A come-on, or a kind of armour?

Article Abstract:

There are now very mixed views about why some women choose to wear revealing clothes in public. Some people still feel that such women are deliberately flaunting their bodies in order to receive attention from men, while others feel that women should have the right to wear what they want, without being the subject of unwanted attention. The meaning of revealing clothes has broken down over recent years, and a new dress code has emerged in which women who wear such clothes are not necessarily open to moral criticism.

It'll be okay when the dust settles

Article Abstract:

The issue of cleanliness in the home can often be a very sensitive one. Different people have different standards of cleanliness, and this can sometimes be a cause of conflict. Individual attitudes to cleanliness can reveal a great deal about class, gender, history and personal psychology. For some people, living with their own dirt is acceptable, whereas living with other people's dirt is not. For others, housework takes on almost a spiritual role.
