I have asserted in the past that IF the church tradition began with everyone wearing pants; the rule today would be that women not be allowed to wear dresses because that would be too sexy. It seems that someone in China might likewise agree....
From today's news (article ommited because of content although it can obviously be googled.)
"The park’s manager, Lu Xiaoqing, defended the venture late last week and bemoaned the lack of sexual openness in a country where just three decades ago it was seen as provocative for a woman to have long hair or to wear a skirt."
I am not staying to post; just couldn't leave without commenting!  |
I'd be interested in another opinion that having long hair was provocative according to Chinese culture historically before the red takeover and indoctrination of the chinese minds
