JaiLyn2006 comments on why should we change the way we dress?

Wow, I honestly cannot believe that you will get judged on how you are dressed when you are a TOURIST in a country. If you were going there to live, or it was the LAW that you must wear pants and shoes than sure I can see the pressure for assimilation (like how it's written law in middle eastern countries that ALL women should be covered from head to toe). However we're talking about taking a vacation somewhere for fun and relaxation, and it's just pettiness to point and laugh at people wearing shorts and sandals. "Hur, hur....dats so funny."

I've never walked up to someone from India or Pakistan and told them to take off their saris or laugh at them for wearing a hijab or kufi.

And if I'm being told not to wear shorts or sandals in 80 DEGREE WEATHER than kiss my ass and kiss it a thousand times. I'm not sacrificing my comfort in order to make someone happy. And if you don't like what I am wearing, then please feel free to buy me something that will suit your sense of style.
