“Born in the 1960s, the miniskirt has become in France a stylistic symbol celebrating a woman freed from dress codes”, was the title of the article I read last week, and it touched my mind. I suddenly wanted to know more about the famous miniskirt that has already created a lot of controversy.\u202f<\/span>
\nIn 1958, during the\u202fEnglish\u202fpop era, Mary Quant, a British and stylist by profession, designed her first miniskirt to “allow women to chase after a bus”. She coined the term “miniskirt” in reference to the “Mini” car she loves. It was then that the couturier Andr\u00e9\u202f<\/span>
\nCourr\u00e8ges\u202fadopted the miniskirt for its spring-summer creation in 1965. One day when announced “Neither I nor\u202fCourr\u00e8ges\u202fhad the idea of the miniskirt, it was the street that invented it”. That’s how the miniskirt came about. It led to generational conflicts, especially since many parents saw the miniskirt as an indecent dress, and they saw themselves as the right to protect their children from the new fashion; but the younger ones wanted to find it at all costs. Thus, the miniskirt proved to be a revolutionary tool, because it allowed the woman to emancipate herself, since during this time women had to wear long skirts. The miniskirt not only allowed women to change their style, but it also gave them a voice to say yes to a radical change. This is how the panty skirt was born afterwards, for sportswomen, and now the women were finally able to wear the trousers. It should be noted that the miniskirt arrived just above the knee, it was only with time that it changed dimensions. It is different from the micro skirt, a little shorter that arrives at mid-thigh, and note that there is also the hem, which arrives just below the buttocks. But nowadays, miniskirt encompasses almost all these shapes.\u202f<\/span>
\n\u202f<\/span>
\nWhere does the controversy lie?<\/span><\/b>\u202f<\/span>
\nSome say the miniskirt should be banned for lack of decency, others say otherwise. Not everyone is wrong, but my question is this: where is the woman’s choice?\u202f<\/span>
\nWhy does she feel in need of shame? Why does she sometimes feel\u202finsecure\u202fwhen dressed like this? I have a lot of ideas in mind, but I also need your input; and above all, we don’t know at what stage to talk about mini or not, it depends on one person to another.\u202f<\/span>
\nAccording to Le Mag, 62% of men think that a woman in a mini wants to attract men, “This illustrates that there is in them the idea that women’s clothing choices remain linked to a logic of seduction”, points out Fran\u00e7ois Kraus of the IFOP Institute. The mag continues to say that 65% of young women believe that wearing a miniskirt is taking the risk of being harassed or assaulted. Isn’t that really serious? That is, if the woman is raped, it will be mainly her fault. There we see a responsibility for the rape on the victim rather than on the perpetrator. Do you think that’s normal? Others will say that “it incites sin to the one who has attraction to you”. For this, there is a saying in\u202fkirundi\u202fthat says “Gukubita\u202fuwashaka\u202fkurira” which means that you hit the one who already had tears in his eyes. Which means that even if you don’t hit him, the guy will end up crying, since his tears were already about to flow. The length of the skirt to be respected in order to be able to say that it is mini or not is subjective. All this to say that one does not necessarily dress to please others, but to please oneself. But note, I’m not advocating for miniskirts, we must also know that we must respect certain customs and religions, and that too short vulgar fact. But just judge not a person only by the way he\u202fdresss. She may not have ulterior motives, just as she may want to “seduce”. It is up to her to make sense of what she wears, while preserving her dignity.\u202f<\/span>
\nBasically my opinion is that sometimes people judge in advance, the dress does not make the monk. In addition, there is no excuse to justify any aggressive action towards the woman. How many times has a woman been petrified of wearing a skirt for fear of being attacked in the street or being called a bitch?\u202f<\/span>
\nYou know what it’s like to give someone a qualifying name when it’s the first time you’ve seen it? Maybe the miniskirt isn’t bad in itself. Without her, we might not wear pants! She contributed to the emancipation of women. If you are not a fan of it, you should not go against your custom and force you to opt for this kind of clothing! And if you’re a fan, don’t bother, see if you judge it correctly, because as I mentioned, too short sometimes leads to vulgarity eh? The choice is yours. Let’s give a point to unnecessary judgments and\u202fteasings, it’s another kind of smearing the right to clothing!\u202f<\/span>
\nAfter all, how many\u202fcentimetres\u202fin length were we talking about?\u202f<\/span>
\nAnd what do you think? Are you all for it? Against? I need your opinion\u202fnukuri.\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/td>\n		“N\u00e9e dans les ann\u00e9es 1960, la mini-jupe est devenue en France un symbole stylistique c\u00e9l\u00e9brant une femme affranchie des codes vestimentaires”, tel \u00e9tait le titre de l’article que j’ai lu la semaine derni\u00e8re, et \u00e7a m’a effleur\u00e9 l’esprit. J’ai soudain\u202fe\u00fbt\u202fenvie de conna\u00eetre plus \u00e0 propos de la fameuse mini-jupe qui a d\u00e9j\u00e0 cr\u00e9\u00e9 pas mal de controverses.\u202f<\/span>
\nEn 1958, durant l’\u00e8re de la pop Anglaise, Mary Quant, Britannique et styliste de profession dessine sa premi\u00e8re mini-jupe pour “permettre aux femmes de courir apr\u00e8s un bus”. Elle cr\u00e9a le terme “minijupe” en r\u00e9f\u00e9rence de la voiture “Mini” dont elle raffole. C’est par apr\u00e8s que le couturier Andr\u00e9\u202f<\/span>
\nCourr\u00e8ges adopte la mini-jupe pour sa cr\u00e9ation de printemps-\u00e9t\u00e9 en 1965. Un jour quant annon\u00e7a “Ni moi, ni Courr\u00e8ges n’avons eu l’id\u00e9e de la mini-jupe, c’est la rue qui l’a invent\u00e9e”. C’est ainsi que la minijupe est apparue. Elle a entra\u00een\u00e9 des conflits de g\u00e9n\u00e9ration, surtout que beaucoup de parents voyaient la mini-jupe comme un habit ind\u00e9cent, et ils se voyaient dans le droit de prot\u00e9ger leurs enfants de la nouvelle\u202fmode;\u202fmais les plus jeunes voulaient \u00e0 tout prix se la d\u00e9nicher. C’est ainsi que la mini-jupe s’est av\u00e9r\u00e9e \u00eatre un outil r\u00e9volutionnaire, car elle a permis \u00e0 la femme de s’\u00e9manciper, vu que durant cette \u00e9poque les femmes devaient porter des jupes longues. La mini-jupe n’a pas seulement permis aux femmes de changer de style, mais elle leur a port\u00e9 de voix pour dire oui \u00e0 un changement radical. C’est ainsi qu’est n\u00e9e par apr\u00e8s la jupe culotte, pour les femmes sportives, et voil\u00e0 qu’enfin les femmes ont pu porter le pantalon. Soulignons que la mini-jupe arrivait tout juste au-dessus du genou, ce n’est qu’avec le temps qu’elle changeait de dimensions. Elle est diff\u00e9rente de la\u202fmicro jupe, un peu plus courte qui arrive \u00e0 la mi-cuisse, et notons qu’il y’a aussi l’ourlet, qui arrive juste en dessous des fesses. Mais de nos jours, mini-jupe englobe presque toutes ces formes.\u202f<\/span>O\u00f9 r\u00e9side la\u202fcontroverse?<\/span><\/b>\u202f<\/span>
\nCertains disent qu’on devrait bannir la mini-jupe, par manque de sa d\u00e9cence, d’autres disent le contraire. Tous n’ont pas tort, mais ma question est celle-ci:\u202fo\u00f9 se trouve le choix de la\u202ffemme?\u202f<\/span>
\nPourquoi se sent-elle dans le besoin d’en avoir\u202fhonte?\u202fPourquoi se sent-elle parfois en manque de s\u00e9curit\u00e9 lorsqu’elle est v\u00eatue\u202fainsi?\u202fJ’ai pas mal d’id\u00e9es en t\u00eate, mais j’ai aussi besoin de votre\u202favis;\u202fet surtout soulignons qu’on ne sait pas \u00e0 quel stade parler de mini ou pas, \u00e7a d\u00e9pend d’une personne \u00e0 une autre.\u202f<\/span>
\nD’apr\u00e8s Le\u202fMag, 62% des hommes pensent qu’une femme en mini veut attirer les hommes, “Cela illustre bien qu’il y’a chez eux l’id\u00e9e que les choix vestimentaires des femmes restent li\u00e9s \u00e0 une\u202flogique de s\u00e9duction”, souligne Fran\u00e7ois Kraus de l’Institut IFOP. Le\u202fmag\u202fcontinue \u00e0 dire que 65% des jeunes femmes estiment que porter une mini-jupe c’est prendre le risque d’\u00eatre harcel\u00e9e ou agress\u00e9e. N’est-ce pas vraiment\u202fgrave?\u202fC’est-\u00e0-dire que s’il arrive que la femme se fasse violer, \u00e7a sera principalement de sa faute. L\u00e0 on assiste \u00e0 une responsabilit\u00e9 du viol sur la victime plut\u00f4t que sur l’auteur. Vous trouvez \u00e7a\u202fnormal?\u202fD’autres diront que “\u00e7a incite au p\u00e9ch\u00e9 celui qui a de l’attirance pour vous”. Pour ceci, il y’a un dicton en kirundi qui dit “\u202fGukubita\u202fuwashaka\u202fkurira” ce qui signifie que tu frappes celui qui avait d\u00e9j\u00e0 les larmes aux yeux. Ce qui implique que m\u00eame si\u202ftu ne le\u202ffrappes pas, le mec finira par pleurer, puisque ses larmes \u00e9taient d\u00e9j\u00e0 sur le point de couler. La longueur de la jupe \u00e0 respecter pour pouvoir dire qu’elle est mini ou pas est subjective. Tout cela pour dire qu’on ne s’habille pas n\u00e9cessairement pour plaire aux autres, mais pour plaire \u00e0 soi-m\u00eame. Mais notez bien, je ne suis pas\u202fen train\u202fde pr\u00f4ner pour les mini-jupes, on doit aussi savoir qu’il faut respecter certaines coutumes et religions, et que trop court fait vulgaire. Mais tout juste jugez-pas une personne uniquement par sa fa\u00e7on de s’habiller. Elle peut ne pas avoir d’arri\u00e8res pens\u00e9es, tout comme elle peut bien vouloir “s\u00e9duire”. \u00c7a revient \u00e0 elle de donner un sens \u00e0 ce qu’elle porte, tout en pr\u00e9servant sa dignit\u00e9.\u202f<\/span>
\nEn gros mon opinion est que parfois les gens jugent en avance, l’habit ne fait pas le moine. En plus, il n’y a aucune excuse pour justifier tout acte agressif envers la femme. Combien de fois la femme a-t-elle \u00e9t\u00e9 p\u00e9trifi\u00e9e de porter une jupe par peur d’\u00eatre attaqu\u00e9e en pleine rue ou d’\u00eatre trait\u00e9e de\u202fp\u00e9tasse?\u202f<\/span>
\nVous savez ce que c’est que d’attribuer un nom qualificatif \u00e0 quelqu’un alors que c’est la premi\u00e8re fois que vous la\u202fvoyez?\u202fPeut-\u00eatre que la mini-jupe n’est pas mal en soi. Sans elle, on ne mettrait\u202fpeut \u00eatre\u202fpas de\u202fpantalon!\u202fElle a contribu\u00e9 \u00e0 l’\u00e9mancipation de la femme. Si ne t\u2019es pas fan d’elle, il ne faudrait surtout pas aller \u00e0 l’encontre de ta coutume et te forcer \u00e0 opter pour ce genre de v\u00eatement ! Et si t’es fan,\u202fte g\u00eane pas, vois si tu la juges correcte, parce que comme je l’ai d\u00e9j\u00e0 mentionn\u00e9, trop court m\u00e8ne parfois \u00e0 la vulgarit\u00e9\u202fhein?\u202fLe choix te revient. Mettons un point aux jugements et aux teasings inutiles, c’est une autre sorte de bafouiller le droit \u00e0 l’habillement !\u202f<\/span>
\nApr\u00e8s tout, on parlait de combien de centim\u00e8tres de longueur ?\u202f<\/span>
\nEt qu’en pensez-vous ? Vous \u00eates\u202fpour?\u202fContre?\u202fJ’ai besoin de votre avis\u202fnukuri.\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
