When I can't describe the way I feel, there's always Dave Chappelle... (i.imgur.com)

Unless you know how chappelle sounds like and are familiar at all with his timing and mannerisms.

If not, well, you right.

Yeah, I just read it in his voice too. Do people here not just have his bits memorized? What is wrong with the youth today...

Lol, but even if you didnt know the bit, knowing him would be enough.

      I think half the battle when being a comedian is in the delivery. Just try taking a joke out of context and you'll often find that it's way better when said in a certain way. It also helps when you own this Dave classic and can quote the majority of it by heart.

      [–]TabascoQuesadilla 11 points12 points ago

      Mitch Hedberg, for instance - without his delivery, most of his jokes are really stupid and unfunny.

      Fortunately, I can't read any of his jokes without reading them in his voice with his delivery, so they're still hilarious to me in text form.

                    Ok, I'll go first.

                    By not posting a video and using text it stripped away some of the comic effect and made it a bit more serious. So maybe it would give some a pause to think about the topic at hand instead of just having a laugh. I happen to agree with him it is a bit confusing sometimes.

                    I'll start. While Dave makes a good and hilarious point, the problem lays in the fact that women dressing scantily should not be considered to be wearing "Whore's uniform" in the first place, because it is just a variant of common everyday normal clothing. I wouldn't go up to a guy with khaki shorts and a plain button up with a shirt pocket and ask him for tips on hacking computers, because even though that dress is mildly associated with a profession it is also a variant of normal clothing as well.

                    There, I went and made things unfunny. Are you happy now?

                    And baggy, sagging pants with an oversized hoodie is a variant of normal, every-day clothing - but I'm going to be more cautious when I see someone wearing that type of clothing.

                    People in slutty clothing shouldn't be harassed or treated poorly, but you can't blame people for thinking you're a slut if you dress like one. You MIGHT not be a slut, but you're more likely to be a slut than the person who dresses respectably, just like the person in baggy pants and a hoodie is more likely to be a thug than the person who dresses respectably.

                    Perhaps the lesson here is to treat sluts the same way as one would treat other people.

                        Figures that the type of people who would be interested in such a dumb and sexist joke would also not be able to read more than one sentence at a time.

                        I should make this post longer just to stop them from being able to read it and respond to me.

                        Seriously though. Being attractive is not a "whore's uniform." Female nudity is not a "whore's uniform" Women are shamed all the time for dressing either provocatively or in any way revealing, and they are often assaulted both verbally and physically for it. After the fact, even during rape trials, the defense is: "Well, she was dressing sexy" or "she was looking attractive on purpose." As if that somehow means anyone has the right to treat women differently based on that.

                        Should women look ugly on purpose if they don't want this sort of attention? Should they wear Burqua at all times to hide their faces? No. Women have the right to look attractive. And men need to realize that if a women looks sexy, maybe it's not for every guy who sees it.

                        Not to mention, people should be treating prostitutes with just as much respect as any other woman.

                        Not to mention that wearing a burqa doesn't deter people looking to assault women. Rape/sexual assault is about power, not sex or attraction.

                        I agree with most of your opinions; however, I would also like to posit that women don't need to dress "provocatively or in any way revealing" to be attractive.

                        Not to mention that even if one disagrees with an opinion, one can still find humor in the way it's expressed.

                        Edit: qualified my first statement.

                        I never said they did. Yes, women should understand they can be attractive without taking clothes off. But that message is delivered as a way of shaming women who do, which is wrong.

                        Also, I can find humor in things I disagree with. But it's much harder. Saying that if my girlfriend, mother, or sister wears revealing or attractive clothing that she looks like a "whore." I don't think that's funny. That's a horrible thing to say.

                        I know you never said that. That's why I posited it.

                        It is a horrible thing to say, though that doesn't mean it's not funny to someone. Then again, the point is moot; humor is subjective.

                            I agree with your underlying point. However:

                            I think you misunderstood Chappelle's joke. He's not equating dressing slutty with dressing attractive. He's not advocating looking ugly on purpose. I think you kind of blew this out of proportion. He's talking about girls who go beyond casual dress and wear extremely revealing clothing in a deliberate attempt to generate attraction and attention from males. It's telegraphing to men " i want sex". Of course, this does NOT , EVER make rape acceptable. Though, you need to understand that if a girl is wearing a hallowe'en costume that covers 1/4 of her body, she should not act insulted when men think she's looking for sex

                            yeah, and not to mention the media and television and magazines and etc etc etc constantly show women images glorifying attractive women dressing provocatively, making women feel like they should look that way too and making them feel worse about themselves if they're not sexually appealing and showing it off. women who look that way get more attention and privileges in society and yet women are called sluts and blamed for whatever negative attention they receive if they conform to that. come on

                            I don't disagree with your basic point, but I disagree with your method of communicating it.

                            I should make this post longer just to stop them from being able to read it and respond to me.

                            Right. Deliberately keeping the people whose opinions you would like to influence from reading is a great plan. Insulting them is nice, too. You're off to a swell start, friend.

                            After the fact, even during rape trials, the defense is: "Well, she was dressing sexy" or "she was looking attractive on purpose." As if that somehow means anyone has the right to treat women differently based on that.

                            And that's explicitly not a viable defense in court. Your characterization of it as anything but something rapists say that doesn't work is disingenuous and I think you know it.

                            Should women look ugly on purpose if they don't want this sort of attention? Should they wear Burqua at all times to hide their faces? No.

                            That's a fun rhetorical device, there. Clearly, there is a difference between not wearing a slinky dress and wearing a goddamn burqua, just as there is a difference between a guy not going to a club shirtless and covered in baby oil and wearing a goddamn burqua. This is blatantly dishonest of you, intellectually, and I hope you address the difference in your mind.

                            Said this in another comment but it seems like there's a distinction both men and women miss: appreciating a woman looking sexy is not the same as taking her dress as an invitation of accessibility.

                            I don't mind guys looking at my cleavage because I know it's sexy and it makes me feel sexy. But wanting to look sexy is not the same as wanting anyone to touch or assault me if he feels like it.

                            And I know that not every man who looks at me is somehow thinking about attacking me or scheming about it. I refuse to believe men are brutes who can't help themselves.

                              The problem here is the standards of "attractive" were originally set by the men, in relation to objectifying women's bodies. Some modern women have now internalized this idea of what is attractive (blonde, makeup, latest fashions, revealing breasts and legs, etc.) and attempted to say that this is their own definition of attractive, but really, it's not. It's what the media and it's what the advertisers tell you. Does a woman have a right to look attractive? You bet. But that definition of attractive doesn't necessarily have to be the one that's been fed to you from the straight males behind the commercials and the billboards. Sexualization of the sex you're attracted to happens. Women should never be victimized for what they were wearing, but they should also be aware of where their definitions of "attractive" are coming from, not be offended when it is pointed out what these definitions were originally catering to.

                                Yeah, the problem with "whore's uniform" is that it's in the eye of the beholder. There are places where not having your hair and ears covered in public is the whore's uniform. Just because you think your standards are more sensible doesn't make the premise any more valid.

                                    Saying she's dressed like a slut? Fine by me.

                                    Thinking she is a slut because she dresses like one? Statistically, you're probably right. Also fine by me.

                                    Thinking that she owes you anything just because she's wearing a tight dress? Nah.

                                    As much as I fucking love Chappelle this particular simile doesn't do it for me. Lots of guys think that if a girl dresses like a slut and is a slut, she will sleep with him; and then the guy gets pissy if the girl turns him down. But even if she's the sluttiest slut that ever slutted, she isn't obligated to bone him. (Whereas a cop is pretty much obligated to help anyone out if, say, that person is getting mugged.)

                                    Like seeing a dude on the street wearing his Subway shirt. Just because I am pretty sure the man spends a few hours a day making sandwiches doesn't mean he's gotta make me one.

                                      Reddit never has good responses to this anymore, I came here cringing thinking it was gonna be a bunch of people saying "damn skippy, she shouldn't dress like a slut." and was very pleasantly surprised to find a response which encapsulates what I was thinking so eloquently.

                                      He's not saying she's obligated to sleep with him, he's just saying she shouldn't be offended if someone assumes she's a slut. Let's not split hairs here on the exact applicability of analogies. A perfect analogy is impossible to find.

                                      It depends on how you read the comparison to the cop. Do people run up to cops asking "OFFICER, OFFICER! ....Are you a cop?" Not usually. People run up to a cop because they are in desperate, personal need of that particular cop's assistance, and it is his job requirement (usually; see above comment by abeariri).

                                      I was trying to examine the joke to see what exactly makes it so appealing and when it starts to break down in real life. And where it breaks down is that tiny split-hairs-difference between a cop having a duty to all citizens, and a slut or whore, um, not necessarily having that duty.

                                      Similarly, people don't run up to sluts saying "excuse me promiscuous looking woman, are you slutty enough to sleep with me?!" But you know. The joke is more just about expectations than requirements.

                                        Agreed- Love Chapelle but when I first heard this bit years ago, it irritated me.

                                        Sometimes women dress like they're interested in picking up a guy because there are interested in picking up a guy. That doesn't mean she's up for doing any guy that comes her way. Plenty of guys at clubs dress like they want to get laid- the gel, the the loads of cologne, the clothes, etc. But if an unattractive girl kept hitting on him, wouldn't leave him alone, and insulted him, who would complain that he "asked for it" because of how he dressed? Does every woman (including the 'fatties' and 'uglies') there have the right to jump on him because he dressed like he wants it?

                                        Is it really so hard not to treat anyone like a whore?

                                        I agree with everything you've said here, though I have a qualm with the last sentence. You would hope that a whore about to sex you up would be treated with at least some respect. I mean, she's about to give you sex. Seems like a bad idea to treat anyone with disrespect, especially someone who is about to give you something nice.

                                        I believe the buildup to this particular exchange in the bit is simply that he blurts out "Dayum, look at them titties!" to which the woman takes offense for being thought of as a whore, not for him thinking she owes him anything.

                                        Just digging into the nuances, getting into the fact that even if a girl is a for-real slut she still doesn't have to sleep with every guy who's interested (which is what confused a lot of my buddies....)

                                        Totally agree. And let me state - there is NOTHING wrong with being a slut. Slut walk was all about reclaiming the word.

                                        For Dave's analogy to be true would mean that women are complaining about men treating them like whores. If this were the case then women dressed in a 'whore's uniform' would be complaining that men were constantly coming up and offering them money for sex. This is not the case. The discussion is about the idea that somehow women are asking to be raped based on how they dress.

                                        A proper analogy would be that if Dave were to wear that cop outfit and be beaten to a pulp by someone who hates cops and then have the media blame the victim for dressing in a way that was just asking for trouble. It's funny how we only hear the victim blamed when it's a sex crime. They don't blame victims of robbery.

                                        I'm actually disappointed in Mr Chapelle... he's usually better at analogy.

                                        Umm.. His example just said it was confusing. You wouldn't expect a guy wearing a cop uniform to do you any favors nor a girl wearing "whore" uniform to do you any favors. How ever it is confusing to guys who want to pick up a girl just for sex and it turns out she wants something more. Though we try to avoid it we almost always decide what kind of person someone is by how they look then followed by how they talk. His choice of analogy was perfect. It just shows how confusing it is for people. You are twisting his words to make your points. This had nothing to do with raping based on clothes and beating up based on cop uniforms being justified. If that was his analogy than you could have been disappointed in him.

                                        I take your point - but it's hard to divorce his skit from the discussions in the media recently. Particularly the cop who was censured for saying that women should dress more conservatively if they want to avoid being raped.

                                        I still think there's a major problem with the analogy.

                                        If you're confused about what a woman wants - try the direct approach. Ask!

                                          It's so sexist though. There's no "whore" uniform for men, but somehow a women's fashion choices have all of these other implications. Not all women dress sexy for male attention, despite what bullshit mainstream media tries to shove down our throats. To assume that a woman dresses the way she does for sexual attention just further promotes rape culture. The problem isn't in how women dress, it's how our society takes that in. I want to live in a society where I can wear sequined booty shorts and not have to deal with unwanted male attention. If it's confusing for you, that's your own fucking problem. Not mine.

                                          Tight leather pants and assless chaps seems more like the "gay" uniform. I imagine a manwhore looking like those jersey shore guys.

                                          Frankly, if you're wearing assless chaps in public, you're advertising enough that I'd probably chalk it up as 'male prostitute' anyhow.

                                          Ah yes, so maybe pantless chaps or something? I guess assless chaps really would be the easiest way to describe it. Pantless might imply the person is still wearing underwear.

                                          By the way. Sorry I was so harsh, I was just sitting around feeling guilty about my comment about 30 seconds before I saw my orangered. I was a total douche bag.

                                            ...somehow a women's fashion choices have all of these other implications. ... If it's confusing for you, that's your own fucking problem. Not mine.

                                            just out of curiosity, i'm wondering if you'd apply your own logic when it involves a situation you may not be so comfortable with:

                                            do you think it'd be cool for a creepy looking guy wearing a pedobear shirt to be hanging out near a park full of kids? after all, using your logic, if you mistake him for a child rapist, that's your problem, not his, right?

                                            There's no whore uniform for men because a guy would be arrested for indecent exposure. How about that for a double standard.

                                            A guy would not be arrested for indecent exposure if he dressed in a manner comparable to how a "slut" dresses. As long as he has his dick and ass covered up, he's good to go. I don't know about how things work where you live, but even girls dressed "slutty" usually cover up their vaginas, asses, and nipples round these parts.

                                            Regardless of sex, if you have your genitals hanging out, you can be arrested for indecent exposure. But it's okay for men to be shirtless in many situations where it's not okay for women because women's bodies are sexualized much more than men's. For the same reason that a women who enjoys sex is considered a whore with a negative connotation in our society, but for men, it's expected. Shit's fucked, is all I'm trying to say.

                                                You could ask her. Boom. You know, like she's a normal person? Because she, like, totally is? If she's dressed like a slut but doesn't want to have sex with you, then I don't see what is so confusing. And, yes, it has way more to do with rape than you choose to address. Girls are not confusing.

                                                  Have you actually gone up and asked a woman if she is in fact a whore? I mean you ask her if she is a whore and then, what, chime in with, "oh well I'm only asking because you are DRESSED like a whore, but I don't want to assume you are, so I thought I would ask." - yeah that would go over really well.

                                                  It's called respectful communication. And it's pretty rad and makes sex and relationships in general a fuck ton easier.

                                                    The discussion is about the idea that somehow women are asking to be raped based on how they dress.

                                                    Is it really? Have you heard anyone, anywhere in a western country where the slutwalks occur say that someone is asking to be raped or deserves to be raped because they wear revealing clothing?

                                                    The slutwalks are filled with things like "revealing clothing does not mean consent!". But I'm not sure who they're arguing against; no one has said anything of the sort, that I know of.

                                                    Some people, including the cop whose remarks started this all, advise women to not wear "slutty" clothing to avoid getting raped. Rather useless advice? Probably. But is it telling them they're asking for it or deserve it? Nope.

                                                      What? This joke wasn't at all about rape <_<

                                                      They don't blame victims of robbery.

                                                      lolwhat? It's the exact opposite. Only in sexual crimes is even the tiniest bit of victim blaming met with full force aggression. Very few people are going to get pissed if you tell the guy who walked home down a dark alley in a project area who got mugged that he probably should have taken a better lit, more public route.

He's not talking about rape or even declining sex! He's not saying she owes him anything, he's saying that if you dress like a slut you shouldn't be surprised if you draw some stares or get propositioned.

                                                        Let's be honest here. This seems like somewhat of a generalization. How many guys do you know who genuinely feel that women have an obligation to sleep with them be it the skankiest or most innocent lady you've ever seen? I certainly don't know any.

                                                        They might not put it that way, but a lot of guys will gladly yell rude "suggestive" things at a woman in public who's showing her legs or something. Or honk a car horn or whistle or something.

                                                        Also, guys apparently don't know about a lot of it because apparently it usually only happens to women if they're alone i.e. walking down a sidewalk or something. If you're any sort of decent guy like you sound like or like myself, you don't do these things, and since you aren't with women when they're out alone, you never see them done, but they are done quite often.

                                                        I can go out with my girlfriend every day for years and never have anything like that happen. But apparently, if my girlfriend goes on a walk by herself in anything less than an upper middle class neighborhood, she gets at least one person harassing her in an unpleasant sexual way. Be it car horns or rude comments. And she's a very classy dresser too!

                                                        Spot on. My bf and I were testing my mflb (vaporizer) at work (shhh dont tell) and we were in the back. (I am the only employee there at this time) He stayed hiding in the back, and during the length of time he was there three different customers came in and two of them openly flirted with me and one (who seemed to be sort of handicapped) started geting aggressive when I asked him to leave. (I am in a shitty part of town, mind you) My bf was boggled that within ten minutes two people tried to get my phone number and one person was rude and had no idea that people actually acted like that towards girls.

                                                        I've had someone almost hit me before because they came onto me and I said no. I've had crappy things happen to me, and within minutes of getting out of the situation had a guy tell me I "deserved whatever I got" because of what I was wearing. It's happened to me, personally, on so many different occasions that I can't fathom that you don't actually know any.

                                                          I don't think he was really touching on this point of "if she's a slut, she will sleep with me." It's more of judging point he is touching on. As in, you can tell someone is a slut by the way they are dressed, and then judge them as a "slut" and not sleep with them because they are "slutty" and std-ridden, or what have you.

                                                          Thinking she's a slut doesn't imply that one thinks she owes them anything. It just means that they will probably try to get with her, yes. Nothing wrong with that. Surprised at being turned down != pissy.

                                                          Setting matters as well, if you see that man inside a Subway restaurant he is likely going to make a sandwich, if not for you someone else. If he declined and said he was on prep you may be surprised as well.

                                                          A slut does not owe him sex, but a slut is (by definition) a woman of easy virtue

                                                          Whereas a cop is pretty much obligated to help anyone out if, say, that person is getting mugged

                                                          but a man dressed as a police officer is not

                                                          All he's saying is you can't blame him for being confused. Sluts behave differently to girls who are not sluts - the difference between a slut and another woman is how they behave. Sluts dress in a certain way, usually to identify themselves as that. A slut owes no one sex, but at the least a slut can be expected to behave in a more promiscuous manner than another woman. Dave walks up, expecting a more welcoming response (a slut can be reasonably expected to behave in a different manner, as that is their definition) and gets the same response as if she was not a slut, he has a right to be confused by that. He has a right to nothing else from her.

                                                          If I went into a gaybar, painted rainbow colours, wearing a mankini, an earring in my right ear, a tattoo that marks me as a homosexual and in a t-shirt that says "I love cock" I should expect people to be confused if they made sexual advances on me and I got offended because I have a girlfriend and I'm not "that type of guy". People signal themselves as behaving one way and then get angry when people read those signals. I should be allowed to behave in such a way, and not expect sexual assault, but you can't blame people for being confused.

                                                            Best part of that joke was that I read it in Chris Rock's voice, for some reason.

                                                            I read it as Michael Scott's impression of Chris Rock's voice.

                                                              Or, put another way:

                                                              If you dress in saggy, baggy pants and an oversized hoodie, don't get offended when people cross to the other side of the street when they're walking past you at night. You might not be a thug, but you look like you could be one.

                                                              No woman deserves harassment based on her clothing, but hitting on you isn't harassment. (Unless they're really being an asshole.)

                                                              Honestly, I'd rather have women wearing whatever the fuck clothes they want than advocate some puritanical bullshit like this. It almost seems misogynistic to suggest that women need to cover up or get treated as whores. Well, if you're a guy and you wear Abercrombie or American Eagle, does that give me a right to assume you're a date rapist frat boy who bullied people his whole life? Because you're wearing the uniform.

They judge him right in his face, "Oscar you are so mean! Isn't he kids?", "Yeah Oscar! You're a grouch!", its like "BITCH! I LIVE IN A FUCKING TRASHCAN!"

                                                                        The point is valid, and the joke isn't about a guy going up and assuming a woman owes him sex because of how she's dressed. I don't even know where people are getting that from. If you're dressed in the shortest little skirt and have your tits almost hanging out, and a guy comes up to you and hits on you don't get all pissed off. That's what the joke is about.

                                                                        I fail to comprehend how the same reddit that upvotes everything saying the wall street protesters need to dress better, because how you dress gives off the impression of how you are can at the same time say this is a bad analogy. It's the same logic. Don't dress in a sexual manner if you don't want people to think of you sexually.

                                                                        If you wear a suit and tie, but wanted people to think of you as a biker, and treat you as such, then you're retarded.

                                                                        Which is really silly as all get-out. You don't get to separate the signaling mechanism from its signal that way.

It doesn't portray women as a black-hearted succubus that will sleep with everyone except for a redditor (who is obviously a nice guy and doesn't have anger issues with women at all). It doesn't portray every man as some sort of degenerate bestial sex equivalent of a botfly that lurks in the shadows waiting for its opportunity to rape.

This will get downvoted to hell but even though I love Dave Chappelle, this promotes disrespectful thought and behavior towards women.

                                                                          The whole argument about what a woman is wearing has little to do with how a woman is labelled. Some women are proud of being promiscuous or think it's nothing to be ashamed of, and use the term "slut" proudly.

                                                                          It's about using their clothing as a justification for how you treat them. Plain and simple.

                                                                          As for the cop analogy... a cop is a profession. A "slut" is a label someone puts on someone who has had a few more sexual partners than they consider "appropriate." A slut is not working for a paycheque, therefore she has no expectations.

                                                                          I get it, it's a joke, it's a joke, but it's a fairly serious issue.

                                                                          He's saying it's confusing to people. You can argue about how people should treat one another, or view one another, or view themselves but to me it seems like he's not talking about that - he's just saying how it is often interpreted.

                                                                          I don't really think nitpicking an analogy is all that productive, but in any case he uses the word 'whore' instead of 'slut' - whores do work for money. Still, even ignoring the specifics behind the analogy - if I wear a Red Sox hat, people just may assume I'm a Red Sox fan. There are many ways analogies such as these can break down, but they're not supposed to be universally, 100% accurate, they just give you an idea... and the idea is that your appearance affects the way people see you, whether that's proper or not.

                                                                                          That's the tricky part of society and how anthropologists justify their career. There are all sorts of small identifiers that one displays to show themselves as a member of a specific culture. In highly homogenized societies, there is little choice in self-identifying oneself with a different culture, and the consequences can be severe for those (eg stoning)

                                                                                          However, the more cultural identities contained within the society, the more nuanced these roles can be. That's kind of the issue here. The idea of a 'slut' is a construct that used to serve a purpose at some point. The idea of what constitutes one has changed from a woman that doesn't wear her third petticoat to a more intangible quality.

                                                                                          Depending on the perceived norm, deviating from the 'mainstream culture' into the slut role can carry with it some social consequences, whether or not it's justified is a whole other discussion.

                                                                                          All in all, these outlying cultural identities and the ostracizing of those who embrace it will always exist. It's simply what is perceived as the norm.

                                                                                          Hmm, I wrote this on my phone, and I'm fairly certain it's very rambling and makes no sense.

Reddit is full of people who pride themselves on being insanely logical when discussing atheism, or to be total white-knights when talking about being nice to the religious, or people who think that racist Redditors are trolls, or people who are considered with every little implication going on in politics, or Occupy Wall Street supporters. The amount of unapologetic sexism here is hurtful. Actually. Literally. Hurtful. But I'm just a dumb bitch who needs to get a sense of humor because women are CRAZY rite? I hate that there's something like this on the front page every day. It's disgusting.

For this women have to be attractive, but must have a right to say no. That is what most people don't want to understand ; because either as women they did not do any effort and are jealous, or as men are sad of being rejected. Of course, people want to be loved "for themselves". But if they are uneducated, obnoxious, poor, lazy, fat, not groomed, unfunny, not well dressed, in bad shape, with bad teeth, what can they expect ?

                                                                                            I walked down a street in NYC the other day that once upon a time used to be where ladies for an evening of hire could be found. A friend lived on this street, so I traversed it often. This recent evening, the girls walking up the street were dressed EXACTLY like those ladies now long gone. But for just a minute, I felt like I had gone back in time.
