Should a woman be treated differently if...

[John V]

I can only speak for myself and the faith I follow, but one of our fundamental beliefs as Christians is that every single human being has inherent value assigned to us by God at the moment of conception, and ought to be treated as such. This is inherent value that we believe cannot be taken away regardless of anything, especially not something as trivial as the presence of absence of clothing.

I agree that every person has inherent value and therefore deserves a certain amount of respect. However, a person's actions can earn additional respect above that inherent amount - or not. I'd be doing my daughters a disservice to tell them to go ahead and dress like whores, because as human beings they have a certain amount of inherent value that can't be taken away from them. I think they should take that inherent value and build on it. And, I'd bet that if we looked at your wardrobe we'd find that you pay more attention to your appearance than your stated position would warrant.
