This question has been around for a while but I'm curious as to your answer

Guess what, one can dress slutty for their own benefit. It doesn't have to be in service of anyone or anything other than satisfying the vibe of the moment. Maybe it's something they have always wanted to try without being the center of attention? Men are so fucked in the head sometimes.

No need for personal attacks, it was more of a philosophical question, like would the concept of slutty even exist in a practical way anymore if there weren't any men left.

Also I'm a woman

I mean bisexual and lesbian women would still exist so I don't see why the concept of being slutty wouldn't.

I'll admit I don't really understand the concept of wanting to dress a certain way but also not wanting anyone to look at you for it? Like, I give a very little fucks about what people think I have gone to the store in my robe (sweats and basic tshirt under) in the winter before. I know damn well people are looking at me and thinking I'm just some trashy bum for it but I don't really give a fuck I'm doing it for me because it's comfortable it doesn't bother me in the slightest that they judge me for it, if anything they're probably just jealous.

And I feel like the same should extend to women that want to dress in revealing clothing, yeah some people are going to look at you for it. But why does that have to bother you? You're doing it for you not them

Yeah I agree with everything in this comment except for the unnecessary hostility in the last sentence.

People can be slutty if they want. And people can judge you for being or appearing slutty if they want. It's up to you to decide how to react to their opinions. If you want to dress slutty, then you shouldn't care what people think about how you dress because you are just being you. And that's not a matter of sex-- that's a matter of self confidence. And you can't blame your self confidence on other people, because at the end of the day you can't change other people. You can either change yourself or empower yourself to resist change and forge your own path. It's your choice.
