towards entering the parliament.
