“What’s the Shortest Skirt You’ll Wear?”

yamanaka-sawako-by-toten.jpg

Japanese women surveyed on how short a skirt (or hot pants) they are willing to wear give some depressingly modest responses.

The ranking (number of responses in parentheses):

1. Above the knee (2632)

2. Half covering my thigh (2376)

3. Covering the top of my thigh (1455)

4. If it just covers my derrière… (1232)

5. “Just” knee length (946)

6. Below the knee (622)

7. Ankle length (417)

Male mini-skirt admirers can of course be thankful that most responses are somewhere above the knee.

    We need a parallel study of the length of socks/stockings these women would wear to measure how good the Japanese are at keeping a good zettai ryouiki

    Because we need to see more zettai ryouiki

    We also need to check up on which era these gals hail from.

    "7. Ankle length (417)"

    Clearly some Taisho-era grannies in the mix!

    China-dress ain't no skirt. There's a lot to be said for semi-transparent summer dresses that stick to their skin in the heat, though...

    Yes, it states that they would only wear skirts that reach their ankles, but they never said that it would be at their waist.

    I for one wouldn't do that.
    Women's beatuty lies in their clothing, we are not apes and we don't strip. Quoting Maebara Keiichi from Higurashi Naku koro ni:

    "You all just won't get it!!! Just won't get it!!!
    Completely naked is NOT MOE!!! Even if you took off the clothes Don't take off the socks! Even though if the heaves lets the sun rises from the west! This is absolute absolute Moe industry's iron ruleeee!!

    Right, listen Monkeys. Homo Saipens and animals difference being what? Yes, clothings. Human begun the moment they wore cloths!!! YOUR lack of restraint of taking all clothes off, means you are BELOW human!!! Same as animals! I am here to correct you all!

    We see AV stripping scenes. For example this Cosplay H video. Cosplay's definition is too broad. To explain this is impossibly harder than explaing Japanese Sprit to yankees parachuting from a B-29! So I am going to explain the most prominent of all cosplay: School uniforms.

    What're the 3 holy Trinity of school unitforms: Sailor, Sukuuru Mizu, sports uniform. School uniform with blazer type can be categorized differently. Surely Puruma and sport oriented ones can be differentiated just the same. Whether Skuuru mizuki is navy blue or white just as well! How's this, isn't this a reverberating sweet essence?

    ...(Omitted reference to characters)

    These moe clothing, you can use your useless braincells to follow your lust, stripped naked all you want, but try to think carefully!! If you take off all the clothes, this is NOT cosplay H. Monkey, Pheasants! Get the milet dumplings and disappear off to the demonic island!! Get back here!

    Anyhow recently East-West snow melted, extreme volume of AV from Russia had disembarked. Don't you know this fools! Uniform-kei and Russian-kei combined Schoolgirl beauty, this is like trying to do a Sanshin Gattai without Getter Robo 2, or water mixed with oil. My humble self is not aceepting this!! School uniform is Japanese cultural art!! Hairy foreigners won't not understand the Japanese culture! ..."

    『このボケナスどもがああああぁああぁあ!!!!

     だからここでは最も普及していると思われる制服系で説明することとする!!
     制服系の御三家と言えば何か!!!答えてみろ!!そうだな、制服、体操服、スクール水着だろう。なおセーラーかブレザーかの好みの違いは制服にカテゴライズするものとする。勿論、ブルマーかスパッツかの違いも同様!! スク水も紺か白かの違いはあれどカテゴリーは同じ扱いだ!!!どうだ、これだけでも甘美な響きがするであろう?!!

    You can do lots of ero things even with her having her skirt on. With some delicious stockings, too. ^^
    And wherever you are with your girl, all you have to do is lift her skirt up. Hehe, skirts are great.

    well to sum it up:
    2-4 are pure win and appreciated by many followers of the male sex

    1,5 and 6 are mediocre depending on the whole impression the one wearing it gives off

    7 is a total fail if not directed to certain fashion styles (goth-loli or similar)

    Unless she's like 50 or 60, "Christmas cake" is an extremely retarded phrase, because a whole lot of women look a lot better when they're more mature.

    It has less to do with looks, and more to do with eligibility for marriage. 25+ is starting to get too old for anyone to want to marry them.

    Well, it's nice to wear a short skirt but if a girl dressed in revealing clothes gets raped, then lots of people accuse the girl instead of rapist saying that she provoked the rapist with how she was dressed.

    And like anon 18:46 says, not every girl is fit for wearing short skirts. What about those slightly overweight or obese ones? ^^"

    Not true. In any rape case, people almost universally side with the victim. This thing is most often used by rapists themselves to make the victims blame themselves and less likely to report it. It's a psychological attack.

    The entire idea that dressing in a certain way means one provokes rape is a case of affirming the consequent. In law, provocation is usually tested compared the so called "reasonable person" ( https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Reasonable_person ). A normal man wouldn't rape a woman regardless of what clothing she wears (or doesn't). This is sufficient grounds to dismiss any notion of provocation in court.

    What about those slightly overweight or obese ones?

    I would understand if the girl had some visible defect (like a scar) on her legs that she wants to hide. However, being overweight is a choice.

    Well, whenever I read news on the internet about some rape and visit a discussion connected with it (if it's allowed there) then there are always some people, only a minority fortunately, that blame the victim for being out late, for being dressed improperly, for being alone etc. But I understand those are just stupid people and no reasonable person would ever blame the real rape victim. And of course, I didn't want to say anything about men being rapists or something. No "normal man," as you said, would rape anyone and clothing doesn't matter for such a man.

    About being overweight I also agree with you. I would understand hiding a deformity but to me it's still less painful to watch someone revealing his artificial leg for example (I saw a girl like that in a mini-skirt and it seemed perfectly OK to me) than someone obese dressed improperly. It's their choice and we don't have to right to tell them what to wear or not but still...

    You probably don't know, but some girls who go out late wearing scanty clothes and get raped do not tell the cops or other men, but their girl-friends and treat it as gossip.

    I know this from experience. And that girl is a slut, no matter how she convinces herself otherwise.

    This is fucking stupid. It's like saying that leaving your laptop around unguarded isn't a provocation to thieves. A normal person wouldn't rape someone no matter what they were wearing, just like a normal person wouldn't steal a laptop that someone left lying around.

    However, people shouldn't be careful about their behaviour to protect themselves from normal people. They should be careful about their behaviour to protect themselves from sociopathic/retarded criminals. Short skirts and unguarded laptops aren't provocations to a normal person, but they are provocations to exactly the kind of people who are prepared to commit rape or theft.

    A great number of people (including the person you were responding to) seem to have great difficulty understanding the difference between provoking something and deserving it. Does a person who acts like a slut deserve to get raped? Does a person who sticks their hand in a lion's cage deserve to get their hand bitten off? The answer in both cases is no. However, in both cases the person provoked the incident.

    You've got a point.

    anon 01:46
    You're right, I don't have any experience with this kind of women. However, I can't imagine how could someone survive such a thing and then go like "ah well." But as I said, I don't know anyone like that so...
    I myself, when I go out and know that I will be out late, never wear revealing outfits to protect myself from unwanted attention. And I always have a pepper spray with me just in case.
    However, even normally dressed women get raped and some people still would blame them. That was my point. But sure, to be out alone in the middle of the night and scantily clad is not a good idea.

    No, YOU'RE fucking stupid.

    Studies of rape victims have shown time and time again, that rapist do NOT target a specific way of dressing up.

    There are NOT more rape victims dressed skimpy than there are rape victims dressed modestly.

    Not only that, most rape victims aren't even particularly attractive. They range from children age to 80 years old or older!!!

    And that's because rape is a crime of VIOLENCE. The sexual abuse is simply a very good way of hurting some one, but the goal is to hurt them, not to get their rocks off.

    Saying you have to dress in a certain way to avoid rape, is like saying you have to wear a specific clothing colour so you won't get hit by a drunk driver. One doesn't have anything to do with the other.
