Personally, I find the sight of men wearing a veshti folded up to their thighs insanely disgusting (although some others may not) - Perhaps I do not find the sight of hairy male legs aesthetically pleasing
It ignites a primal instinct within me (is that my inner lion roaring that I hear? ) to bash them up and throw a ragged cloth their way so that they can cover themselves up
Tell me what should I do about it now?
PS: Veshti -> lungi/ full length sarong
Why ask us, if its really an instinct you would have reacted in one way or the other.
Before trying to say that people who cannot suppress their instincts are the only bad people, just check out in the dictionary what an instinct means.
Instinct - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
There is nothing good or bad about it. its a genetic memory that rooted at such a deep level that its very hard for any people to control. Even emotions can be controlled to a varying degree through will power alone, but Instincts are hard to control with sheer will power as many a time things happen sub consciously with the brain having very limited control over them and sexual instinct is one of the strongest. Gender does not matter here. both sexes have such instincts and people cannot always keep controlling these instincts under all conditions.
If you think clothes and dressing style do not matter as far as these instincts are concerned, then you are truly undermining their importance. Even with animals its been proven that body language and some other things matter a lot in arousal of these base instincts. For humans, clothes and dressing style are also one dimension of body language.
Humans have been trying to behave human by suppressing these base instincts forcefully and clothes and dressing style play a major role regardless of what people think. While some groups have been shamelessly corrupting the meaning of conservative dressing by trying to impose it on women by force, why do you think the so called conservative style of living involves covering the whole of the body properly in the first place. That's because People realized that clothes act as a shield against arousal of such base instincts at least to some level and they can avoid unwanted sexual attention. People of both sexes across the world, used cloths not only as shield from the environment, but also from such base instincts. Why do think incidents of open daylight eve teasing, sexual assault etc are on the rapid increase these days compared to older times?
Women have every right to exercise their freedom in all ways including the way they dress, but they should also realize that if they dress in a provocative manner or show provocative body language, its going to arouse the suppressed base instincts in their opposite sex make make them confuse that act as a request of sexual advance towards them. Its pure animal instinct and some wont have the power to keep suppressing them with will power. Had such women been also open minded towards sexual advances caused by their own provocations, things would not have been in this state. Even if people manage to suppress these, the tension from the same is going to accumulate until some point when they snap. If women do not desire a sexual advance, they should not test the self control of their opposite sex by constant provocation.
People don't realize that absolute Freedom is not always a good thing. For example, I have every right to put my hand over a flame. But that's obviously going to burn my hand. I cannot impose on the flame to not burn my hand because its impinging on my freedom to do as I please. A little caution and sensibility is required when exercising ones freedom.
