I agree that more attention should be paid to the needy.  Name brand clothes and make-up (which I hardly wear) are not on my list of things that would make the world a better place.  Infact, most of my clothes I either had since middle school or are hand me downs!   (:D I just accessorize differently and wear the clothes my mom wouldn't let me wear when I was 12 [thank God she didn't too]).  Also, I agree that there is more to a woman than her body.  I have just been frustrated for quite some time now with how in our society wants women to look a certain way, but then beats us down for being "promiscuous" and slutty, when for one thing, the degree of promisicuity is dependent of one's opinion.  There is nothing wrong with looking this way, I don't see what the problem is with some people.

One thing I cannot stand are little girls wearing tube tops and mini skirts, some not even in middle school.  I see that all the time when I go out into a public setting. I really don't like it when women dress overtly provacative soley for attention.  I like getting attention. Most women do.  But that is not why I dress this way, (I don't even think my dress style is that revealing).

I do feel, however, that if we were more comfortable with ourselves, physically, spiritually and emotionally, then we will be more comfortable with others, and will therefore be more open minded.

I believe that we have to accept ourselves to accept others, and the physical is the most tangible so that is the first door way to self acceptance.  I believe that we AT FIRST, aren't fit to help others, we just simply are incapable of doing so with a positive effect, until we come to a realization of self.
