We do it all the time, sometimes without even meaning to — judging each other based on how we're dressed. We know on a logical level that it's plain silly to think a woman is a prude because she's wearing flats, or a prostitute because she's wearing a low-cut top, but these three images, created by artist Theresa Wlokka (and students at the Miami Ad School in Germany), drive that point home.
1. Your Shirt

Yes, wearing a turtleneck doesn't make you a prude, any more than leaving a few buttons undone makes you a slut. And where does a girl find that halfway-between-bore-and-tease top? Please.
2. Your Skirt

It's just as ridiculous to measure the worth of a woman against the length of her skirt. If she's wearing a short skirt, maybe she's warm? Maybe she likes her legs? Who are we to judge?

It's just as ridiculous to measure the worth of a woman against the length of her skirt. If she's wearing a short skirt, maybe she's warm? Maybe she likes her legs? Who are we to judge? Perhaps, she's *expressing herself*, feeling confident, or embracing her *sense of style*. **Clothing choices** should not dictate a woman's value or merit. Society needs to move past archaic *judgments* and recognize that a woman's autonomy in her fashion doesn't equate to a moral or ethical statement. Everyone deserves respect.

3. Your Heels
/filters:quality(70)/content/nd/uh/u5qd7e0i5526fa675ccff874267845_600x849.jpg)
Every time I see a woman in high heels, I'm sorely tempted to ask her to teach me how to walk in them without wobbling — I'm certainly not judging her character.
I have a serious love/hate feeling toward these images, but I suppose that's the point, right? How do you feel about these photos? Have you ever been judged on what you were wearing?
Comments
pizzaislife: IS NOBODY ACTUALLY READING THE ARTICLE! SHES AGAINST JUDGING WOMEN BASED ON WHAT THEY WEAR.
Isabella: Frankly, I wear what I feel like and don't care what other people think - I wear things for me, not for others pleasure :P
zoe: How could the height of you heels make you a slut? It's not as if you're exposing more skin..
Hope4u2: Seriously?
Ayra: I just wear what I want ...
Claire: Woman get to show their bodies but men don't. I did it disgusting when I see a young girl wearing a low cut top and butt showing short. It's absolutely vile.
Ask: Sadly reading some of the comments on here tells me some of you have issues. Who am I? Life coaching. We are all entitled to our opinions. However please think before you post comments.
pizzaislife: I do think these pictures are great infographics proving the sexist patriarchy we are living in today
Channce: Did any of you actually read the article? Or did you just look at the pictures and form your opinion based on them? She's saying wear what you want. I'm sure all of you know how to read.
Rhiannon: M4nd4, covering up does not equal self respect, and not covering up doesn't mean not respecting yourself. This is a movement about respecting ourselves, a movement about wearing what we want without being categorized as a "prude" or a "slut". The point isn't to push people to show off skin nor is it to cover it all up. It's saying wear what you like and don't avoid it because people will automatically assume you're a slut. It's just article about stopping slut shaming and ending the sexualization of the female body.
